    Listings September 2022

    Edited by Mick Tems

    THE FOLKWALES LISTINGS is an absolutely crucial service: it’s an up-to-date All-Wales Diary of Roots/Folk Events, which covers the borders with England, too – folkophiles will find it essential! The Diary below is as immediate as our latest information allows, but please phone or email to confirm details before travelling to an event. Many professional music places, theatres, agents and publicists do tell us, but last-minute alterations do happen. If you see an incorrect listing, please let us know by posting at the bottom of the page below.

    The Folk Movement is an incredibly broad church – however, FolkWales Listings reserves the right to filter out rock, pop, jazz and classical events, on behalf of our more discerning customers!
