I was curious to see this performance, and a little unconvinced that it would work. A bilingual fusion of soul folk and jazz to tell the tale of a Welsh rainforest (is there such a thing?) seemed a stretch of artistic ability. My apprehensions were unfounded, as the performers were a delight and I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Kizzy Crawford was well cast, with her effortless melodies as pure as birdsong. Sickeningly talented, really, she was an enchanting presence on stage. As a Welsh learner, I appreciated the opportunity to hear Welsh lyrics, and found Kizzy to be most authentic when she was singing in Welsh. The ensemble also had their own characters and personalities which came through their portrayal of the forest and its wildlife, and I was entertained by their efforts in their own right. Everyone on stage seemed to enjoy themselves as much as the audience. I may now be more adventurous in what I am willing to go to see at the theatre.
