Gig Description

The Welsh Encontro 2010 is continuing the emerging tradition of Welsh Encontros. The first (2004) and second (2005) were held in Cardiff, the third (2007) organised by Samba Tawe in Swansea were all great successes and built relationships with bands from across the UK, Ireland and Brittany. The Welsh Encontro 2010 aims to build on this.

The Encontro will again be based in the Urdd Centre (part of the Millennium Centre) in the heart of Cardiff Bay. There is limited accommodation available at the Urdd Centre itself but places will need to be booked quickly!

The outline programme comprises

  • High quality intermediate and advanced level training workshops with reputable international trainers.
  • Opportunities for all the visiting bands to play to the public in the city centre and Cardiff Bay area.
  • A showcase of music and dance at the Coal Exchange featuring performing artists from across the UK.
  • Sambadrome – a mass performance of all the visiting samba bands outside the Senedd in Cardiff Bay.

You can see further details and book Accommodation, Workshops, Showcase tickets and busking slots online using the Welsh Encontro 2010 menu on the left.

Venue Description

Cardiff Docks used to be the world's largest coal exporting port.

The construction of a barrage turned it into Cardiff Bay, Europe's largest waterfront development with a wealth of leisure activities available both on and off the water.

Cardiff Bay is home to a number of attractions such as Techniquest Science Discovery Centre - ideal for all the family, Craft in the Bay, The Welsh Assembly at the Pierhead, Butetown History and Arts Centre, Goleulong 2000 Lightship, the Norwegian Church Arts Centre and the brand new Wales Millennium Centre, a stunning and international arts centre.

The Atlantic Wharf Leisure Village provides further options for family entertainment.
