SHIRLEY'S MOON from SWEET SOLACE by Huw Parsons and Friends
SHIRLEY’S MOON: Words and Voice -Huw. Guitar and Bass - David Cooper Orton.
Here’s our tribute to Shirley Bassey, that Cardiff diva who hit the big time. I mention Butetown and Splott in this piece, as both are places where Shirley lived as a girl. They are a far cry from her present sumptuous home in Monte Carlo, but the moon's the same wherever you see it.

Huw Parsons was born in 1954, grew up in Llyswen, near Hay on Wye, and educated at Brecon Boys’ Grammar School and Chelsea College of Art.
He feels neither wholly English nor particularly Welsh, with his life’s diversity a social impostor and a cultural chameleon.
His influences: the poems of John Betjeman & Phillip Larkin, the novels of Leslie Thomas, the song lyrics of Sting & Jake Thackray.
