Rugby and Music


This young boy epitomizes our Welsh ambivalent love for both rugby and music. This place, Pant-y-Wean, was once, in the 1930s, voted the most Beautiful Village in South Wales, but it has long since been obliterated by opencast mining. When I asked what he was doing, he replied, "My mother gave it to me to mend."  Photograph & Text: Philip Jones Griffiths. 1961
