I really hope that stories like those of J. Alexander will be taught in schools along with other aspects of Welsh history. We need to acknowledge it all. (3/3)

[Manon Steffan Ros @ManonSteffanRos]

In his own words, "I came to England in a Welsh ship, and now I can speak, I can write, I can read, and I can sing in Welsh..." He made his living in the UK as a singer, referred to as a "living curiosity" because he was a talented tenor that wasn't white. (2/3)

[Manon Steffan Ros @ManonSteffanRos]

So much untold Welsh history. Like this story I found in Liverpool and Slavery by Dicky Sam (1884). J. Alexander was brought from the West Indies to Liverpool as a youth, on a ship whose captain was a Welsh speaker. (1/3)

I'm really looking forward to the premiere of my energetic new piece, Metal Tapestry which will be performed at @TungAuditorium on 26th October!

[Dancin' Dan in Movieland @dancindanonfilm]

Perfectly balanced between classical and contemporary, CHEVALIER sheds light on the forgotten musician/composer Joseph Bologne in high style. Kelvin Harrison Jr. continues to amaze in this consistently surprising period piece. Lucy Boynton a delicious Marie Antoinette. #TIFF22

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

Kelvin Harrison Jr. is receiving critical acclaim for his performance in Stephen Williams’ ‘Chevalier,’ which recently premiered at #TIFF22.
