The poetry hovers with the same force and vulnerability as the raptor, and its otherworldly, sometimes haunting, lyric reads as a reflection of the bird’s tenuous survival. Human intervention and its potential threat to the goshawk, whether through systematic use of the forest as a commodity or mindless, random acts of destruction, are never far away: ‘Snarl / Of the/Chainsaw / Reverberating / In the Belly’, and with the loggers comes the ‘Smell of oil / And pine needles / Pale grey feather / In a bed of twigs’ and then, for others’ recreation, ‘Fields / And trees / Put to the torch / A burnt out car / Last night’s / Bank Holiday fun’. Evans is a former frontman for Wales' premier punk band, The Tax Exiles, and as a solo artist recorded for legendary indie label 4AD. Now a writer and film-maker, he has been described as "the leading figure in the New Wave of Welsh writing". In the largest ever national poll he was voted number 27 in a list of "Welsh Heroes", "ahead of Dafydd ap Gwilym and behind only Dylan and RS Thomas of the poets". And in 2011, he was the artist chosen to represent the "cultural face" of Wales in Europe by Swiss airline company Helvetic Airways.

Keenan, Hugh T. “T(erence) H(anbury) White” in British Children's Writers, 1914–1960, ed. Donald R. Hettinga and Gary D. Schmidt, Gale Research, 1996. Terence Hanbury " Tim" White (29 May 1906 – 17 January 1964) was an English writer. He is best known for his Arthurian novels, which were published together in 1958 as The Once and Future King. One of his most memorable is the first of the series, The Sword in the Stone, which was published as a stand-alone book in 1938. The book was described by chair of children’s judges Gemma Hunt, a presenter on CBBC, as “totally unique and highly innovative”. “It’s an empowering, insightful tale that helps us all, at any age, understand and take ownership of the biggest threat of our lifetime,” she added. A newspaper in Wales once pointedly described the current state of Welsh literature in English and its self-appointed literary elite in this way: “The land where writers sit-down to be counted”. In addition to his writing and film-making, Evans has set up Raptor Watch, an organisation aimed to protect birds of prey in south WalesOur bar is filled with the JW Lees family of beers, including our seasonal cask range, plus firm favourites; MPA, JW Lees Bitter and Manchester Craft Lager.
