AUDREY POWNE 🔥🎺

What a powerful, virtuousic, and joyous sound from Audrey’s combined vocal & horn magic! Combined with some stellar musicians, some great chat in between songs, and an audience that wanted as much as they could possibly get - this was one to remember!!

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the release of her brand new album in September - we can’t wait! 💿

See you next month for the return of mighty Richard Spaven 🫡

Pianist and composer Finn Carter returns to Yardbird on 16th October!

Right at the center of the UK capital’s genre-blending music community, Carter regularly graces stages like Ronnie Scott’s and The Vortex. Alongside his own uncompromising projects, he has collaborated with pop powerhouses including Loyle Carner, Olivia Dean, and Rex Orange County.

In the wake of his second album ‘Finding Home’ releasing 9th October, Finn brings his like-minded family of players to Cardiff, to explore shifting textures, light-as-air tone, and spiralling melodies.

TICKETS LIVE: LEIF KANER-LIDSTRÖM OCT 2ND! 🎹✨

Bringing a completely unique touch to Cardiff this autumn, classically trained pianist, composer, and UK jazz mainstay Leif Kaner-Lidström lands at Yardbird on October 2nd!

Known for his soft, controlled, and expressive touch, Leif bridges the gap between classical fluidity and the UK’s most boundary-pushing jazz scenes. From creating soundscapes with London’s Levitation Orchestra to diving into his own soaring compositions, his playing is pure, captivating magic.

Following his recent release In Search of Beauty, Leif brings an incredible heavy-hitting lineup with him to Kings Road Yard:

Leif Kaner-Lidström - Piano
Kaidi Akinnibi - Saxophone
Alex Cosmo Blake - Guitar
Hugo Piper - Bass
Jack Robson - Drums

Expect deep improvisation, singing tones, and modern ensemble writing in an intimate space - Tickets are live on DICE right now. Grab yours via the link in our bio before they’re gone! 🎟️🔥
