WAM ON TOUR

Showcasing WORDS,  ART and  MUSIC at Treorchy library. Featuring Poetry from the superb, inimitable Mike Church and Music from emotive Singer/Songwriter Paul Rosser. WAM events are an initiative of the Workers Gallery, Ynyshir, where they have a constantly changing exhibition schedule across three distinct spaces. At their high street venue you can view exhibitions from artists and designers from Wales, UK & Europe. The Workers Gallery host regular WAM Nights of Words, Art & Music on the 1st Thursday evening of every month.
There will also be an Art exhibition featuring the work of local artist and Treorchy Born Sion Tomos Owen. 
Siôn is a TV presenter for S4C’s programme, ‘Pobol y Rhondda’ (People of the Rhondda), a cartoonist, artist and writer. His 2016 book ‘Cawl’ published by Parthian is a mix of poetry, drawings, comics, short stories and musings on modern life in the Rhondda. The book also bridges cultural topics in an inclusive way, including Welsh and English language use in the south Wales valleys. Although having been brought up in a Welsh speaking homestead (his dad having learnt Welsh) and attending Welsh speaking schools in the area, he is nevertheless adamant for the need to normalise the Welsh language in the valleys.
