Towns, cities and regions, such as Monmouth have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune.
About Monmouth
Monmouth is a town in southeast Wales and traditional county town of the historic county of Monmouthshire. It is situated where the River Monnow meets the River Wye with bridges over both. Monmouth boasts a medieval 13th-century stone gated bridge at Monnow Bridge , unique in Britain as it is the only preserved bridge of its design remaining. There is also a long bridge over the River Wye. After centuries of waiting a second bridge over the Monnow was finally opened on March 15, 2004, thus allowing the old bridge to become pedestrianised. This project has, however, meant the demolition of the old cattle market, thus Monmouth is no longer the traditional market town it has traditionally been; however, a farmers' market selling local produce is still held.
