I wanted to share something exciting. This past weekend, I attended one of the best #shows I've ever experienced! It was a massive event celebrating the best of Welsh music inside the stunning #CardiffCastle. As a special highlight, #FuneralforaFriend performed their entire 2005 album, #Hours, in full. It was an incredible day filled with amazing music. Be sure to check out my full report on the #blog now!

If #blues #music were a video game, then #JoeBonamassa would be one of the boss levels, if not the final boss!

He makes everything look so effortless, and not only that, but he inspires people to go out and pick up a #guitar. Check out my full gig report of when Joe returned to #Liverpool for the first time in years!
