Celebrating Creativity in Older Age


Ian McMillan at St. Donats Arts Centre

A familiar voice on BBC Radio 3, Ian McMillan visited the St. Donats Arts Centre as part of the gwanwyn festival's 'Looking Over the Hill' project. Ian was on fine form and had the audience in hysterics as he effortlessly blended humour with his own poetry and submissions from older people across Wales.
