Quo Fish
Quo Fish
Pearl Fish is a singer from the London folk scene whose name evokes the wonder of the oceans deep. Fellow Londoner Rob Quo is a bluesy solo musician whose name evokes a band of British boogie rock veterans getting their equipment stolen. Together they are in Barry’s wee-est venue as a duo, utilising shruti box …
Future Exes
Future Exes
This band are from Lille, so to them this venue’s name simply means ‘The Public Space’. Not that they’re in a position to talk about whether names are good or not, in What’s On’s opinion, but either way attendees will find Future Exes kicking out ramshackle 90s alt jams, equally remindful of Superchunk and Weezer …

David Rust
David Rust
Hands-in-air activity as Ponty club Platform11 entice trance DJ David Rust down from Glasgow to headline. Cycling between various trance subgenres in his energetic, technically adept sets, this one may well be sold out by 4/20 and at the very least will be a sweatfest.
Hodge / James Dexter
Hodge / James Dexter
With the 500-capacity Corn Exchange having opened in Newport last month – the city’s first music venue in that size bracket since TJ’s closed in 2010 – it’s been quick …

Kula Shaker
Kula Shaker
Kula Shaker are back with an album of mystical psych-rock titled Natural Magick and I for one am expecting it to catapult listeners back to the heady days of 1996 as assuredly as a Matt Le Tissier penalty. The band’s gigs, reckon their press blurb, “are communal gatherings of like-minded souls”. Doesn’t that describe most …

Leveret
Leveret
Here’s a three-headed band of folk instrumentalists who create a paradoxical sound, boisterous melancholy if you will. Leveret, as sprightly and rustic as their namesake, comprise Andy Cutting on accordion, Rob Harbron on concertina and Sam Sweeney on fiddle, and the dance-band sound on which they’ve landed is swaying, uptempo, variously bucolic and nautical in …
Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman
Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman

Muriel
Muriel
Somewhere between post-rock, Midwest emo and countrified alt-rock, Muriel is the ostensible solo project of Cardiff’s Zak Thomas, very much expanded for the purposes of live performance – up to eight people onstage at last count. The Friday show was booked up sharpish so they added another the day before.

The Leisure Society
The Leisure Society
Grownup indie vibes from a band with friends in high places: as a teen, frontman Nick Hemming played in a band with Shane Meadows and Paddy Considine, while The Leisure Society have cowritten songs with Ray Davies and, most recently, Brian Eno. Fare for fans of The National, or maybe the ‘Mumfords’ before they went …

Time Flies 30th Birthday Party
Time Flies 30th Birthday Party
The latest milestone anniversary shindig for veteran Cardiff dance brand was booked in at City Hall but there’s a load of asbestos in there so it’s moved about 100 yards up the road. Most of Time Flies’ faithful roster of DJs national and local are here – Graeme Park, Seb Fontaine, Jon Pleased, Brandon Block …

A Celebration Of Welsh Composers
A Celebration Of Welsh Composers
This concert programme is performed by the Rhondda Symphony Orchestra and was devised by its musical director Edward John, who noted the rarity with which Welsh classical performances feature domestic composition in more than token amounts. These two evenings, then, will include renditions of work by composers from the early 20th century – Nocturne by …
