Big Chimney
Big Chimney
You can call this music old-timey, but good-timey is likely as appropriate when a top quality stringband get going – and Big Chimney, who hail from the Alaskan mountains, have earned themselves a strong rep through years of global touring. Fiddle, banjo, standup bass and guitar combine in the time-honoured Appalachian style.
Julian Clary
Julian Clary
This show is titled A Fistful Of Clary, thereby setting its target audience to people in their forties or older or who have read Julian Clary’s Wikipedia page, but it opens the door for the show to have a “Western theme” and the tour spiel to include jokes about chaps, Rawhide etc.

The Brick People
The Brick People
Six hours of Lego-related fun, where participants young and old can build models etc either competitively or otherwise. The Brick People are an events company from Surrey who arrange family shows, teambuilding days etc themed around Lego, which they are (contractually?) obliged to write as ‘LEGO®’ each time.
Girli
Girli
According to Buzz’s review archives, Amelia Toomey aka Girli played Cardiff six years to the day (as I write), prompting Jasper Wilkins to muse: “If she keeps up her current trajectory, Girli may well be the future.” The ascendency from Clwb Ifor Bach to the Globe is fairly minor, size-wise, so this maybe didn’t quite …

Sonny Tennet
Sonny Tennet
Every UK city now either has a singer-songwriter guy who tries to go viral and/or get sports broadcast theme music placement by singing about their locale, or is going to have one soon. Sam Fender arguably does this for Newcastle already, but a challenger has appeared in Sonny Tennet, who just released inspiringly titled single …

Comedy Club 4 Kids
Comedy Club 4 Kids
Mid-afternoon trio of comedians tailoring their sets for a youthful audience. Runi Talwar, from Sydney but London-based, headlines over musical funnywoman Katie Pritchard and South Shields’ Lee Kyle. They say that being able to adapt one’s repertoire to these sorts of shows is the real test of a comic’s chops. At least that sounds like …
The Misadventures Of Pinocchio
The Misadventures Of Pinocchio
Described as “an imaginative retelling of the classic fairytale”, the synopsis of this production by the Bohemians Theatre Company seems to list more differences than similarities. This Pinocchio is, in the words of the play’s subtitle, a ‘radical robot girl’ living in postapocalyptic Wales and on a quest to save the planet, singing a few …
Brujeria
Brujeria
Longrunning concept-metal extremists play what I think is their first ever Swansea show. With grindcore-y songs in Spanish about drug lords, serial killers etc Brujeria have featured several household names (by metal standards) over the years though Shane Embury of Napalm Death seems to be the only really head-turning one now.
