Very interested to hear about Go tell the bees and the session at the Castle Inn Manobier on the 17 Feb. I sent a copy of my song relating the history of Capt Furze - the man o war from Manobier - to the Castle Inn some time ago and as I heard nothing I didn't chase it up but having read about Manobier's unique history I'm sure there would be enough material for a musical, perhaps set in the castle.

Looking at the bus and train timetable it would difficult for me to travel to Manobier from Caerffili and impossible to return, especially with the flooding. However, as I said, if there was a composer interested in a song cycle/musical type of entertainment I would be interested in writing the lyrics.
