July is looking like a busy month for local live music promoters Woodfired Summit, and what a diverse line up of artists they are bringing to our area. First up is award winning West End and Broadway star John Owen-Jones, perhaps best known for his portrayal of the character Jean Valjean in the ever popular musical Les Miserables, or as the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera. Among many other roles in his long and illustrious career.
John Owen-Jones appears at Clarence Hall (all seated show) in Crickhowell on Sunday July 7.
The Priory centre Abergavenny then sees legendary singer-songwriter Dean Friedman appear on July 25th with his celebrated one man show. Best known for his huge pop hits Lucky Stars, Lydia, Rocking Chair and Ariel, Friedman’s consummate songwriting and performing have earned him a loyal international following devoted to his sophisticated, funny and profound commitment to his craft.
