Patrick Jones, John Robb

The older brother of Nicky Wire from the Manic Street Preachers, Patrick Jones is a brilliant poet whose hypnotic Welsh lilt empowers his compassionate and very human lyrics full of community and love in these Brexit times with a lone political voice. The 21st Century Dylan Thomas has recorded this album with the Membranes John Robb who provides the haunting musical pieces, scoring powerful classical strings backings full of the same drama and landscapes as the words.
