The Bunkhouse Swansea | Swansea, WA

Swansea Council’s Croeso celebration is back this St David’s Day weekend, with the return of Nightworks, a vibrant programme of bilingual, free-entry gigs across the city’s grassroots music venues.
The programme kicks off on Friday the 27th of February with an evening of post-punk and alternative rock at The Bunkhouse headlined by Slate.
Emerging from the depths of Cardiff’s burgeoning music scene, and heirs to their country’s lineage of storytellers, are Slate. The four-piece reimagine the gothic foundations of new-wave, charging their sound with melodic force and the white-knuckled intensity of post-punk. Their introductory singles “Tabernacl” and “St Agatha” found praise in the NME, Clash, So Young, DIY and more, as well as radio champions in Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq on BBC 6Music, and Jack Saunders on BBC Radio 1. A reclamation of Welsh identity, and love of poetry which is woven into their live performances, are influences which announce Slate as a fascinating and necessary arrival.
Slate are joined by the melodic slacker-rock of Los Blancos, alt-rock quartet VAIN, and Pypi Slysh, the 6-piece project of Sam Stevens and Siôn Teifi Rees from Ceredigion which also features members of Mellt and Slate.

Mae dathliad Croeso Cyngor Abertawe yn dychwelyd dros benwythnos Dydd Gŵyl Dewi, gyda’r digwyddiadau Croeso x Nightworks yn cynnig rhaglen fywiog o gigs dwyieithog, mynediad am ddim ar draws lleoliadau llawr gwlad y ddinas.
Mae'r rhaglen yn cychwyn ar nos Wener y 27ain o Chwefror gyda noson o post-pync a roc amgen yn lleoliad The Bunkhouse gyda Slate.
Yn dod i'r amlwg o ddyfnderoedd sin gerddoriaeth gynyddol Caerdydd, ac yn etifeddion i’r traddodiad storïwyr eu gwlad, mae Slate. Mae'r grŵp pedwar aelod yn ail-ddychmygu sylfeini gothig new-wave, gan wefru eu sain â grym melodig ac angerdd post-pync. Cafodd eu senglau cyntaf, "Tabernacl" a "St Agatha", ganmoliaeth yn yr NME, Clash, So Young, DIY a mwy, yn ogystal ag ar y radio gan Huw Stephens a Steve Lamacq ar BBC 6Music, a Jack Saunders ar BBC Radio 1. Mae adfer hunaniaeth Gymreig, a chariad at farddoniaeth sydd wedi'i blethu yn eu perfformiadau byw, yn ddylanwadau sy'n cyflwyno Slate fel artistiaid diddorol ac angenrheidiol.
Yn ymuno â Slate mae Los Blancos a’u roc slacyr melodig, y pedwarawd roc-amgen VAIN, a Pypi Slysh, prosiect 6 aelod Sam Stevens a Siôn Teifi Rees o Geredigion sydd hefyd yn cynnwys aelodau o Mellt a Slate.
