Audiences have been raving about “The Worst Bad Guys in Welsh History” events being held in venues across Wales through 2026. An entertaining evening that combines history discussion, storytelling and ancient folk music, to demonstrate the various routes through which we get our history. Join us as we take a lighthearted look at some of the worst behaviour ever recorded, from the villains, scoundrels and bad guys of Welsh history.
After performing to sell out crowds across south Wales throughout January 2026, historian, author and broadcaster Graham Loveluck-Edwards (off the telly!) is bringing these events, based on his new book “Scoundrels Cads and Vagabonds from Welsh History” to venues in West Wales, Mid Wales and the Borders. Suitable for all ages. Tickets for adults £12, and children under 12 go free.

These events are based on Graham Loveluck-Edwards’ latest book: Scoundrels cads and vagabonds from Welsh history.
A compilation of bad guys and horrible history from Wales. This is Graham Loveluck-Edwards’ fifth book on Welsh history and those who love his witty style and irreverent approach are in for a real treat in this rogues gallery of scoundrels and their scandalous behaviour. Everything from traitors to tyrants and from pirates and highwaymen to the bishops who bent the rules.
