THE FOLKWALES LISTINGS is an absolutely crucial service: it's an Up-To-Date All-Wales Diary of Roots/Folk Events, which covers the borders with England, too - serious folkophiles will find it essential! Whenever possible, The Listings shows the EXACT venue and the EXACT time, with website information and phone numbers; no more desperately searching for your favourite artists - apart from wondering if you have missed the gig. The Diary below is as up-to-date as our latest information allows, but it's best to warn you: please phone or email to confirm details before travelling to an event. Many professional music places, theatres, agents and publicists do tell us, but FolkWales Online Magazine cannot be held responsible for any incorrect information given here. If you see an incorrect listing, please let us know by using the Feedback button.
