Rock and Blues band Call Me Albert will be among the performers who are coming together for a benefit evening to raise money for Gwent Young People's Theatre at the Melville Theatre, Pen-y-Pound, Abergavenny on Friday 2nd May at 7.30PM.
Call Me Albert will be joined by published poets Ann Drysdale of Blaina, Chris Hall of Abergavenny, Jeff Rees of Blaenavon, Ric Hool of Blaina and former GYPT member Hywel Vaughan of Govilon, with drummer Paul Worthington doubling as a poet as well.
