Listen here: Under Milk Wood

The National Museum in Cardiff currently (until 16 March) has an extraordinary exhibition by Peter Blake of his illustrations for Under Milk Wood . See it!

Every afternoon they play the recording by George Martin from 1988 which features a great deal of music and performances by 40 Welsh actors including Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce as 1st and 2nd Voice.

Musical performances from Sir Geraint Evans , Mary Hopkin , Tom Jones, Bonnie Tyler create a unique experience with music specially written, including by Elton John.

I have strung together this musical selection for todays Radio Glamorgan show with as little interruption as possible. (Sadly there was a microphone malfunction and rather more post production than is good - but the music is fine!)

When you enjoy it seek out the album and hear the whole story of Llareggub. ( CD EMI 7243 5 85157 2 5 ) I do not get referral for the record and I would prefer you to buy from your local record shop
