FIRST ONE BACK OF 2020!
So lovely to have this first one of the year.

Such an amazing idea has formed inside the brain of the CVC keyboardist – Nanial Jones…

A community based project that will be a platform and a home to local band merchandise for artists that want to sell outside of their gigs.

Feel like this is such a positive step forward for the city….

OPENING DATE TBA (Late April/May 2020)
LOCATION: Castle Emporium

Eyes peeled and get along to support it!

A special podcast this week…
ahead of their FIRST EVER visit to Cardiff on Monday 9th December at the Motorpoint Arena
its been an honour and privilege to share a moment with Scott Devendorf from

THE NATIONAL

We discussed the band’s stunning latest release “I Am Easy to Find” and its emotionally wrenching visual companion starring Alicia Vikander (dir: Mike Mills) …also, how could we possibly have a chat without a discussion on some of the most emotive music thats ever been produced, courtesy of the NTL mouthpiece.

Early formative years, the first time Scott met Matt in college and their first ever band Nancy…appropriate choices of beverages ALL ON THE TABLE in this weeks special….as well a few NTL tracks from the catalogue picked by Scott.

It’s a delight to be able to share something I’m so proud of.
