ALLAN YN Y FAN

Steam Pie Presents: Allan Yn Y Fan - PWNCO TOUR

Allan Yn Y Fan is a multi-instrumental and vocal quintet as famed now for “their beautiful vocals” as for their “fiery instrumentals.”  On this tour Allan Yn Y Fan will be playing a selection of songs and tunes which make up their brand new album “Pwnco”.
This concert will feature the band’s interpretations of some further gems from the Welsh storehouse of traditional music and song along with a number of the band’s own compositions.  The title of this tour and the album comes from a new tune interpolated into one of the key songs on the album “Canu Cwnsela” which relates to the battle of wits played out within the Mari Lwyd tradition designed to reward the players with food and drink.

Allan Yn Y Fan will reward their audiences with a concert that will range from contemplative and moving songs of life and love to uproarious selections of jigs, reels and polkas.

“The most sensitive and experienced of Welsh bands…….the rate at which Allan Yn Y Fan has gone from being just another instrumental Celtic outfit to front-runners is nothing short of astonishing”  Simon Jones fROOTS magazine June 2011

SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN (12A)

Running time: 107mins
Director: Lasse Hallstrom
Cast: Ewan McGregor; Emily Blunt;Kristin Scott Thomas; Amr Waked
A romantic, contemporary fable, SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN is the tale of government employee Dr Alfred, or Fred, Jones (Ewan McGregor), a rather introverted scientist at the Department of Fisheries and Agriculture. Trudging along in his day job, with his marriage stagnating, his world is suddenly thrown into turmoil when he‘s drawn into a scheme hatched by a fly fishing–obsessed Yemeni Sheikh (Amr Waked) who dreams of achieving the seemingly impossible – introducing salmon to the wadis of the Yemen.
When the British government, desperate for a good news story in the area, gets wind of the Sheikh‘s plan, the Prime Minister‘s fearsome spokesperson, Patricia Maxwell (Kristin Scott Thomas), seizes on the idea – it‘s a good news story that will deflect attention away from the government‘s latest blunder. She appoints Fred to oversee the project, which pleases him not at all. For a logical, rather stuffy scientist like Fred, the idea of introducing salmon to the Yemen is one step short of madness.
Fred, however, is eventually won over by the charismatic Sheikh and his mystical worldview, while he also begins to fall for the Sheikh‘s representative, Harriet Chetwode–Talbot (Emily Blunt), a gentle and engaging English beauty who joins on him his journey into the Yemen. When Fred is drawn into helping Harriet try and fix the troubles in her life, he learns to cast off his deep–set cynicism. With Harriet‘s encouragement and support, Fred then rises to the Sheikh‘s eccentric challenge, and embarks upon a journey of self–discovery and late–blooming love.
