The Manics return to St David’s Hall Cardiff, scene of their earliest busking gigs.

The Manics return to St David’s Hall Cardiff, scene of their earliest busking gigs, this time playing from a 35-year back catalogue. Part of Radio 2 Live 2021 across UK music venues. 

James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire, Sean Moore and their band return to St David’s Hall in Cardiff, where they played some of their earliest busking gigs, but this time to play a brand new show for Radio 2 Live.  The band perform live songs from their 35 year back catalogue as well as their new album The Ultra Vivid Lament, all in front of a small and socially distanced audience of fans.     

Introduced by Jo Whiley, the show is part of a series of Radio 2 Live 2021 concerts, recorded with some of the first live and intimate audiences at music venues across the UK.

With songs as far back as Motorcycle Emptiness, through to classics such as Design For Life and If You Tolerate This, and all the way up to new and equally poignant tracks including Don’t Let The Night, the men from Blackwood show that their lyrics and music are still as relevant today as they have always been.  Plus a few surprise songs, including a duet with Cat Southall on The Secret He Had Missed.
