Gig Buddies Assemble!

If there was a glitzy award for showing up then Gig Buddies Cymru would take it home for sure! An incredible 75 Gig Buddies from across Wales showed up for the annual Welsh Music Prize this year!

And what an incredible night it was – amazing performances, a great view, glitz and glamor, an after party and we even got to meet some celebs Huw Stephens, Sian Eleri!

What more could you want from a night out?

Diolch yn Fawr Gwobr Gerddoriaeth Gymreig a LLongyfarchiadau Dafydd Owain on the win!!

Gig-going legend Richie is putting on another epic gig to fundraise for Gig Buddies Cymru!

Saturday 5 December at The Canopi Cardiff. 6pm-11pm.

The wonderful Connor at Under Construction has worked with Richie to put together a STACKED line-up, which we'll be announcing SOON.

(Last year's inaugural Richie Fest featured Lemfreck, Morn, Joyce, Why Horses? and Bryony Sier, to give you an idea of what to expect...)

Tickets are £15 (plus booking fee) via See Tickets and we expect them to disappear fast! (Link in bio)

If you wish to further support the excellent work of Gig Buddies Cymru, there are additional donation options available.

Diolch yn fawr iawn once again to The Canopi for hosting Richie Fest.

A belated Happy Birthday to us! 🎂🎈🎁🎉🥳

Our Gig Buddies project in Swansea and NPT is 2 years old - and what a 2 years it's been! Not bad for a toddler right??

Swipe through to see the incredible impact we've had in the area so far, and click follow to see what we get up to next!

Of course none of this would be possible without the incredible support from our funders West Glamorgan Regional Partnership and The National Lottery so a massive thank you to you guys too!

We are always looking for more volunteers in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot, so if you want to help us make even more of an impact - drop us a message to find out more!
