  • Braids of Song Gwead Y Gân
    Braids of Song Gwead y Gân by Mari Morgan BMus (Hons), MA. Supervised by: Professor Menna Elfyn and Dr Jeni Williams Submitted in partial fulfilment for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Creative Writing University of Wales Trinity Saint David 2019 Er cof am fy nhad, Y Parchedig E D Morgan a ddiogelodd drysor. In memory of my father, the Reverend E D Morgan who preserved a treasure. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS With grateful thanks for the generous support of: North America Wales Foundation (Dr Philip Davies and Hefina Phillips) Welsh Women’s Clubs of America (Barbara Crysler) Welsh Society of Philadelphia (Jack R. Williams, Jr.) Diolch o galon: for the experience and guidance of my supervisors, Professor Menna Elfyn and Dr Jeni Williams, for the friendship and encouragement of Karen Rice, for my siblings always, Nest ac Arwel, for the love and steadfast support of Lisa E Hopkins, and for the unconditional love of my mother, Thelma Morgan. Diolch am fod yn gefn. iv Abstract The desire to recognise the richness, humanity, and cross fertilisation of cultures and identities that built today’s America is the starting point for Braids of Song. Its overarching concerns trace the interrelation between immigration, identity and creativity within a Welsh Trans-Atlantic context. Braids of Song is a mixed-genre collection of stories that acknowledges the preciousness of culture; in particular, the music, which is both able to cross different linguistic boundaries and to breach those between melody and language itself. The stories are shared through four intertwined narrative strands in a mixture of literary styles, ranging from creative non-fiction essays and poems to dramatic monologues.

It’s where the world’s first million pound deal was struck during the city’s industrial heyday (equivalent to over £100m today). Yet far from cherishing this building, Cardiff council proposes to demolish the main body of the building, keeping only the facades. If this happens, then the magnificent interior with its immense historical significance will be lost forever. This grade 2* listed building deserves better, and the views of the public need to be heard. The Council have been claiming for the past year that it is on the point of collapse. No works have been done, yet there is no apparent evidence that the building is about to collapse. It is questioned if Cardiff Council were able to use section 78 powers under the building act to progress their plans, and this needs to be investigated openly. So much of Cardiff Bay’s social and built heritage has already been destroyed; it seems inconceivable that more can be cast aside with cynical abandon. It’s unclear why the council refuses to see the value of restoring the Coal Exchange to protect this iconic building for the use and enjoyment of future generations.

Furthermore, cultural activities or experiences rarely fail to touch or enhance every visitor’s experience. This document sets out a strategic framework for action by both the Board and our partners to develop Wales’ potential as a cultural tourism destination. Our vision is for Wales to be recognised internationally as a destination offering a quality cultural tourism experience based on our unique culture which forms an essential part of the overall visitor experience.
