Ceri Rhys Matthews; folk musician, artist and founding member of Welsh group fernhill, has developed a new one-man show distilled from his explorations in music, language, dance and other random human activity over the last thirty years.
Inspired by long solo walks he has been taking along the Pembrokeshire coastal path since the spring of 2010, the event is entitled rambles through tunes and takes the audience on an unstructured musical and conversational dander through the medium of folk music, new tunes, bits of remembered things from the day... snippets; creating a patchwork of song, flute, poetry, bagpipe, social history and memory. Not storytelling, but telling stories; not performing, but playing music; not chatting, but sharing histories.
Put simply: he walks in, plays his flute, and embarks on a shared reverie with everyone present, just as has been done for millennia. It works on a footpath, in a field, front room, tent, gallery, church, cafe, club, village hall or concert space.
