    The Snowman Film with Live Orchestra

    Theatr Brycheiniog

    Children's Events | Digwyddiadau i Blant
    Something magical is happening this Christmas… 

    The classic animated film of The Snowman, accompanied by The Welsh Film Orchestra arrives at Theatr Brycheiniog this December. Narrated by Welsh international baritone and personality Mark Llewelyn Evans, this event is the perfect way to get into the festive spirit.

    But the event will not just be the film! With a running time of approximately 70 minutes this family event will feature a packed programme of Christmas music, Christmas sing-a-longs, a visit from Santa, performances by vocalist Ania Davies and not forgetting the classic ‘Walking in the Air’ sung by our amazing young chorister.
    This very rare opportunity to experience the classic film with live orchestra is set to be a complete sell out.

    For more information visit - www.thesnowman.com © Snowman Enterprises Limited. ‘The Snowman’ by Raymond Briggs is published by Puffin.

    The 3D, CG-animated family comedy Arthur Christmas, an Aardman production for Sony Pictures Animation, at last reveals the incredible, never-before seen answer to every child's question: 'So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?' The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic - a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero, Arthur, with an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns.

    Fairport Convention Supported By Plumhall

    Theatr Brycheiniog

    Live Music | Cerddoriaeth Fyw
    Fairport Convention have been entertaining music lovers for over half a century, having formed in 1967. During that time the band that launched British folk-rock has seen many changes, but one thing has remained the same - Fairport’s passion for performance. 

    This year’s Winter Tour will present a mix of long-established Fairport favourites and some surprises from albums old and new. 

    Fairport Convention have won a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award and Radio 2 listeners voted their ground-breaking album Liege & Lief 'The Most Influential Folk Album of All Time'. Their story has been celebrated with television documentaries on BBC Four and Sky Arts. 

    The band features founding member Simon Nicol on guitar and vocals, Dave Pegg on bass guitar, Ric Sanders on violin, Chris Leslie on fiddle, mandolin and vocals. Fairport will be joined on stage by former member Dave Mattacks on Drums. 

    Support comes from the brilliant PLUMHALL (Michelle Plum and Nick B Hall). Using a mesmerising combination of acoustic and electric instruments (occasionally with electronica), they create breath-taking soundscapes to their powerful original songs. 

    "Stuffing their set with a surprising amount of new material for a vintage act, Fairport are still clearly having fun and brought the house down." The Guardian 

    "Fairport is an institution, a festival, purveyors of memories, and keepers of the folk flame. But most of all they are a brilliant live band." Folk & Tumble

    Sir John Lloyd Lecture: Brychan Fact And Fiction

    Theatr Brycheiniog

    Spoken Word | Darlithiau

    Brycheiniog, the ancient Welsh name for Breconshire, took its name from a person called Brychan. This begs an obvious question: who was Brychan?In the early Middle Ages, churchmen were ruminating on the life and times of Brychan.This medieval process of rumination produced a series of documents, in Latin and in Welsh, concerning the ‘Matter of Brycheiniog’, which purport to tell the life of Brychan and explain the origins of his kingdom and its churches.This lecture will trace the history of Brycheiniog from the earliest Middle Ages through to the Norman conquest.It will contextualise the genesis of the Brychan legends as well as the famous lists of his saintly progeny.Perhaps, in the end, we might even steal a glance at the ‘real’ Brychan.

    Dr Ben Guy is Assistant Professor in Celtic in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at the University of Cambridge.

    Feral Monster

    Theatr Brycheiniog

    Musical | Sioeau Cerdd

    A banging new musical about an unremarkable teenager.

    Expelled from school and not even able to get a job at the chippy, Jax (she/they/whatever) is a cocky, loveable teen living with her Nan in a tiny, boring village.

    When Jax meets Ffion, with her smart talk and loud looks, sparks fly. Queer teenage lust brings together this unlikely match in all its messy, clumsy and awesome glory.

    Feral Monster follows Jax and her noisy, opinionated brain as they navigate love, identity, class and family.

    Mashing up grime, R&B, soul, pop and rap, the soundtrack takes us from the high highs to low lows of the hormonal rollercoaster of adolescence.

    –

    Feral Monster is written by Bethan Marlow and directed by Izzy Rabey, with music by Nicola T. Chang. 

    The cast features Lily Beau, Carys Eleri, Geraint Rhys Edwards, Rebecca Hayes, Nathaniel Leacock and Leila Navabi. 

    Feral Monster is supported by PRS Foundation’s The Open Fund and John Ellerman Foundation, as part of NTWs’ Dramaturg programme.

    Theatr Brycheiniog

    Spoken Word | Darlithiau

    Prepare to hear Aled Jones as you’ve never heard him before. He was the boy treble who captivated the world with his angelic voice. Selling over seven million albums, Aled was the original, classical crossover star. His recording of Walking in the Air, from the animated film The Snowman, firmly established him as a household name and he has become an integral part of the nation's festivities. 

    Equally at home on the classical stage, or starring in musical theatre productions in the London West End, his credits include lead roles in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Irving Berlin’s White Christmas.  

    As a singer, Aled is in demand globally and has performed in the world's most iconic venues, from London’s Royal Albert Hall to the Sydney Opera House. A favourite with the Royal Family, he even gave a private performance to King Charles III in Kensington Palace. He is an award-winning television broadcaster and radio presenter who’s interviewed hundreds of A-List stars over the years. He heads up BBC’s Songs of Praise and his own Saturday and Sunday morning shows on Classic FM. 

    Now, after 40 years in the business, he’s looking back on a remarkable career with a one-man show, that will feature never-before-heard music,  tales from the decades and for the first time, his story told in his own words. It's time to come Full Circle.

    A Short History of Flowers: The Stories That Make Our Gardens

    Theatr Brycheiniog

    This lecture includes tales of exploration, unrequited but also enduring love, botanical piracy and excessive hybridisation bringing these beautiful flowers to life. From the flamboyant bougainvillea, collected in Rio de Janeiro by an 18th century female botanist in disguise to the deliciously scented stock which made a journey across France bearable for a 19th century traveller. These flowers have played pivotal roles in our societies across the world, from boom to bust economies, the Fuchsia hedgerows of Ireland as well as making bold fashion statements, these unassuming blooms hold treasure troves of stories. The lecture is based on Advolly’s upcoming book, A Short History of Flowers to be published in February 2024 with specially commissioned artworks from award-winning botanical illustrator Sarah Jane Humphrey.


    About the speaker
