About this Event
We are excited to announce that Adwaith will be headlining our Gig Buddies Swansea launch at Elysium on Friday 22 November.
Tickets go on sale this Friday 25 October at 10am - £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 [email protected] or phone 029 2068 1160.
Tickets go on sale this Friday 25 October at 10am. £10 for the public. £5 for Gig Buddies (we will be sending a unique code so Gig Buddies, project partners and supporters of the project can buy a discounted ticket). Follow the link in our bio to buy tickets.
Mae'n bleser gennym gyhoeddi y bydd Adwaith yn arwain ein lansiad Ffrindiau Gig Abertawe yn Elysium ddydd Gwener 22 Tachwedd.
Mae tocynnau'n mynd ar werth ddydd Gwener 25 Hydref am 10am - £10 i'r cyhoedd, £5 i Ffrindiau Gig. Gweler isod am fanylion.
Band ôl-pync Cymraeg o Gaerfyrddin ydy Adwaith. Maen nhw wedi chwarae dwy set o fri yn Glastonbury, wedi cefnogi Manic Street Preachers ac Idles, ac yn 2022 nhw oedd yr artist cyntaf i ennill Gwobr Gerddoriaeth Gymreig ddwywaith. Rydyn ni'n hoff iawn o gerddoriaeth Adwaith, ac mae llawer o Ffrindiau Gig wedi eu gweld nhw'n fyw felly rydyn ni wrth ein boddau eu bod nhw'n arwain ein gig lansio!
Mae Ffrindiau Gig Cymru yn paru oedolion ag anabledd dysgu (ac/neu awtistiaeth) gyda ffrind gwirfoddol sy'n rhannu'r un diddordebau fel eu bod nhw’n gallu mwynhau cerddoriaeth fyw, diwylliant a gweithgareddau cymdeithasol eraill gyda'i gilydd.
Mae'r prosiect yn delio ag unigrwydd trwy gyfeillgarwch, diwylliant a hwyl. Mae'n helpu i wella lles, hyder ac annibyniaeth ac yn helpu oedolion ag anabledd dysgu i aros i fyny'n hwyr a mwynhau bywyd nos - pan nad oes llawer iawn o gymorth â thâl ar gael.
Rydyn ni bob amser yn chwilio am wirfoddolwyr Ffrindiau Gig newydd. Darganfyddwch fwy ar www.gigbuddies.cymru, e-bostiwch [email protected] neu ffoniwch 029 2068 1160.
Bydd tocynnau ar werth ddydd Gwener 25 Hydref am 10am. £10 i'r cyhoedd. £5 ar gyfer Ffrindiau Gig (byddwn yn anfon cod unigryw fel y gall Ffrindiau Gigiau a chefnogwyr y prosiect brynu tocyn gostyngedig). Dilynwch y ddolen yn ein bio i brynu tocynnau.
