It's Saturday night, Wales are playing to a packed Principality Stadium and just a mile down the road Rhosllannerchrugogs most famous son has packed a full house at The Wales Millennium Centre. Venues which have both been very important in the career of Stifyn Parri. For it was he that orchestrated the Ryder Cup Concert that brought icons like Bassey and Zeta Jones to the Stadium to celebrate the prestigious golfing tournament and it was he that also put on the Millennium Centres opening Extravaganza.
I doubt many were surprised by the success of Stifyn Parri least of all himself. When he recalls stories from his childhood and his early performances it's clear the boy was meant to be seen and most certainly heard. 'Shut Your Mouth' is a hilarious and sometimes touching journey through the life of Stifyn Parri, filled with anecdotes from a man whose rubbed shoulders with everyone from Bonnie Tyler to The Prince Of Wales. Packed with gossip but told with fondness and love for for the people he's met along the way with the exception of maybe Lempit Opik, he's not a fan!
It's an extraordinary insight into fame from a man who is the definition of the saying 'Jack Of All Trades' but it seems he's mastered them all. His story telling will cover everything from his illustrious career from West End star to playing Christopher Duncan in Brookside. I got the feeling he could have talked all night and nobody would have stopped him.
