The Cerys by Candlelight tour will roll into town and snuggle down in the Chapel Arts Centre tonight for two festive feasts of music, poetry, and the purely unexpected that makes each and every Cerys Matthews live show a unique experience.
The former Catatonia singer scored massive hits including You've Got A Lot To Answer For, Mulder and Scully and Road Rage with Welsh indie-pop outfit.
Her talents have since emerged in her successful solo albums, ranging from Cock A Hoop, recorded in Nashville in 2003, through to 2009's Don't Look Down and the more recent Explorer (2011).
We must also mention the beautiful Welsh language album TIR (2010), with its wonderful renditions of classic folk songs dear to her heart, complete with a booklet filled with the detailed background to the songs.
It is one of the best-selling Welsh language albums, with most of those sales arising outside of the homeland.
Cerys loves seeking out the magic not just in music, but in the written word.
Following on from her first children's book Tales From The Deep, published in 2011, she re-states her love of 'the word' in her debut book for Penguin about the history of children's song (riddled with pages of singalong guides) which will see the light next Easter, before she embarks on a number of projects around her all-time favourite, Dylan Thomas.
In the meantime, we have a new album Baby, It's Cold Outside (2012), featuring 15 winter faves, sung with great gusto and humour, two qualities that no doubt Cerys will be looking for when she visits Bath. Be warned, you will have little option but to sing along.
She will present tracks from her new album Baby, It's Cold Outside which features 15 winter favourites all sung with great gusto and humour.
