Local promoters in Cardiff are responsible for practically all the smaller gigs in venues such as Dempseys, Callaghans, Buffalo Bar and some in Clwb Ifor Bach. They come and go but a handful of them perpetuate, and if they do, they are mentioned here. Some put on local bands, some look farther afield and book bands from countries such as Germany or the US. They are the ones that keep Cardiff's music scene so diverse. Try and support them if you can.
Lesson No. 1 - refreshingly different, these guys have followers who go to every gig they put on.
Plug Two - more than just gigs.
Music Events Wales - put on larger than your average pub bands.
Sumo - held at Clwb Ifor Bach
Forecast - probably Cardiff's biggest independent promotors, they put on regular gigs at venues including The Point.
