  Fflam Festival Postponed

It’s not been much of a suprise to learn that the Ffam Festival scheduled for 13th - 15th July in Singleton Park in Swansea has been postponed to later on in the summer. The official reason being that the weather has affected the condition of the park after other events there in recent weeks. There has been speculation however, that the real reason the show has been cancelled is that organisers had not arranged police cover for the event.

The lack of camping facilities, the price of tickets, local residents objections and to cap it all off, rumours that Feeder had never actually confirmed they would be playing at Fflam has left would be festival goers with a bitter taste in their mouths.

The question is, with the summer festival season already in full swing, will any of these bands be available for the rescheduled date?

Refunds will be made available from point of sale- however, the booking fee is non refundable. At least the booking agents won’t be out of pocket.

  Art Exhibition Helps Singleton Hospital Charity

The bi-annual Mary Dore Falconer School of Painting exhibition and sale to benefit Singleton Hospital Cancer Care is taking place over the Easter weekend. The art group who meet up every week, have been supporting this charity for years and have raised over £2340 through sales and donations from these exhibitions.

The exhibition features works by established local artist Mary Dore Falconer and students from her art school who meet every week, including the internationally renowned MB Rowlands. There will watercolours and oil paintings on show, plus other greetings cards with photos of local sites.

10% of sales will go to Singleton Hospital Cancer Care and if you don’t spot anything you would like to buy, you can make a donation instead!

There is free admission with free tea, coffee and biscuits- just drop in a couple of pounds into the donation jar! Still cheaper than a coffee shop, plus you get to enjoy original art and help a charity at the same time.

The exhibition takes place April 6th - 9th from 10am to 4.30pm at Gower Studio in Cilibion in Gower, on B4271 near the turn off for Reynoldston. There will be signs giving directions around the area over the weekend, so keep your eyes peeled!
