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.
