Butetown Bay Jazz - May 1 to 3

Ciyo Brown


Guitarist Ciyo Brown, Li Harding, The Amigos and Coltrane Dedication are among the attractions of an expanded Butetown Bay Jazz festival in Cardiff this Saturday 1 to Monday 3 May 2010.

The free festival follows the success of last year's one-day event and aims to celebrate the musical heritage of Tiger Bay.

A stage at Mermaid Quay on the city's waterfront will be the focus of activities on Saturday and Monday, with Sunday's live music taking place in the foyer of the nearby Wales Millennium Centre.

There'll also be performances by young musicians and dancers from the bay, and workshops in guitar, creative writing and marketing for musicians.

Radio Cardiff DJs including Donna Zammit, Paddi, Steven Johnson, Rachel Price and myself will keep things moving between the live acts.

The event will also be broadcast live on Radio Cardiff from 11am till 6pm each day, although the live music continues into the evening.
