Mike Parker’s Final Season Salon – Winter Solstice/Alban Arthan

It’s time for the eighth and final Season Salon, Mike Parker’s 2021 canter through the old Celtic festivals, in the company of some of his favourite authors, poets and musicians. And what a finale it is!

To celebrate the Winter Solstice, Yule, Christmas, call it what you will, Mike will be joined by the legend that is Armistead Maupin. In 1974, he started penning a weekly serial in a California newspaper about the inhabitants of San Francisco’ Barbary Lane, which grew into the multimillion-selling Tales of the City series. The glorious humanity of Armistead’s books comes from his own hard-won liberation and towering authenticity. This will be a great chance to see and hear one of the world’s most popular authors up close. To finish the celebrations, we’ll be dipping into the carols of Erddig with Taro Takeuchi and singing the Christmas dawn chorus, rural Ceredigion style, with Eddie Ladd and Roger Owen.

O’r stiwdio ym Machynlleth, bydd Tharik Hussain, awdur y llyfr Minarets in the Mountains: a journey into Muslim Europe (Bradt), oedd a gyrhaeddodd restr hir y Wobr Baillie Gifford wythnos diwethaf, yn ymuno â Mike Parker. Mae’r llyfr yn un doedd a rhyfeddol, yn manylu ar ei siwrnau o amgylch y Balkans gan edrych ar haenau eu hunaniaeth, yn ogystal â’i hunaniaeth o ei hun. Bydd Pamela Petro hefyd yn ymuno – yn fyw o Massachusetts! – fydd yn lansio ei llyfr arbennig, The Long Field, sy’n canolbwyntiao ar y cysyniad o hiraeth. Mae Pamela yn adnabyddus am ei llyfrau Travels in an Old Tongue, pan deithiodd y byd yn yr iaith Gymraeg, a The Slow Breath of Stone, sy’n myfyrio ar y  Romanesg.

// 

The Autumn Equinox Season Salon promises to be very special. From the studio in Machynlleth, Mike will be joined live by Tharik Hussain, whose book Minarets in the Mountains: a journey into Muslim Europe (Bradt), was longlisted last week for the prestigious Baillie Gifford prize, the principal award for non-fiction. It’s a wise and wonderful book, detailing his journey around the Balkans and peeling back its layers of identity, and his too. He’ll also be joined – live from Massachusetts! – by Pamela Petro, who’ll be launching her wonderful new book, The Long Field, a lyrical exposition of the concept of hiraeth, that untranslatable sense of loss and longing. Pamela is known for her books Travels in an Old Tongue, when she toured the world in the Welsh language, and The Slow Breath of Stone, a loving meditation on the Romanesque.
