Well, hello, and welcome back to the KCL blog!
We had a bit of a summer hiatus, along with most, to enjoy the rare days of sunshine, listen to our favourite tunes and make the most of the nation being on summer holidays. Now our blog is back and better than ever, as we have a lot of exciting stuff in the pipeline here at KCL!
You may have already heard our new student podcast, Natter Chat, which launched a few months ago. It’s not one to be missed, especially for students, as topical discussions are had, freshers talk is rife and plenty more information and advice is given for students.
We’re also launching our TikTok, so keep your eyes peeled for plenty of visual content across our social channels as we document not only musical happenings but what daily life in Cardiff can look like.
We will also be bringing back our weekly blog, but with an extra feature. Our ‘What’s On Weekly’ will list what’s going on in Cardiff during the coming week and can be referred to when in need of some inspiration of what to do in the city!
As we head into the Autumn months full of crunchy golden leaves, pumpkin spiced lattes and Halloween costumes being prepped, there’s another thing we at KCL are getting especially excited about, the return of live music! After what has felt like a lifetime away from seeing our favourite artists, dancing in mosh pits and swaying along to songs with friends, we can get back to the good old days and find some sense of normality amongst the ‘new normal’ we’ve had to get used to.
With many of our team at KCL already getting back to live gigs, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for reviews, features and opinions shared on performances and experiences!
It’s not only gigs we’ll be going through open doors to again, but theatre is back in full swing too. With many of us being fans of musical theatre and plays alike, there’s sure to be at least a few reviews from this sector of the arts. As the curtains continue to open for performers, fingertips itch in excitement to get back to writing about them,
It’s an exciting time not just for us as a population to return to some sense of normality, but for the arts and hospitality industries, who have been especially impacted by the restrictions imposed due to Covid-19.
So, let’s get back to losing our voices at festivals, showing off our air guitar skills with the bands and appreciating musicians and performers more than ever, not taking for granted the specialness of live performance ever again, and stay tuned for lots more from Keep Cardiff Live!
