Al Lewis shares new single ahead of Wales-wide train tour

Stephen Price

Al Lewis has shared his latest single ‘Train Song’ today, ahead of his exciting musical tour of Wales by train.

The song is Al’s interpretation of a song originally written and released by legendary folk artist Vashti Bunyan as a single in 1966.

Appearing on this record as well as Al is the world-renowned harpist Catrin Finch and the multi-talented musician Patrick Rimes (violin and harmonium) with support from CJ Jones on drums and Iestyn Jones on double bass.

The single is a preview of what can be expected on Al’s upcoming tour in partnership with Transport for Wales, which will see Al visit towns and cities all along Wales’s stunning rail network.

New (old) approach

With 2025 being the 200th anniversary of the modern railway; travelling by rail, Al will not only experience new parts of the country but also practise a more environmental and social approach to touring and show how musicians can do their bit to help reduce our combined carbon footprint.

Bringing his blend of Welsh and English language music to captivating locations such as the Hercules Hall at Portmeirion and the stunning St Tudno’s Church atop of the Great Orme in Llandudno.

The tour follows on from Al’s hugely successful series of shows over the Christmas period which saw him sell out venues across Wales from Galeri in Caernarfon to two-nights’ at St John’s Church in Cardiff.

Al’s most recent album ‘Fifteen Years’ received significant airplay and widespread critical acclaim across the BBC network and from stations and publications across Europe and the US.
