The Land of Song heads to the English capital this month for an annual celebration of Welsh talent.
Wales Week London is a seven-day showcase designed to celebrate and promote the best of Wales. With events across the city ranging from male voice choirs to contemporary art, the organisers aim to make “as much Welsh noise as possible”.
One musician aiming to raise the roof is Mal Pope. The Swansea-based singer songwriter first found fame in the 1970s when a cassette tape of his tunes caught the ear of legendary DJ John Peel. This led to a record deal with Elton John’s Rocket Records and, 50 years later, Mal is celebrating his ‘Golden Jubilee’ in the business.
Currently on the road with a decades-spanning tour, he will be hosting a night of song and memories at All Souls, Langham Place, on Tuesday, February 27. He will be joined by some special guests for the occasion, including fellow Swansea success story Steve Balsamo, who wowed West End theatregoers in the title role of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Helping Mal make the trip from Swansea to Westminster is the lcv group. One of the UK’s leading suppliers of vehicles into business, CEO Rod Lloyd has sourced the perfect van to ensure the musicians make the trip up and down the M4 in style.
Rod Lloyd, CEO of the lcv group, said:
“It’s great to be able to support Mal at Wales Week London, where he’ll be flying the flag for Welsh talent and businesses. We wish him well for the gig, which will surely be one of the highlights of a fantastic week of the events.”
Mal Pope said:
“It’s good for us to be taking the best of Welsh music to London. Rod has always been a tremendous supporter of my work, and it’s great that we can arrive in London in a top of the range van.
“It’s amazing how the quality of vans has changed over the years. Back in the 1980s we were touring around in the back of an old white Transit, sitting on bags of cement – look at us now!”
An Evening with Welsh Singer/ Songwriter Mal Pope will be at All Souls, Langham Place, London, on Tuesday, February 27. Tickets are avaiable here.
