Dylan festival set to inspire a generation
A NEW festival is aiming to deliver the work of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas to a new generation of Swansea people this November.
Do Not Go Gentle is said by organisers to have the full support of his grand-daughter Hannah Ellis, and will be delivered in venues around the city.
Conceived as a festival Dylan might have liked, the "eclectic mix of literature, music, comedy and visual art brings together established artists and up-and-coming talent" according to organisers.
The Do Not Go Gentle festival will be held on November 3 and 4.

“While the city centre is struggling, the Uplands area is going from strength to strength, with new bars, cafes and shops seemingly opening regularly. This festival can only be a further positive for the area, especially with the centenary of Dylan Thomas's birth approaching in 2012.”
