Evening of the Indie Beer Fest Cymru with live music from Gaudy Orde, a seven-piece ukulele and comedy band.
Indie Beer Fest Cymru takes over Down By Here from Thursday 12 to Sunday 15 November, a four-day showcase of Wales's independent brewing industry. It's run in collaboration with Welsh Breweries, SIBA (the Society of Independent Brewers and Associates), and the venue itself, following the first festival's run in Haverfordwest. The Swansea edition brings together more than 35 independent Welsh breweries and over 150 beers, with daytime sessions and evening sessions throughout the four days, and live music every night.
Sunday's music comes from Gaudy Orde, a South Wales seven-piece fronted by UK Musical Comedy Award winner Jeff Japers. They describe their set as 'Anarchic Acoustic Comedy', and the sound is built on ukuleles, bass, clarinet, spoons, washboard, cajon, and a drumming bunny. It's a raucous, acoustic-led night that sits as much in the comedy camp as it does in the music one.
If you're coming for the beer, the scale is the main thing to keep in mind: more than 35 breweries and over 150 beers to work through over the four days. The festival runs from Thursday 12 to Sunday 15 November, with daytime and evening sessions, so you can drop in for a few pints during the day or stick around for the music in the evenings. Every ticket includes a branded pint glass and a beer token.
