I chose this one because last night we went to watch Martyn Joseph perform and he sang the above as part of his set. He is a wonderful Welsh singer mixing up gentle sensitive songs with emotionally charged &#8220;protest songs&#8221;. His song &#8220;Cardiff Bay&#8221; is one of my all time favourites a lovely song about a father and his son. It always makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I always feel emotional listening to it. The venue was interesting it was at Woodchester Convent which is now a small concert venue where they film the performance. I would recommend going to a Gig there it is different!<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed this morning&#8217;s Gig for SP3. We hosted it in Frampton and the stories went down well. I was pleased with my &#8220;Flowers on the Beach&#8221; story. I am thinking of doing one of my own stories when have the village pub gig next month.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WSBC0011.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"474\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=474\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WSBC0011.jpg?fit=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1536\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"WSBC0011\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WSBC0011.jpg?fit=584%2C438&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-474\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WSBC0011-300x225.jpg?resize=43%2C15&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"WSBC0011\" width=\"43\" height=\"15\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/20161118_104436_resized.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1729\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=1729\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/20161118_104436_resized.jpg?fit=581%2C1031&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"581,1031\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20161118_104436_resized\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/20161118_104436_resized.jpg?fit=577%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1729\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/20161118_104436_resized.jpg?resize=169%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"20161118_104436_resized\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/20161118_104436_resized.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/20161118_104436_resized.jpg?resize=577%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 577w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/20161118_104436_resized.jpg?w=581&amp;ssl=1 581w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A &#8220;Boss&#8221; song title for today.
