Having caught this show last year at End of the Road festival, we can honestly confirm that Rhys’ multimedia performance – in which he recounts through the mediums of song, puppetry and thinly veiled nonsense (amongst others), the tales of a little known-about Welsh-speaking tribe of Native Americans (seriously, what is in this guy’s tea?) – is nothing short of totally and inexplicably brilliant. Truly, stupendously, incomprehensibly brilliant at that.

Bringing together a handful of the plethora of sounds and attitudes that permeate the rich cultural tapestry of this vibrant, global city, the Remixed Festival (currently entering its fourth year) is all about blurring genre boundaries, introducing you to sounds you might not have experienced before – think latin remix, afrobeats, vintage-remix, electro-blues, acoustic soundclash, brass band remix and loads more – and putting a great big damn smile on everyone’s face. There will be over 25 bands and Djs across four stages and two days – musical festival-ities for the winter! Top stuff.
