Why Santa Might Kill You – Live Stage Shows in November and December 2026

What’s the show all about?

Author, historian and broadcaster; Graham Loveluck-Edwards brings you a series of talks on the horrible history of Christmas. Real history and genuine events but viewed through a light-hearted lens and presented in a humorous and entertaining way.

Discover how the character of “Father Christmas” was originally created to represent everything that was wrong with Christmas. How modern day Santa shares a lot of DNA with the Norse god; Odin and why the people of Dijon burned an effigy of Santa Clause in front of their Cathedral.

We will also be looking at some of the more bizarre traditions associated with the festive and mid-winter season. Everything from the Mari Lwyd to the rather terrifying “Krampus”.

Is this suitable for children?

It depends if they believe in Santa or not. If they still do, I would hate to be the one to burst their bubble. Especially in the run up to the big day. However, beyond that, there is no content that is likely to offend, embarrass or frighten them. And anyway, they get in for half price so win-win.

Is there a book I can buy that compliments this show?

Absolutely there is. They will be on sale at all venues along with other merchandise. I will be happy to sign a copy for you at the end of the show.

Welsh May Day Traditions: Fire, Magic & Mischief

Here in Wales, this time of year brings a whole bundle of traditions, superstitions and rituals linked to May Day. Many are said to reach back into the distant past, to the old pagan fire festivals that marked the changing of the seasons. Others may be a little less ancientโ€”perhaps polished, or even invented, during the Victorian era, when people developed a real appetite for folklore, the gothic and the mysterious. Itโ€™s not always easy to tell which is which.

Either way, these customs have stuck. Strange as they may seem in our modern, orderly world, they offer something comforting. They connect us to those who came before us, and to the landscape itself. However you choose to interpret them, they are all part of the rich tapestry of Welsh cultural life.

One of the most striking traditions is known as Bรขltan (or Beltane). At its heart was a great bonfire, around which the community would gather. The name itself hints at ancient origins. It is linked to Belenus, or Bรชl, a Celtic sun god believed to strengthen the sunโ€™s warmth as summer approached.

Bowl dedicated to Belenus

According to the Victorian folklorist Marie Trevelyan, the ritual was wonderfully elaborate. Nine men would begin by turning out their pockets, proving they carried no metal. They would then head into the woods to collect sticks from nine different types of tree. These were laid carefully in a prepared circle, stacked crosswise. The fire itself was lit the old way, by rubbing together two pieces of oak.

Once the flames took hold, the real fun began. People leapt over the fire in displays of bravery (or recklessness), and oatmeal cakes were eaten. The fire was also believed to cleanse and protect. Anything that had brought bad luck during the winter might be thrown into the flames, in the hope of a fresh start.

Even the ashes had their uses. It was said that placing cooled embers from the Beltane fire in your shoes would bring good fortune for the coming year. Whether that made for lucky feet or just uncomfortable walking is another question.

These events were once common across south Wales. Records place them at the Castle Ditches in Llantwit Major, on Newton Green in Porthcawl, at Nash Manor and in Cowbridge, continuing well into the early 19th century before fading from popularity.

Llantwit Major also had its own dramatic twist on the tradition. An effigy known as โ€œOโ€™Neilโ€ was burned on the fire, much like a Guy Fawkes figure in November. As with all good traditions, there is a story behind it.

According to local lore, Oโ€™Neil was a notorious pirate who terrorised the area. He met his end thanks to a clever trap. The maidens of Llantwit supposedly lured him ashore at Colhugh beach, dancing to catch his eye. When he landed, he was ambushed by local men, captured, and burned. The annual burning of his effigy was said to mark the eventโ€”though one suspects the tale may have grown a little in the telling.

Pre-Christian Traditions or Victorian Romantic Inventions?

May Day was not all fire and drama, however. It was also a time for romance. Maypole Dances and gatherings gave young people the chance to catch each otherโ€™s eye. Some gestures were subtle. Others were not. One tradition saw young men decorating a branch of rosemary with white ribbons and placing it at the window of a girl they admired. A bold moveโ€”and one that left little room for misunderstanding.

So, whether itโ€™s leaping through flames, burning pirates in effigy, or leaving herbs on windowsills, May Day in Wales has never been short on character. It is a reminder that, not so long ago, the arrival of summer was something to be marked properly. With fire, flair, and just a touch of mischief.

New film about the Great Flood of 1607.

It was 9am on 30th January 1607, and the people of south Wales and the south west of England were going about their business as usual. Completely unaware of the horror that was approaching at a rate of knots.

Contemporary accounts describe what the people of places like Cardiff, Newport, Burnham-on-Sea and Ilfracombe saw that fateful morning when they looked out across the Bristol Channel. “A wall of water that did shut out even the sun”.

What was worse, this watery leviathan was fast moving. “No man could outrun it, even if riding on a galloping horse”. Over 2,000 people lost their lives that day. Thousands more died from the aftermath as famine set in. All the livestock had been drowned, top soil had been washed away and salt water contaminated the soil so no crops could grow for years afterwards. Even fresh drinking water became scarce as sea water had contaminated all the wells.

