introducing aberteifi live…
a Cardigan collective on a music mission…
We are Mwldan, Small World Theatre, The Cellar and Fflach Cymunedol.
We are delighted to announce the launch of Aberteifi Live, bringing together independent local music venues and promoters dedicated to programming and promoting high-quality music events throughout the year in Cardigan. Building on the success of Other Voices Cardigan and the town’s rich musical heritage, the partnership initiative between local promoters - The Cellar, Mwldan, Small World Theatre and Fflach Cymunedol - aims to celebrate Cardigan’s rich heritage of music and position the town as a vibrant destination for artists and music lovers alike.
Aberteifi Live will curate a year-round diverse lineup of music performances, including recording artists from within Wales and established acts from further afield across a range of genres. Events will take place in a number of venues locally, with the collective working together to create a dynamic music scene that enhances the cultural fabric of Cardigan. All the partners will work together to present events in the most appropriate venues around the town, and to jointly market the Aberteifi Live events to their audiences.
The collective will kick off its programme with a launch event on 2nd January at The Cellar, featuring performances by Lafant, Dewin, Yr Hunanol and Chwaer. Other Aberteifi Live concerts announced for 2026 include one of the giants of Malian music Afel Bocoum at Mwldan on 28th January, the six-strong powerhouse of progressive folk Pons Aelius on 24th April, and the stunning ‘master of the Welsh triple harp’ (The Guardian) - Cerys Hafana on 5th June both at Small World Theatre, with more acts to be announced in due course.
