About This Event

Gareth Gwynn brings his debut solo show *Cyril* to the Gilded Balloon Patter House on Wednesday 5 August. The co-writer of BBC Radio 4’s *The Now Show* delves into the life of his great-great-uncle, Cyril Gwynn, a Welsh farmer and poet known as the Bard of Gower. Gwynn, who possesses none of his relative’s wartime valour or agricultural skill, works through a book of Cyril’s poems in a bid to discover some common ground. The result is a dry, self-deprecating hour that toys with family history, identity, and the chasms that open between generations.

The event takes place at the Gilded Balloon Patter House in Edinburgh on Wednesday 5 August. The show begins at midnight.

Gareth Gwynn performs his debut solo show, Cyril, in which he delves into the life of his great-great-uncle, Cyril Gwynn, a Welsh farmer and poet known as the Bard of Gower.