Pretty dramatic stuff I’m sure you would agree, and a story that needs to be told. So I have been planning on making a film about this event for some time.

Why this event?

I lived for many years in the pretty little village of Redwick on the Gwent Levels in Monmouthshire. A place which was wiped out at the time and has a marker on the church walls which shows how high the standing flood water was after the initial wave had gone. So, I was already aware of the event the history books call “The Great Flood”. My knowledge however was quite scant so I knew I needed to do some serious research to do it justice. Once I started pulling the various strands of research together however, I realised that this task was way too big for me to undertake on my own. So I reached out to various experts. Many in fields you would not associate with a history piece.

Archivists, meteorologists, geologists, geographers and even volcanologists all played their part in the making of this film. I learned so much more from doing this project than I ever could have imagined.

My Objectives With This Film

There were a few things I was particularly keen to do with this film.

The first was to make sure that proper emphasis was put on the price paid by the people and communities of south Wales. When I saw that Channel 5 had made a documentary called “The Killer Wave” about the event I was really interested. But was so dissapointed when I watched it to discover that it focussed entirely on the town of Barnstaple with hardly a mention of the impact on the south Wales coast. So to redress the balance my film focusses predominantly on places in Glamorgan and Monmouthshire. Barnstaple gets mentioned once.

Nothing personal – just that you’ve had your film. Now its our turn.

I also wanted to fill in some gaps in the history books. In additions to the loss of lives, livestock and property, significant buildings were lost that have never been replaced. Entire communities had to be rebuilt as 24 parishes had been lost to the waters. Also a rash of ports mysteriously disappeared around this time. I wanted to verify what was lost because of the flood and what was lost to other events (because as you will learn from this film, there were others).

Finally, I wanted to recreate some of the key events. I know not everyone is a fan of AI, but it is so much cheaper and easier to work with than CGI. So I used it to do some re-enactments and reconstructions to give a visual account of what happened.

Anyway, enough of me rambling on. The film is now done. It is 30 minutes long and it is available to watch on my YouTube channel. Please like and subscribe as the cool kids say.

To watch it from this page, simply click the image below to watch in full.

And who knows. May be we’ll feature some of these destinations in the forth coming Glamorgan History Walks programme?

Traditions of a Welsh Christmas

The Mari Lwyd

Wales has a raft of very distinct and unique traditions associated with Christmas and the new year.

I have made the little video below to illustrate what makes a traditional Welsh Christmas different from any other. And to make life easier, below I have added explanations of what you are looking at in each sequence:

Opening scenes: When I was growing up, the site of wild horses and loose sheep wandering through the streets of rural villages was a common one. I could not make a video about traditional Wales without including a couple.

  • Week before Christmas: Busy traffic in Cardiff City Centre passes under bright and gaudy decorations, the stalls in Cardiff Market are bustling with last minute shoppers. And now is the time for the obligatory visit to Santaโ€™s grotto in Howells. Whether you like it or not.
  • The Plygain is a uniquely atmospheric carol service held just before their sun rises on Christmas Day. Usually between 4 and 6am. The local chapel would be flooded with candlelight and villagers would gather to sing carols in close harmony, unaccompanied. I am delighted to hear that there are still some places where this happens regularly.
  • Hunting the wren: OK. I grant you, this one is a bit weird. On Boxing Day (the feast of St Steven) a wren is killed and put in a box which is decked out with ribbons and leaves. Then a brigade of men parade from house to house โ€œwassailingโ€. For the uninitiated, wassailing is part carol singing and part merrymaking and dancing. In some communities people used to dress up, play instruments, sing and dance as they went from house to house, either for money, or more usually, free beer from the householder. There are similar traditions on the Isle of Mann and Ireland.
  • Holming: If you thought killing a wren wasnโ€™t particularly PC, brace yourself. In the earliest accounts of this tradition it was customary for the last maiden in the house to rouse from their beds on St Stevens Day to be beaten with holly until they bleed. It was believed to bring all parties good luck. In more recent history itโ€™s just been a license for children to shame their parents for over indulging on Christmas Day. As if a hangover were not enough.
  • Calennig: A nice new year custom. Children would carry decorated apples (or oranges if they were a bit flash) from door to door and sing in exchange for money or sweets.
  • Mari Lwyd: The Mari Lwyd has seen a huge resurgence in popularity in recent years. Itโ€™s one of those weird and wonderful things that plays well on social media. If you are not familiar, itโ€™s an ancient new year ritual. A horses skull bedecked with ribbons and sometimes jewels is carried on a pole by a man under a sheet from house to house. His company knock on each door to demand entry, but every householder refuses entry, so a battle of wits ensues. Known as โ€œpwncoโ€, it is an early form of rap battle. Protagonists on either side of the door set riddles and rhymes until the householder relents and lets them all in to gorge themselves on as much food and drink as the householder can offer. In case youโ€™re wondering, Mari Lwyd means grey mare.

