Vocalist
MARCIA PENDLEBURY. If you haven't
heard Marcia's eclectic mix of styles,
from Bessie Smith blues to the present
day, this is a chance not to be
missed. Guitarist Andy Mackenzie
has put together a great band to
back her, with Greg Robley (who
brought us Miranda) on bass, and
Chris Pendlebury on drums. Together
with Garry Bywater on tenor sax,
& Gwyn Evans on trumpet &
flugelhorn, energy & musicality
will be the order of the night.
The
support act will be singer songwriter
Osian Morris from Dolgellau. In
complete contrast to the main act,
his songs will be mainly in Welsh,
but will employ the international
language of music, & his announcements
will be bilingual. It is
highly recommended that reservations
should be made in advence, as these
events are often sold out.
Organised
by Barmouth Music Workshop which
is a self funding, non profit making
community group.

Ramblers are offering seven, free
guided walks in and around Machynlleth
on the first Saturday of each month,
February to May.
Walking
is a cheap way to make new friends,
keep fit and discover your area’s
hidden places. The walks run
through some of the finest scenery,
including river meadows, upland
pasture, forest and coast. They
are 2.5 to 6 miles in length and
require no more than basic fitness.
There will usually be two
sequential walks on each Saturday
of around four miles each, allowing
you to come for a shorter or longer
walk. Many of the walks are
timed to coincide with local buses
or trains.
The
February walks are at Cwm Cadian
on Saturday 4 February at 1045.
The first walk is of six miles
from the Forestry Commission car
park at Tan y Coed, on the A487
between Machynlleth and Corris.
The second walk is an optional
extension of another four miles.
All are very welcome. Details
of all the walks are at the Penr’allt
Gallery Bookshop and the Library
at Machynlleth, and local shops,
or from Nigel at nigelkellie@hotmail.co.uk
or on 01970 612575.
