WAM - Words • Art • Music
@St_Elvans
Our popular monthly WAM (Words - Art Music) Night are now held, in general, on the Fourth Thursday of the month, here at St Elvan's, with larger "WAM Specials" periodically held on specific calendar dates
Hosted by the inestimable Mike Church, each event features short presentations of Words, Art & Music by guest artists, through a sociable evening in the friendly surroundings of our mezzanine gallery
Each event is intended to offer a relaxed and informal insight into artforms or genres visitors may perhaps not engage with on a regular basis, and to offer an insight into the creative process of the featured artists that month
Featured performers have included BBC Wales' Roy Noble, prominent Welsh artist Kevin Sinnott and many more
