Friday 5 February - Rhwng: the Point Between
Rhwng will feature a special performance by Eric Maddern, who takes a provocative look at the malady that afflicts and the remedy that might heal, all threaded around the story of the bee.
He lightheartedly gets to the heart of the matter by weaving together a vibrant web of dynamic songs, timeless wisdom tales, sexy poetry, remarkable prophecy and chat with bees.
He reveals that what the bees know is what we must all learn if we are to ‘take the greatest stride of soul we ever took’ and rise to the challenge of our epoch-changing times.
