It’s only a month to go before the Great Welsh Beer & Cider Festival opens its doors to the thirsty public of South Wales.
The Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, formerly the Cardiff International Arena (CIA), will be transformed into Wales’ biggest pub for this three-day event.
Entertainment line up:
Thursday will be a quiet day.
Friday will see the Champion Beer of Wales announcement at 3pm, followed by Cardiff Morris Dancers.
Friday night will have Still got the Blues – a Four Piece band from Pontypool, formed in 2007 from members of the Borough Blues Club. They have played at Pontypool ‘Jazz in the Park’ and other local festivals.
“If you want a bit of Blues, with a bit of classic rock thrown in, then come and see us, and get a smile on your face, and some rhythm in your toes!”
Saturday
Lunchtime – The ever popular Cardiff Arms Park Male Choir will be performing.
Dansette will be returning in the evening
“Dansette are a horn-driven eight piece band who play an authentic mix of 60’s Soul standards from the Stax/Atlantic/Motown stables. If you want to think Blues Brothers and Commitments you’ll be half right, but we don’t stop there, we’ll take you on a Soul Journey through that golden era that you just won’t want to end. Dancing shoes are optional but enjoyment is guaranteed!”
