A place of musical discovery
The official opening of New Moon is in January but they are holding events throughout December in order to fine tune the venue, including club nights and live gigs, Steve explains.
In January, the Free 4 All music festival will kick off its official launch. Live music will occur every night during the month and will all be free entry.
Steve describes the music promoted with The Moon as “eclectic”, from acoustic, to drum and base, to punk music.
Steve sees The Moon as a stepping stone for artists before they go on to perform at Welsh Club and university venues.
Where is it located?
New Moon is opposite Clwb Ifor Bach, otherwise known as Welsh Club, on Womanby Street.
The Moon is being launched as a new eclectic music establishment
The Moon is being created as an accessible music venue for up and coming artists above Full Moon bar.
Owners Steve Bines and Gwyn Thomas have decided to open a venue designed for musical performances after the success of their Full Moon bar which opened in Cardiff two months ago.
It is a dedicated music venue, explains Steve, for people who like all sorts of music.
The Moon has a capacity for 150 people for live events and is equipped with all the facilities found in larger venues.
Many bands and promoters cannot afford to hire out larger establishments, Steve explains.
“The whole point is to make it accessible financially so, 9 out of 10 times, there will be no charge for the band to use the venue,” Steve describes.
