The Green Room Podcast Josephine's Rain (2018 remix)
‘Josephine’s Rain’ is a thirty minute evocation of a storm that damaged Porthcawl in 1995. Tropical storm ‘Josephine’ was close to hurricane status, sinking boats and destroying part of the seafront.
Performed and written by Robert Minhinnick, Richard Thomas & Peter Morgan.
Josephine’s Rain has been performed at many events over the years; some hosted by the Green Room.
A video version is available on our YouTube channel.
“In a recent film for ‘Sustainable Wales’ I say that Babylon fell because of social inequality and that our culture is threatened by the same thing. That’s not to mention ‘climate change’ at all. But I’ve written the words for ‘Josephine’s Rain’, a depiction of a storm that hit Porthcawl in the 1990s. It evokes a hurricane and is bloody loud, with guitar, keyboard, percussion. In the last performance we had an artist on stage creating a painting during the thirty minute performance. Very 1960s.”
