Just seen this in the thread on gigs… No mention of it on the café’s website, but I’ve emailed to ask for more details. Welsh Gigs - DATES AND LOCATIONS! 🎸 - #350 by robbruce
I asked the café: Doors are at 7.30pm and tickets can be bought here WeGotTickets | Simple, honest ticketing | Divine Schism: HMS Morris + Sassyhiya + Lucy Leave + Sksie
It’s on Little Clarendon St.
That seems to be the London show - here’s the link to buy tickets for Oxford (Friday 20 October):
… and the next day (Saturday 21 October) you can hear the Oxford Welsh Male Voice Choir at the Sheldonian!

Cerys Hafana, Thursday 23 November, Common Ground
I know Cerys Havana very well since she was a young girl. If you intend going tell her that I said helo, she’ll be more than pleased to speak welsh to you @owen-mcknight
@Betterlatethan i just got very excited. Is this you? My mum is staying this week and she is reading “Gêm Beryglus”
Yes, that’s me. Before the first books in the series were published, there was an invitation on the forum for people to apply to review a book online before it appeared in print. I applied, and I reviewed this one. I am ridiculously proud of having my review printed on the back.
