Broken Peace

Work:: Broken Peace (S1925554365)

Part of the Tonypandy 1910 - 2010 Commemorations. Who were the people from our Valleys who struggled through unimaginable hardship with courage, strength, and typical Welsh humour? What were their lives like during this struggle and how does that resonate with us today? Do you recognise any faces in the crowd in the old photographs? What stories have been told and pictures handed down through the generations? This period in time within the Rhondda Valleys may have culminated in the riotous events in 1910, but this unique live music event is more than just remembering a single day… It's an insight into the thoughts, emotions, fears and strengths of the people of the Valleys, via songs written especially for this music event by internationally acclaimed award-winning Welsh singer-songwriter Martyn Joseph. One of acoustic music's most arresting artists, Martyn will be joined by students from Tonypandy Community College and Ysgol Gyfun Y Cymer, who will be contributing compositions and musical accompaniment guided by MD Andrew Griffiths. As well as performing the debut of his new music, Martyn will completely enthral you with a collection of his popular songs from his outstanding 30 year career.
