Few entertainers epitomise the term 'national treasure' like Max Boyce.
From his humble early years touring the clubs of his native south Wales,
to his sell-out performances before thousands at some of the world's
most iconic venues, to British prime-time stardom, Max has firmly
cemented himself as one of these shores' most endearing comedians and
singers. A multitalented, charismatic artist, his words, infused with
Welsh lifeblood--mining, Valleys community life, rugby union--have lost
none of their potency, and continue to echo around pubs and stadium
terraces to this day. Compiling--in some instances for the first time in
print--the very best songs, poems, and stories from across his
celebrated career, Max: Hymns & Arias - The Selected Stories, Songs and
Poems of Max Boyce is the definitive selected work of a major cultural
figure, who through his inimitable humour, uniquely Welsh pathos, and
masterful wordcraft has defined a nation and its people for more than
half a century.
