Although the village is quite small, with about 2,000 inhabitants, we have made a big impression on the world arts scene with people like Alun Lewis, the war poet and the Stereophonics, one of Britain’s major rock groups.
 Alun Lewis
Postscript for Gweno
If I should go away,
Beloved, do not say
'He has forgotten me'.
For you abide, a singing now within my dreaming side;
You always stay.
And in the mad tormented valley
Where blood and hunger rally
And Death the wild beast is uncaught, untamed,
Our soul withstands the terror
And has its quiet honour
Among the glittering stars your voices named.
 Stereophonics
A Minute Longer
They're calling out,
come on let’s go
but I'm miles away
to a year before.
Laughs from a glass
drank to the past
on the old green seat
like velvet to the hand.
Think I'd like to stay a minute longer.
Would you like to stay a minute longer?
Last one for some
sick from the rum.
I play golf on the carpet with someone.
Crash back to date.
Few things I hate.
But I'd rather us live
in the present day.
