A Celtic Salute from Wales to the West of Scotland.
'What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?'
writes the Welsh poet, W. H. Davies. Celts understand the lure of what has been called the 'higher laziness', and their poets do not have' to warn them against 'Stop and all day long'.
Tonight Celts-and others-may adopt W. H. Davies' attitude to life, bnt we ask them on this occasion not to 'stand and stare', but to 'sit and listen'.

A Welsh Wayside Comedy in One Act
Specially written for the Microphone by John Oswald Francis.
Imagine you are looking at a country road running from left to right before your line of vision. In the background, trees in full summer foliage divide the road from a moor. It is eleven o'clock on a bright moonlight night.
Close to a roadside fire there are two old boxes; on one of these sits Twm Tinker, a vagrant poacher of, perhaps, forty-five. On the ground at his feet is a frying pan containing steak and onions. As he finishes his supper he soliloquizes, and almost immediately Dicky Bach Dwl is heard singing not far away.
