What's making Cardiff tick today?
Young people from Ely and Fairwater took part in a police youth engagement event by staying overnight at Fairwater Police Station. The youngsters had their mugshots taken, were kitted out with prisoner suits and given a prison meal before their night.
Shaquille, aged 11, who got a certificate for taking part said:
"It was a good and I will not forget my night in the cell. I enjoyed making new friends and learning more about policing, but did miss watching TV."
Bethan Elfyn blogs about Swn and Dirty Protest theatre on BBC Wales Music blog. She writes:
"As a Cardiff resident, and a music fan, Sŵn is an explosion of the impossible, a non-stop schedule, an over stimulus, a delight and a nightmare, from packed-out gigs to queues around the block, it's totally amazing - but also frustrating at times.
"It's everything someone who lives here would like to see on a more regular basis in the city: an enthusiastic music crowd there for new artists, there for a challenge, there for musical curiosity as much as the local favourites. So even accepting that it doesn't happen on a regular basis, how special and fantastic is 'Sŵn' then, that it can inspire the city for a short while to turn out in numbers, to support the local, to kick into life for this weekend over and above any other."
