Holyhead manages to stage this powerful, highly acclaimed award-winning drama about the famous actor, singer and civil rights campaigner, Paul Robeson, before its performance in Carnegie Hall, New York.

An outspoken and radical critic of the establishment, he was summoned to appear before a Senate Committee on Un-American Activities where he gave the most difficult and important performance of his career.

The play is a roller coaster journey through Robeson's remarkable and eventful life, and highlights how his radical activism caused him to be disowned and disremembered, even by the leaders and descendants of the civil rights movement.

It features some of his famous songs and speeches, including a dramatic rendition of Ol' Man River.

‘A selection of music by French composers - Rita Jones’

The Ucheldre Music Club is directed by Marian Leeming and meets twice monthly on Mondays. Non-members welcome.

John Ireland's Sextet is both poetic and lyrical being music just predating the profound impact which the music of Stravinsky, Ravel and Debussy subsequently would have on him. 'Fachwen' by Dafydd Bullock draws its inspiration from the idyllic location near Llanberis with its stunning views of the Snowdonian mountain range. The performers then take us from the drama of Welsh mountains to the high drama of Weber's music. Weber's Quintet demonstrates its influences from the world of opera by virtue of the high degree of virtuosity and supremely expressive melodic lines. Mozart's Horn Quintet scored for 2 violins, 2 violas and cello has moments of Mozart at his best.

The Programme: Sextet (1898) - John Ireland
Horn Quintet, K.407 - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Clarinet Quintet in Bb major, Op. 34 - Carl Maria von Weber
Quartet No. 3("Fachwen"), Op. 107 - Dafydd Bullock
