Brian Davies

It is with great sadness that I have to announce Brian's death on June 6th 2019 aged 57. He was a dedicated prize-winning film maker and this led to appearances in a number of television shows, including S4C's 'Arolwg', HTV Wales' 'Heno', Yorkshire TV's 'The James Whale Radio Show', and LWT's 'Whale On'. His most recent film Method employed the talents of members of the Ucheldre Repertory Company. He was a founder member of the Rep and is acutely missed by his family, friends, fellow performers, and back stage personnel. He was a naturally gifted actor whose appearances on stage and screen were always memorable. Who will ever forget his playing in Macbeth, The Dresser, and Woman in a Dressing Gown? I think it is fair to say that a light has gone out in all our lives.

He went on to produce another eight movies between 1984 and 1992 before taking a break from film-making to concentrate on learning more about his other passion, theatre. He spent many years learning about stage craft, he became a part of a number of theatrical groups including R.A.D.S (The Rhosneigr Amateur Dramatic Society), The Holyhead Theatre Club and The Ucheldre Repertory Company.
