With Martyn Joseph.
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.

Who is the amazing Martyn Joseph?
Martyn Joseph is a performer like no other.
“One of the most charismatic and electrifying performers in Britain today...tough and passionate ”
Tom Robinson BBC 6 music
Shades of Springsteen, Knopfler and Dave Matthews there may be - but he stands in his own right, built on a reputation for giving what thousands have described as the best live music experience of their lives.
Martyn`s 30 year career has embraced some notable achievements including 5 Top 50 UK chart positions, with such songs as Dolphins Make Me Cry, Working Mother and Let`s Talk About it in the Morning, and appearances and tours with, amongst others, Suzanne Vega, Marc Cohn, Joan Armatrading, Clannad, Chris de Burgh, Art Garfunkel, Jools Holland and Celine Dion. He has won fans everywhere with his uncanny fusion of material -feisty, pull no punches big issue numbers alongside stripped bare love songs.
Always charming, sometimes alarming, Martyn Joseph is a unique songwriter who delivers an ultimate, life affirming message.
“One of acoustic music’s most original voices, and most forward looking of his generation of singer-songwriters ”Q Magazine