Many people believe that this tradition has its origins in the ancient worship of a pagan horse god, others in the enactment of medieval mummer plays. Written references to it prior to the 19th Century are pretty thin on the ground and there are similar traditions associated with mid summer in Cornwall and Cumbria, so in truth, no one really knows where it originates.ย 

So there you are. Some unique and wonderful ways to celebrate Christmas and the new year from the people of Wales. Nadolig Llawen.

#Chritsmas #Wales #folkore

Calennig is a lovely new year tradition where children carry decorated apples and oranges and go singing from house to house

If you are interested I have designed a rather snazzy Mari Lwyd T shirt with the ballad of the Mari lwyd written on the back (available in english or Welsh and in a range of colours and sizes. Follow the link below:

Bridgend through time

This Video of old Bridgend has been made by animating old photographs taken between 1880 and 1950 in the town centre.

Everyone I know whoโ€™s from Bridgend says the town is nothing like it used to be. So in case you were curious, here is a video showing what it used to be like. Have you ever wished you could step back in time,  just to have a look around? Now, thanks to modern AI, we can do exactly that. 

I realise that some of these landmarks have changed a lot down the years, so here is what you are looking at, in each clip:

  1. Yr Hen Bont (the Old Bridgend). The 15thC bridge which the town owes its existence to
  2. Four scenes showing Dunraven Place and the Wyndham Hotel (now a Wetherspoons)
  3. Cart on Ewenny Road
  4. Bus on Adare Street
  5. The Castle Hotel and Nolton Street 
  6. The old town hall
  7. The clock on London House
  8. Two views from opposing directions of Dunraven Place
  9. The Rhiw market
  10. Couple of police at Waterton Cross
  11. Few more of London House
  12. St Johnโ€™s house hospice
  13. The cenotaph 
  14. Bridgend railway station
  15. Waving crowds in Adare Street

Old photos of Victorian Cardiff animated into life

Cardiff Castle south gate 1890

When I visit a city full of history like Cardiff, I often wish I could step back in time, just to have a look around and see it as it was in its hey day. Thanks to modern AI, we can now do exactly that and as 20th December 2025 marks 70 years since Cardiff was made capital city of Wales it seemed a fitting time to make this video.ย 

I have created it by using AI to animate a series of photographs taken at various points around Cardiff between 1880 -1909. I have seen these photos many times before but the injection of movement and human interaction really adds another dimension to them.

I realise that some of these landmarks have changed a lot down the years, so here is what you are looking at, in each clip:

  1. Trolley buses in front of Cardiff Castle. Note the โ€œAnimal Wallโ€ used to be there and not along Bute Park as it is today.
  2. Walking towards Canton Bridge looking up at Duke Street. Castle and clock tower in the back left
  3. Castle walls and clock tower strewn with ivy
  4. Castle South Gate, facing onto Duke Street and part of animal wall.
  5. An ivy covered Norman keep inside the castle
  6. The newly opened Westgate Street which follows the old course of the River Taff, after the land had been reclaimed by Brunel
  7. High Street, looking towards the castle
  8. The first ever edition of the South Wales Echo from 6th November 1880
  9. The Empire Theatre on Queen Street
  10. The old town hall which used to stand where Quay Street meets High Street
  11. Another view of the High Street, town hall on the left
  12. The Angel Hotel as it used to be
  13. Crowds gather outside a pub in Bute Terrace (a murder had just been committed inside).
  14. Queen Street
  15. Duke Street
  16. Four views of Cardiff Docksย 
  17. The Glamorgan Canal
  18. Cardiff Docks
  19. The old โ€™Tiger Bayโ€™
  20. Hospital ship
  21. Football fans at a Cardiff game
  22. Cardiff Intermediate Schools Team 1909

To watch the video just click on the image below…

Now that I’ve got the bug I fully intend to make a few more of these. Taking a retrospective wander down the streets of Welsh towns, cities and villages and breathing some life back into age old photographs.

Who were the worst bad guys in Welsh history? The most tyrannical rulers? The most blood thirsty outlaws? The most unscrupulous traitors?

As Graham Loveluck-Edwards (author of Historic Pubs of Wales) takes us on a light-hearted romp through this roguesโ€™ gallery of scandalous behaviour. Everything from medieval massacres to swashbuckling pirates. Even a few Kings of England thrown in for good measure. All viewed from the perspective of the people of Wales. We look at their antics and ask, โ€œdo they deserve their bad reputations?โ€

Just so you know, the answer is usually โ€œyes!โ€

โ€œGraham Loveluck-Edwards is an absolute legend. Heโ€™s got this unbelievably infectious passion for history, incredible knowledge, and beautiful hazel eyes. The Paul Hollywood of history.โ€

BAFTA award winning writer and actor Charlie Cooper

โ€œLoveluck-Edwardsโ€™ narrative style harkens back to fireside tales of old with the perfect balance of wickedness his devotees have come to love.

If your inappropriate pre-2000s history teacher had one or two sherries and wrote a book on Wales, this would be it.

I learned more than I expected to. I laughed more than I should haveโ€ฆโ€
