James And Sir Kyffin Williams

Whilst browsing on highbeam.com came across an article about James driving up to Anglesey with Mylene to actually meet Sir Kyffin Williams. Mylene had wanted to buy James a drawing by the artist when they got married in 2004 but instead bought him a proper painting.(Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaw! I'm quite an arty person so gold star for that Mrs B!). Yeah, they visited Kyffin Williams and he was saying how pleased he was about having a song being written about him. Also said he was suprised that someone like James would be interested in his art! Bless! Have saved the article so might try and put the whole thing up. To read it in full on highbeam.com you can get a free 7 day trial but you have to give card details. Just thought that was interesting. And does it also mean that James can actually drive? The plot thickens.......................................... ...........

I'm just getting a load of crap coming up at the moment and I've saved loads of articles so that will be loads of crap then and not the actual articles. Damn.

That's really sweet. My Great Aunt was very good friends with Kyffin, but I never managed to get around to telling her to tell him about James' song .

Glad James got the chance to meet him before he died. Anyone know the date Sir Kyffin sadly passed away? I forgot to check the date on the article.

No, Pontypool in Torfaen. (I think it is classed under Torfaen these days. Might be wrong though!)
