Last Sunday at Jacob’s Antiques Market in Cardiff, I saw one of the best, if not THE best gig of my life. Serious. It was almost like a day festival and was just brilliant with films, art exhibitions and music from David Mysterious, Y Pencadlys and the fantastical R. Stevie Moore. Thank you sooo much Peski for putting on such a fantastic event! I also held my first exhibition which included this drawing of R. Stevie Moore… which he signed for me! Whoop! He also had a blue beard. Cool.

Dydd Sul diwetha, yn Jacob’s Antiques Market yng Nghaerdydd, nes i weld un o’r gigie gore, os nad Y gig gore i mi erioed weld. Wir, hollol ymeising! Odd e bron yn ryw fath o wŷl un dydd gyda ffilmie yn dangos, arddangosfeydd celf a cherddoriaeth gan David Mysterious, Y Pencadlys a’r anhygoel R. Stevie Moore. Diolch MASIF i Peski am gynnal digwyddiad mor anfaddeuol o dda! Nes i hefyd gynal yn arddangosfa cynta’ oedd yn cynnwys y llun ‘ma o R. Stevie Moore… nath e arwyddo’r peth! Nyts! Odd hefyd da fe farf glas. Cŵl.
