So audiences go round on the traditional heritage trail but suddenly they\u2019ll encounter a person who will tell their own story.<br \/>\n\u201cPeople love it, it tends to be fully booked; they can\u2019t take huge numbers but people really do get into it, enjoying the stories and a chance to experience the fascinating narrative of this unique space.\u201d<br \/>\nThe first event, which took place last week, began with members of the band Wonderbrass performing an original piece of music in the cemetery\u2019s restored Victorian Gothic chapel.<br \/>\nThe tour included a story from the Senghenydd disaster told in the rain beside a pauper\u2019s grave, a tale of the Irish Famine told in verse next to a monument to those who moved to Cardiff to escape the blight and the exploits of a spy during World War Two who worked with the French resistance.<br \/>\nActor Owain Muller, 22, played Ernest Willows, an inventor who flew from London to Paris in his self-built airship named City of Cardiff.<br \/>\nMr Mullar said: \u201cPerforming in the actual space is a lot more potent than doing something on the stage because you\u2019re constantly prompted by having the grave right there next to you. You look at it and it&#8217;s easy to remember the lines &#8211; basically don\u2019t mess it up otherwise he won&#8217;t be happy with you.\u201d<br \/>\nPaul Jones, 59, a trustee of the Friends of Cathays Cemetery said: \u201cIt was very entertaining. It\u2019s an ideal way of bringing the information across to people, I\u2019ve learned a lot from today.<br \/>\nPlease visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/cathays-cemetery-heritage-walk-graveyard-voices-tickets-18734247639?aff=eac2\">Eventbrite booking website<\/a> to reserve free places on the upcoming Graveyard Voices walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE stories of those buried in Cathays cemetery are being brought to life on a unique tour.
