Summer comes rolling around for Wynford Jones & Geoff Cripps

Wynford Jones & Geoff Cripps

Following the successful reissue of their former band’s 1987 album, Cause For Complaint Remastered & Expanded ,Wynford Jones & Geoff Cripps are pleased to announce a few live dates this summer where they will be performing songs from that album.

First up will be their main stage appearance at the Trowbridge Festival ( https://www.trowbridgefestival.co.uk/ ) on Saturday 26th July. Wynford and Geoff last appeared at the original Village Pump Folk Festival, Trowbridge in 1989!! That was with the full band but this time they are delighted to showcase Wynford’s unique songwriting in their duo format.

Following that festival Wynford and Geoff will make their debut at The Met in Abertyleri on Friday 1st August and then go on to return to the Blaengarw Workmen’s Hall on Wednesday 6th August. Courtesy of Awen Cultural Trust these events are free to attend.

Pausing only to take some rehearsal time, release a new video performance and a secret festival appearance, this run of gigs will be completed on Thursday 2nd October when they make a full concert appearance at the historic Park & Dare Theatre Stiwdio 1 Treorci on Thursday 2nd October.

As leading Welsh singer-songwriter Martyn Joseph said , “I can’t recall a moment in my lifetime when we needed the siren call of protest more than now,” he said. “We need the spirit of these songs…to remind ourselves of who we truly are.”
