This weekend sees the return of Swn festival in Cardiff. We’re making the trip dwn and am very much looking forward to it. A chance to see Seazoo is hard to turn down, we’re keen to see Heal the Last Stands‘ Swn debut and we’re hoping to hear some new noise from Camera who are currently working on a new EP to be out before the end of the year . Other bands from the North taking the trip down include Golden Fable, Beard of Wolves, We/Are/Animal, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog.
