The Flora, Cardiff
Saturday 10th June
Touring carnival scallywags Fiesta Bombarda are pitching up in the unassuming environs of the Flora pub in Cathays – still looking and feeling fresh after a much-needed renovation last year – for an all-dayer of hefty proportions, conveniently located within stumbling distance of bed if you live in and around Studentsville.
Heading up proceedings are Deekline [pictured] and Ed Solo, serving up platters of drum’n’bass, jungle and ragga on the outdoors stage until 10pm – we are slap-bang in residential territory after all, folks. Support comes from London’s Jurassik and local Shanti-Squire.
As soon as events outside are wrapped up, the interior of the pub plays host to a set from Fish (the Bristol-based purveyor of bass house rather than the singer of Kayleigh hitmakers Marillion, alas) who goes back-to-back with fellow sub-botherer Sherry S.
With all that meaty low end, it’s a good job the organisers have not one but two (count ‘em) Void Soundsystems to keep the fillings in your teeth rattling for the duration. And as we all know, pulling outrageous bass faces is hungry work, so the crew have got you covered with burgers, hot dogs and ribs on the barbeque all day. All of which sounds like the recipe for a grand old time. Or, indeed, indigestion.
Tickets: £10-£15. Info: 029 2115 1016 (KD)
