All Through the Night: A Welsh Western

All Through the Night stakes a claim to be the first ‘Welsh Western’ and suggests that cowboys were as much invented in Wales as in Wyoming.

This tale of Welsh drovers taking a large herd of cattle from the ‘wild west’ of North Wales to London in the 1790s and stakes a claim for these interesting characters to be the first cowboys. What happens in Westerns happened here to Welsh drovers on their cattle drives.

Running through this Welsh Western, with its personalities, adventures and incidents, the story incorporates cultural, emotional and human elements that make Westerns so appealing.

Written very much in the style of an old-fashioned Western, All Through the Night explores how people act in the drama of their own lives.
