Talybont Social Broadcast Aftermath…

Fresher’s Do’s and Don’t’s live from Talybont Social

Xpress Radio rocked out in Talybont Social on Saturday night, giving away loads of free drinks courtesy of the venue, and lots of brand new CD’s from the guys at Beggars Group.

Lots of drinks for all the new freshers, as well as some awesome CD’s

Resident Xpress presenters Matt Jones and Sam Lloyd put together an awesome show, playing incredible drinking and party games with the audience, including a truly unbelievable re-enactment of Gangnam Style from everyone there that was not to be missed!

Matt and Sam practising for the Gangnam Style competition – and showing the freshers how its done!

Boat races were also in effect, and here I have to make a note to say well done to the freshers who took this to the next level – straight arming drinks to ensure victory!

Sam discussing his most embarrassing freshers story to put the audience at ease!

So a big thanks to everyone that came out and took part – it was a great night! Highlights from the Xpress coverage will be up shortly, as will footage filmed on the night by Cardiff’s own television station CUTV. If you missed out and want to join in the antics, Xpress Radio will be playing out from 12-3pm in the Union Kitchen this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so get yourself down!

Truck Festival Review and Interviews!

Just returned from Truck – and what an awesome festival – spent the best part of the week recuperating! Despite the smaller size of the festival, the atmosphere was amazing, especially with the hot weather! All the bands put on incredible performances, and I managed to get interviews with some of them throughout the weekend.
In the next few days/weeks a lot of them will be put up on here, and on both soundcloud and iTunes, so keep checking back for them!
The bands are:

Theme Park
A Crash of Rhinos
DogisDead
Spring Offensive
65daysofstatic
and a guy we bumped into with a ukulele wearing pajamas…

Plus a review of the whole event, and loads of photos of the bands and festival overall! It was a great weekend, and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

Although the one mistake I did make is – if you are going to go, make sure you send in your photo early, or you’ll be Noface (which just sounds like a poor Batman villain):

The worst identity pass ever...

“F**k Yeah, Truck Yeah”

The guys from Malibu came from their Malibutique, currently set up on Churchill Way in Cardiff and gave us loads of free stuff! ┬áYou can get in on the action too…this weekend, starting tomorrow they will be styling with Models Own, GHD, cocktail-ing and fake-bakeing people for free!

In the meantime though Hannah and I are getting on it on this lovely sunny afternoon.

Best served with a nice cool plastic cup of concentrated cranberry juice.
