A (Very) Rough Guide to Machynlleth

Archived show

This show is from a previous year's festival

“The ancient capital of Wales” it says on the signs. Really? So should we all storm Cardiff and demand it back? Machynlleth-based writer and broadcaster Mike Parker gives us an armchair tour of our host town, calling at Hippy Central, Mispronunciation Parkway and Inebriation Junction.

Mike is the author of Map Addict, the best-selling billet doux to the Ordnance Survey; The Wild Rover, a celebration of the humble British footpath; the cult classic Neighbours From Hell?, about the attitudes of the English to Wales and the Welsh; Real Powys, a passionate psychogeography of Wales’ empty quarter; and the Rough Guide to Wales. The real one. I’ve written and presented my own series on Radio 4, Radio Wales and ITV Wales.

You need to be 16 or over to attend this event.
