Buzz is South Wales’ leading free monthly entertainment magazine, and has been for 18 years. Covering Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, the Valleys, Gwent and West Glamorgan, Buzz is the definitive guide to what’s on and happening in art, theatre, music, clubs, fashion and sport.
25,000 copies of Buzz are distributed every month to all key information centres, hotels, clubs, bars, restaurants, museums, theatres, galleries, record stores and universities.
Buzz online is the web side of buzz magazine. It features anything that was too late to make it into the magazine, as well as more comment and review on South Wales culture from our team of bloggers.
Distribution is mapped out in the sidebar. A list of everywhere we distribute to can be found here.
Buzz is…
Publisher: Emma Clark
Emma started Buzz 18 years ago, and after raising the magazine to the upper echelons where it now resides, she can be found on a daily basis faffing about with her chickens, dog, allotment and Vietnamese pot bellied pigs. In between planting tomatoes and dog-walking, she maintains the overall running of the magazine and develops the Buzz media training.
Editor: Ben Bryant
Ben joined Buzz in September 2009, straight after pouring his soul into a couple of student publications. He puts together the magazine every month, and also built this site. When he’s not flinging his thoughts at whoever will listen he can be found immersed in the icy waters of South Wales.
Music/Listings Editor: Noel Gardner
Noel is the Listings Editor at Buzz which involves collating all the events happening in South Wales each month and shuffling them about until they turn up at the back of the magazine. He’s also the Music Editor which involves giving CDs to writers to review, and upcoming gigs to writers to preview, and crossing his fingers that they write something like he would have written.
Advertising: Angharad Brown
Angharad was so panicked at the prospect of writing this brief biography that she relinquished control of it to another member of the Buzz team, which essentially gives them carte blanche to write whatever they want. However, in the pursuit of journalistic excellence this writer will stick to the cold, hard facts; Angharad can mainly be found doing several hundred things at once, including climbing into large boxes and contributing to the world’s largest elastic band ball.
Designer: Gillian Herbert
She’s smashing.
Bloggers:
Paul Jenkins writes a column and contributes regularly to the magazine.
Paul Jenkins is old enough to know better. He comes from Kent via a childhood in Llanddewi Brefi. This isn’t a metaphor. After a life of being fired from tedious McJobs he decided to write for a living, getting a first in a Creative Writing degree and going on to write all manner of rubbish for all manner of people. He drinks.
