Politician Geraint Davies has personally invited Dylan to perform in Swansea
as part of a series of events to be held in 2014, but he doesn't just want the
folk rocker to show up and play his hits.
He explains, "I have asked Bob Dylan whether he would be prepared to give a
centenary concert in Swansea, in order that he could blend his music with Dylan
Thomas's poetry. Sony Music has come back and said that Mr. Dylan is thinking
very positively about the idea."
