Mary Hopkin: These Are Her Days
Mary Hopkin is one of Walesβ most iconic voices. In this documentary, writer Nigel Crowle discusses Maryβs musical career, from her first hit, 55 years ago, to her current album.
In 1968, βThose Were The Daysβ reached Number 1 in the charts, propelling Mary Hopkin into the showbiz spotlight.
55 years on, Mary is still making music but very much on her own terms.
Presenter Nigel Crowle chats about Maryβs career with her daughter, and current musical collaborator, Jessica Lee Morgan.
Other contributors include musician Lesley Beynon, the teenage friend who was taught to play the guitar by Mary herself. Thereβs also an opportunity to listen to a mother-daughter chat between Mary and Jessica, tying in with the recent release of their current album of duets.
