That's it for the blog this week folks – but we'll be back on Monday with plenty more. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section of this post.
What's on this weekend?
Wales might be in deep freeze but a north Cardiff suburb is celebrating Christmas in the style of the USA's deep south. The Rhiwbina Baptist Community Gospel Choir (RBCGC) is performing Christmas Tapestry today, tomorrow and on Sunday at Rhiwbina Baptist Church, on Lon Ucha, Rhiwbina. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7.30pm whilst the Sunday performance will take place at 10.30am.
Christmas Tapestry is a fusion of gospel, blues and classical music. It blends traditional carols and anthems with foot stomping gospel tunes. It's bringing the soul back into Christmas.
RBCGC's choir director Troy Blankenship said:
"People love gospel music because it's upbeat and positive. In fact it's impossible to listen to it without tapping your feet or getting up and dancing. We'd love the people of Cardiff to come and experience a gospel Christmas with us – it'll put a smile on their face."
