Original artwork description:

I spotted this committed street choir, singing their hearts out, on Oxford Street, Swansea. It was a very cold morning and the cold chill is expressed on the grey-pink hues on the main singer's face and hand. He is in full voice, however, undeterred by the cold.

The title "Bread of Heaven" comes from the hymn "Bread of Heaven", much loved here in Wales and even sung frequently at rugby matches,

"Guide me, O thou great Redeemer,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
Hold me with thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven
Feed me till I want no more.
Feed me till I want no more."
