A year in pursuit of Welshness. Jasper Rees has always wanted to be Welsh. But despite Welsh grandparents (and a Welsh surname) he is an Englishman: by birth upbringing & temperament. In this singular hilarious love letter to a glorious country so often misunderstood Rees sets out to achieve his goal of becoming a Welshman by learning to sing play work worship think
- & above all speak
- like one. On the way he meets monks tenors & politicians & tries his hand at rugby & lambing
- all the while weaving together his personal story with Wales's rich history. Culminating in a nail-biting biting test of Rees' Welsh-speaking skill at the National Eisteddfod this exuberan journey of self-discovery celebrates the importance of national identity & the joy of belonging.
