SATURDAY NOVEMBER 25TH
THE MELTDOWN & NO FIT STATE CIRCUS JOINT 20th BIRTHDAY PARTY!
at THE POINT, Cardiff Bay
£10
A Celebration of two of Cardiff's greatest cultural institutions featuring a host of performers from No Fit State's internationally acclaimed "exhilerating and dreamy circus" (Guardian) and an astonishing line up acts who have played Meltdown over the years spanning genres and generations!
For 20 years Cardiff’s legendary Meltdown Club has been creating space for musicians and performers to experiment, collaborate and entertain. Founded in 1986 Meltdown has been responsible for over 1000 gigs (including roadshows to London and Scotland), a compilation album (3 stars in ‘Q’!), and early gigs by now legendary performers including Catatonia, jazz guitarist Dylan Fowler, comedian Rob Brydon, Massive Attack collaborator Nicolette and a clutch of Super Furries. And all this from a club that is organised by a bunch of unpaid enthusiasts, runs almost wholly on self-generated money, and melts down barriers between styles of music and performance with reckless abandon!!!
SIAN EVANS (KOSHEEN)
"Stylish and sultry" Heat
"The gorgeous vocals of Sian Evans" Cosmopolitan
"Emotive, anthemic and achingly beautiful" Vanity Fair
"Sian Evans's towering vocals" The Guardian
NO FIT STATE CIRCUS
"Twenty years on the road, the Cardiff-based outfit continues a radical rethink of traditional circus activities, with not an animal, wild or domestic thankfully in sight ... the sheer variety of the skills, talents and athleticism displayed ... includes trapeze, fire-eating, tumbling, juggling, bungee stunts, tightrope walking, whip cracking, acrobatics, mock fights, stilt walking, gymnastics, aerial ballet and what a girl achieves with hula hoops proves a genuine showstopper" The Stage
"Less of a show - more of an experience that will stay with you forever" Bath Chronicle
"A no holds barred show, fusing circus, dance, music, theatre and audio-visual" Vanity Fair
"The future of British Circus" The Guardian
VICTORIAN ENGLISH GENTLEMENS CLUB
"a control and mastery of textured pop" UNCUT
"a joy unheard since the B52s" Q
"specialising in sexy stripped down rock n roll" NME
"one of the best new bands in Britain" SUNDAY TIMES
"this Cardiff artrock trio are a force to be reckoned with" INDEPENDENT
"stylish and eccentric" TIME OUT
"like The Pixies playing on The English Riviera" DISORDER
"an album that strolls the periphery of pop as if stalking it." PLAN B
"a rough diamond, an off-the-cuff record full of charm and catchy snippets." ROCKSOUND
FERNHILL feat. JULIE MURPHY
"the band at the heart of the welsh renaissance" MOJO
"Julie Murphy is a must-see-must-hear singer" TIME OUT
"A wonderfully soulful singer" THE GUARDIAN
"one of the greatest singers in the land" Colin Irwin, fROOTS
CAKEHOLE PRESLEY
