The forests are burning, the icecaps are melting, and you haven’t hugged your nan in donkeys.
You’ve lost all your money in the crypto rush, you bought a smartcar and your friends laughed at you. Things have been a bit shit.
BopaRhys is here to stick a plaster on that broken leg and distract and disarm you from the perils of reality.
Come hear the Welsh Songstress and her LIVE BAND belt out some jazzy numbers, tell some stories and of course show off the sexiest legs that are in support of Welsh Independence.
Expect jokes and a good time. Leave having overthrown the government.
