Arun Ghosh and Cerys Matthews

Musicians Cerys Matthews and Arun Ghosh present an extraordinary exploration of the worlds and words of the late, great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Join Welsh singer-songwriter and Thomas fan Matthews – whose Sunday morning show is the biggest single show on Radio 6 – for a unique night out as she takes us on a tour of Llaregubb, the fictional seaside village of Under Milk Wood, joined on stage by acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Ghosh accompanying on clarinet and harmonium. In this magical evening, the pair bring to life characters including Captain Cat and Nogood Boyo from Under Milk Wood, celebrating one of Thomas’ best known works through a mix of storytelling and music.

Matthews is a musician, author and broadcaster who hosts and programmes award-winning radio shows across BBC 6, 2 and 4. A love of Thomas has infused her career; she composed music for Dylan Thomas' A Child's Christmas and among her books is Out of Chaos Come Bliss, a collection of Thomas’ poetry compiled and with notes by Matthews as well as a retelling of Under Milk Wood, illustrated by Kate Evans. Ghosh is a British-Asian clarinettist, bandleader and composer. Twice awarded Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards (UK), Ghosh leads his own ensembles, touring nationally and internationally.
