Following a trip to Laugharne during the summer of 2014, I felt very inspired to create some music that would blend with the wonderful poetry of Dylan Thomas. I started by listening to a recording of Dylan's iconic 'Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night' and found that his rhythmical delivery sparked an abundance of musical possibilities. With a combination of a strong melody and Dylan's beautiful words, I was able to create this haunting soundscape which reflected the message within the poem. I was so inspired by the outcome, I started work on another Dylan masterpiece,'The Hunchback In The Park'. Once completed, I contacted the Dylan Thomas Foundation, then two months later I received a wonderful response from Hannah Ellis (Dylan's granddaughter). She told me how much she enjoyed my contemporary approach to her Grandfather's work and kindly granted me permission to develop the idea further. Nine months later, the project was completed with 18 poems adapted and preparations were under way for a live presentation of the work.

Following our debut performance at The National Library of Wales in March 2016, we performed many shows across Wales including Theatres, Festivals, Arts Centres  and a memorable performance at the Dylan Thomas Boat House (concert in the garden) to coincide with International Dylan Day. Six months later, we received a personal invitation from Hannah to perform at Westminster Abbey for her Grandfather's memorial service which was a wonderful experience. Apart from the domestic interest, we have received invitations to perform in parts of Canada and New York where Dylan's fine legacy still resonates.
