Friday 16th July sees Sustainable Wales host a community festival of Porthcawl pop (and more!) at the Seabank Hotel. Following last year’s success, The Commune returns with another exhilarating and eclectic line-up of quality acts and performances – a mini-festival with a Glastonbury vibe!
The main aim of this charity fundraiser is to provide a live showcase for original material from local talent and the mix of acts and styles is really diverse: the night will be a journey of sounds and styles including quirky acoustics from Porthcawl Ukulele Band, raucous indie rockers dEkE, our very own ‘modfather’ Nick Ward and his band, some hip-hop street vibes from Blud Kunnektion and rounded off with an electro-funk dance set from WMD. A few special guests are coming too!
Under the Arts for the Earth banner, raising awareness of local and global issues, the ‘Art & Mind’ sessions include poet Kris Evans with soundscapes and psychedelic projections, and there will be a ‘Bongo Fury’ drumming circle for everyone to join in led by djembe drummers Weapons of Mass Percussion. There’ll also be festival stalls selling jewellry, bags, arts & crafts including ethical gifts from SUSSED..
Doors open 7pm. Tickets £4 advance, £5 door. Available from SUSSED, opposite Fulgoni’s.
