MAY 2022 roundup
“Yes, it’s an extender!” – an Alan Partridge quote which, despite its position on the lower rungs of memeability, has been deployed as part of a brief mention of
4
his upcoming arena show? Or a description of this three-page spread of similarly terse, picture-led items?
upfront
Interviews with Bianca Del Rio, the Matsena Brothers, Jac Yarrow, Al Murray and Miles Kane. All custodians of the stage, in their own way. We’ve also got a sufficiency of food content, including a rundown of Welsh eatin’-and-drinkin’ festivals’n’markets, a toast to indie restaurants and a profile of some places doing high-end sustainability at the mo
8 film
Keiron Self, as regular readers of his monthly section and/or this contents page will know, is ‘the movie guy’. But he’s not just the movie guy. This month, he outs himself as a big Nick Cave fan and also someone who might shoehorn a mention of The Prodigy into a film review
28 previews
Nice varied state section this month – from arch clowning to a contemporary Ibsen remix and that Henry VIII musical – thanks mainly to the dulcet prose of Chris Williams. Big ups! Plus art shows and music rackets. How good does that Fulu Miziki Kollektiv gig look? (I tell you the answer on the page.)
30 music
Close on 20 reviews of new releases plus an interview with Panic Shack in the ‘ones to watch’ section. Supposedly people outside the insular cocoon I live in also think they are ‘ones to watch’; as such there is a longer version of the interview on the Buzz website so go and read that also
35 lifestyle
Buzz’s Adam has a grand day out at BikePark Wales nearish Merthyr, and there’s a bunch of food profiles, reviews, lists
38
etc on top of what we already forcefed you earlier in the issue

Whether you are from the “naughty north”, the “sexy south” or the “deviant disputed territory” you will find more than hot singles going on in your area
