Author: Gig Buddies Cymru
Friday 22 November, 7pm
We are excited to announce that Adwaith will be headlining our Gig Buddies Swansea launch at Elysium on Friday 22 November.
Tickets are £10 for the public, £5 for Gig Buddies. See below for details.
Adwaith are a Welsh language post-punk band from Carmarthen. They have played 2 acclaimed sets at Glastonbury, supported Manic Street Preachers and Idles, and in 2022 they became the first artist to win the Welsh Music Prize twice. We love Adwaith’s music, and lots of Gig Buddies have seen them live so we are thrilled that they are headlining our launch gig!
Gig Buddies Cymru match adults with a learning disability (and/or autism) with a volunteer buddy who share the same interests so they can enjoy live music, culture, and other social activities together.
The project tackles loneliness through friendship, culture and fun. It helps to improve well-being, confidence and independence and helps adults with a learning disability to stay up late and enjoy nightlife – when there is very little paid support available.
We’re always looking for new Gig Buddy volunteers. Find out more at www.gigbuddies.cymru, email gigbuddies@ldw.org.uk or phone 029 2068 1160.
