this young boy epitomizes our welsh ambivalent love for both rugby and music. this place, pant-y-wean, was once, in the 1930s, voted the most beautiful village in south wales, but it has long since been obliterated by opencast mining. when i asked what he was doing, he replied, “my mother gave it to me to mend.”
