DAVE DATBLYGU: DEATH TO WELSH CULTURE ITS’ MEAT AND TRADITION

ABOUT

A portrait of David R Edwards, the front man and lyricist for Datblygu one of the foremost experimental Welsh bands of the past 30 years, just as he releases his first book of poetry in English. The book Dave Datblygu's Search In English For The House Of Tolerance, is a protest against the failures of Welsh language culture and an unflinching look at Dave's life on the margins of society.

Dave wanders around his home town of Carmarthen reading poetry to locals and drinking buddies while unleashing his cultural commentary as a tirade of abuse. Stripped down, unpretentious and minimal, Dave's poetry deals with Welsh identity, unemployment, art, love and death; soaked in wine and his unique style of dark humour.
