About this Event

Join us as we welcome Will Hayward to the shop! He will be in conversation about his brand new book, Who Cares About Wales
“In my opinion, Will Hayward is unquestionably the finest independent journalist Wales has. He sees and shouts out the hard truth to wake up all those who are apathetic about our land. Who Cares About Wales? doesn’t tell you what to think, it equips you to build an informed opinion. It’s a fantastic book and so very easy to read and to understand... Carry this book with you. Look up the facts. Take control of your own life or somebody else will.” – Carol Vorderman MBE
“This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand Wales, and doesn’t shy away from the difficult questions now being asked about its future. Written with clarity and insight, it offers a timely contribution to the national conversation.” – Rob Osborne, National Correspondent at ITV Cymru Wales
“You will close Will's book feeling informed, enraged and inspired. A compelling and straightforward must-read for anyone who cares about the future of Wales and politics.” – Kiri Pritchard-McLean, multi-award-winning comedian, satirist and writer
“Will Hayward has penned not a party-political polemic, but a passionate rallying cry against apathy, urging the Welsh dragon to roar.” – Matt Chorley, BBC political journalist and TV and radio presenter “Will Hayward is extremely knowledgeable and insightful about Wales today, and he asks the difficult questions” – Katharine Viner, Editor-in-Chief, The Guardian
“At last Welsh politicians have a journalist to fear and voters a commentator to respect – intelligent, forensic and persistent. Above all, Will cares and cannot believe – having adopted Wales – how little we’ve settled for. Read this and you’ll have no doubt we should demand better.” – Guto Harri, broadcaster, writer and strategic communications consultant
“Everyone in Wales should read this book. Will Hayward has written a wake-up call to a nation. It distils years of his determination to understand what’s happening in some of the most troubled corners of our land into a passionate plea to Wales to recognise itself – and to act.” – David James. Editor-in-Chief, Western Mail & WalesOnline
