Chasing Lions (the band, not the activity) at C.A.I tonight!
Seeing as I’m trapped at work by adverse weather conditions, this seems like a good time to post about this evening’s festivities at the brand new Cardiff Arts Institute: For those who haven’t been there yet, C.A.I is Cardiff’s newest bar from the people who brought you Milgi’s, taking over what used to be Incognito’s on Park Place (y’know, … Read more

Big thanks again to them for having us on the show! If the opportunity to hear me make an ass of myself live on air … Read more
