Hi all

A lot has hapened since I first displayed my painting of the BBC broadcastof Dylan and his friends sitting around a table at The Grove in the Uplands, Swansea. The painting has been on a tour of variousestablishments around Swansea and Mumbles, at the moment it ison display at the Kardomah Cafe (very fitting) however on the 27th of May it will be placed at it's perminant residency, in Llys Glas , which most people will remember as the old Swansea Police Station. Gwalia have compleately renovated the building and what a wonderful job they have made of it, with a fabulous tearoom and restaraunt, working art studios and two large exhibition halls. The painting willonce again be unvailed asthe centre piece of the full exhibitionof The Life & Times of Dylan Thomas. On the evening of the launch we are hoping to have a re-enactment of the event that is taking place in the painting with 'lookalikes reading the actual scripts', together with other entertainment. I will continue to update this blog as we move closer to the event date and know more details of our entertainment. Jeff

Well, here is an update on the evening of the 27th May at Llys Glas. We have actors to play the roles of Venon Watkins, Daniel Jones, John Prichard and Alfred Janes but most important of all is that we havetheBBC Wales celebrity, Chris Needs MBE, to play the part of Dylan 'this should be intresting', I am looking forward to it.

Bye for now Jeff
