his art for two years at Rookwood, before managing to land the position of Radio One D at the age of just 17. “It was the time in the nineties when Welsh talent was in big demand. The Stereophonics, the Manic Street Preachers and Catatonia were really leading the way for Wales. Bethan copresenter and I beat off the competition and there I was a Radio One D before I’d even left school. I even opened my A level results live onair. Ironically enough, my grades were B, B and C! “Looking back now, I can see the parallel between the things I was doing at that age and the things Dad was doing at the same age. He was taking an interest in championing local poets and here I was doing the same for local musicians. I still am!” Meic had put on poetry readings for local poets in his younger days. By 1967, he had become Literature Director of the Arts Council and was running Poetry Wales a magaine he edited for eight years. The high regard in which Meic is held within literary circles has come about through a devotion to his art. “Dad has worked hard all his life at what he does best, and for both of us, you could say that our work is a paid hobby.” says Huw. Today, Meic’s own book collection spills over into many rooms. His library is stacked wall to wall with books all of them in alphabetical order. “It’s all the result of a tidy mind placing each book in its rightful place gives me a sense of completion. I can

honestly say that I’ve read each and every one of these books too reading is so important.” Suddenly, Meic’s beaming face takes a more solemn tone. “Language is power illiteracy creates oppression. The fact that there is so much illiteracy nowadays concerns me. Reading gives people the language to think.”

Meic’s passion for collecting books is mirrored by Huw’s passion for collecting CDs. “Whereas Dad likes the idea of having something solid and tangible on his shelf, my collection is mostly unseen. A lot of my music collection is stored digitally maybe a sign of the same passions but in different generations.” says Huw. The parallels between father and son don’t stop there. “I used to collect stamps.” says Meic. “I now do the same with badges” says Huw. “I collect things like tickets stubs and wristbands nothing that has monetary value but means a lot to me. Dad collects literary postcards these days whenever I go away he asks me to pick some up.” It seems that success is something that runs in the Stephens family. Meic

continues to write. His latest novel, is based here in Whitchurch and Llandaff. “We have lived here in Whitchurch now since 1987, moving here from Rhiwbina. We have moved several times before settling in the house we are in now. Our ten grandchildren love the garden they treat it like their own personal park.” says Meic chuckling. Huw’s musical commitments mean that he away from the family home a lot.

“I do get back to Whitchurch often, despite having to travel a lot with my job. Most of my time is spent programming my radio shows and listening to new music but it’s nice to keep such a close bond with the family.” Huw continues to champion local musical talent. His Sŵn Festival enters its third year this October. “We have artists performing in both Welsh and nglish a bit like Dad’s poetry readings back in the ‘60s I guess.” says Huw. “On reflection, we’ve both been doing the same thing with our lives just in a different generation and through a different medium.”
