Gŵyl NAWR

Gŵyl NAWR returns to Tŷ Tawe on Friday 6 November, the music festival run by NAWR. It's a weekend celebrating left-field and experimental music, and the programme leans on the improvising and the unconventional. Over the years, the line-up has included Hylif, Angharad Jenkins & Pete Williams, Hap a Damwain, John Bisset & Dan Johnson, Leona Jones, Malcolm Neon, Pat Morgan, Cure All, Spirited Followers, Taranau Orchestra and Warm Leveret.

This year's bill is split across two nights. NikNak takes the Friday session, and Plague Doctors Cure All handle the Saturday. If you're only familiar with the name, the Saturday act is an improvising jazz rock group with goth overtones. The line-up runs tenor and baritone sax, an electronic wind instrument, driving bass, 'Frippish' guitar and inventive drumming, pulling between funky grooves, lyrical solos and solid thrashing.

It's a weekend, so you can catch both nights on one ticket. The first session kicks off at 7pm on Friday 6 November, and the second runs into Saturday 7 November, finishing around midday. That's Tŷ Tawe at 9 Christina Street, SA1 4EW, and the weekend ticket is £20.
