New Projects
Mark is currently developing a series of musical storybooks- combining original songs with storybook videos and later, hard copy books.
Mark has already created in partnership with kidswatchtv a storybook version of one of his most loved songs (Guto Nyth Brân) and is currectly working on more for children including the stories of Rhys and Meinir, the tale of a young couple and their tragic love for each other, of Saint Dwynwen, patron saint of Welsh Lovers, and ‘No Bears Today’. Plus for adults, ‘Five Thousand Miles Away From Home’ - living with Alzheimer's and other tales of love, delight, destitution and woe.

’He’s singing to Me!’
'A happy Tom Waits!’
‘Looks like Hulk Hogan with a voice like a Richard Burton who can sing!’
