Tornish

I always enjoy harp music, especially folk harp, so of course I went round to the Globe when I saw Tornish were playing there the other night.
One half of the pair of performers is Gwen, Scottish, but with Welsh roots too, so she was singing in Welsh as well as performing traditional Scottish music. Tim is the other half of the pair, and he's from Yorkshire, living near Cardiff, and plays flute and whistles and drums.
In the interval, I got talking to a lovely couple who were visiting the area. The chap said that what he loved about Hay was that everyone was friendly - people smiled at you - and there were all the little independent shops. "It must be a real community," he said.
They had only come along to the Globe at the last minute - they said they'd had a choice of Des O'Connor in Brecon and African drumming in Builth - but they weren't disappointed by harp and flute in Hay!
