STEVE EAVES - Festival Curtain Raiser

"It's a wonderful planet,
And we're here for a little while
And there's a place here tonight
Under August's moon
.

The 'here' in this case is the Pontardawe Festival bar. 'Tonight' is Thursday August 14th., festival eve, and the 'little while' is (roughly) from 8-11pm. And I'm hoping that Steve will forgive the artistic licence applied to his song September's Moon for the purposes of plugging a very special night.

Steve has been a star in the firmament of Welsh music for twenty years or more, renowned for his lyrics - sometimes thoughtful, often challenging - as much as his highly distinctive guitar style. Not surprising, really, when you consider that his music has grown organically from the poetry that first brought him to public attention back in the 1980s

“Fashions come and go, but the fine songs of Steve Eaves will last as long as good music is appreciated."
