Musical highlights of the year 2018



Another funny year has nearly flown, but has at least given me personally lots of musical respite. So in what has become an annual event, here are some musical highlights from 2018  that are listed in no particular order, they have all succeeded  in diferent ways to pick me up immensely.
Special mention goes  out  to the Cellar Bar, here in Cardigan, a musical venue of much magic and wonder. My deep commiserations  are offered to much loved independent venue the Parrot in Carmarthen, sadly closing its doors on New Year's eve.
Respect to the music makers, and those that have and will keep on supporting them, local or further afield,  let's continue to get lost in the power of music, with its mighty ability to lift  our hearts and stir our souls. Keep on listening, see you on the other side.
