    Default Liverpool Welsh Capital of Culture events

    Wales watch
    Feb 23 2008 by Catherine Jones, Liverpool Echo

    EIGHT days of cultural celebrations marking the Welsh influence on Liverpool start next weekend.



    Singer and broadcaster Aled Jones will join the Welsh Choral Union and RLPO to mark St David’s Day at the Philharmonic Hall on March 1 and begin the festivities.

    The events include a bilingual service at St Nicholas’s church on Sunday, March 2, a folk culture lecture at the Friends Meeting House in School Lane, on Monday, March 3, and a talk on the history of Welsh people in Liverpool at the Athenaeum on Friday, March 7. The week will end with a St David’s Day dinner at the Adelphi on Saturday March 8.

    Meanwhile on Wednesday March 5, an evening of “rhymes and rhythm” takes place at the Bethel Welsh Presbyterian church in Heathfield Road, Wavertree.

    The evening features the national poet of Wales, Professor Gwyn Thomas, Liverpudlian Anglo-Welsh poet Dr Deryn Rees-Jones, and Welsh triple harpist, Liverpudlian Robin Huw Bowen.

    Arthur Thomas, from the Bethel church, said: “Professor Thomas is one of the most prolific poets in Wales today. He writes in Welsh but his themes are global and will be translated for those who do not speak the language.

    “Dr Deryn Rees-Jones is a senior lecturer in English at Liverpool university and has recently been voted one of the 20 best poets of the next generation by the Poetry Book Society.”

    The evening starts at 7.30pm and entry is £5.

    The Welsh have had a presence in Liverpool for hundreds of years.

    Details of all the events and ticket prices are available by visiting the website www.liverpool-welsh.co.uk/cc2008.htm

    Meet at 2PM at Victoria Monument in Derby Square on Saturday 1st March. Cost £3. I hope to cover the importance of chapel, Welsh builders, Eisteddfods in Liverpool, Little Wales, The Welsh bonesetters, Owen Owen and Sir Alfred Lewis - that's if I get my finger out and get writing!

    Don't forget T J Hughes shop as well. Also not every Welsman worshipped in a chapel. Remember St David's Church of England church, Brownlow Hill's services were all in Welsh and several other Church of England churches ran some services in Welsh eg St Paul's

    Not seen anything on the internet. I once attended a talk about the history of T J Hughes shop. Their present one in London Rd was once owned by Owen Owen. T J Hughes had a smaller shop on London Rd nearer the town centre. If you contact the company, they should be able to help you with the store's history.

    This overtly displays the Liverpool Welsh connections. The Welsh virtually built Bootle.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?
