Dylan and the Ferry

Available for over a year

New Generation Thinker and Bob Dylan fan Dafydd Mills Daniel, investigates the story behind the iconic image of Bob Dylan on the poster for the 2005 documentary 'No Direction Home' directed by Martin Scorsese. It's a black and white photo of Dylan on a small car ferry. The ferry was called The Severn Princess and it transported drivers across the River Severn, between England and Wales. Dylan was using the Aust Ferry to take his new electric guitar and sound into Wales. Dafydd returns to the actual scene of the photograph in the company of Tim Ryan and Sue Kingdom, who are running a campaign to preserve The Severn Princess, which is docked on a beach near Chepstow. He also talks to Richard F. Thomas, author of Why Dylan Matters, about the so-called "Judas Tour". Producer Stephen Hughes First broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in May 2022.
