We would like to say a great big thank you to Martine at Y Delyn Wine Bar as we’ve had some of the most amazing gigs there.

HOWEVER - we have outgrown the upstairs room, and feel that it’s time to move to a slightly bigger venue. So it is with great excitement and anticipation that we move to Y Pentan – yes it’s still in Mold!

Visit the website here to get a good look at this fantastic venue. We’re really pleased with the new space, which even boasts a small stage, and we feel that this will allow theAbsurd to continue growing to suit our audience (yes that’s you guys) whilst still keeping the intimate setting that makes our nights so special.

Landlord Richard will also be putting on some great menu deals for the events so you can fill up with fantastic local produce along with your favourite wines!

Stacey Cohen and the Rice Hooligan Orchestra

Stacey is promoting the release of her stunning debut album ‘Butterfly Kisses Squeeze My Mind’. The album features a number of talented local artists including, Emma Black, LouLou Edwards(Bandabacana), John Lawrence (former Gorky’s guitarist), The Rice Hooligan Orchestra, Zac DeSantos and the Manchester based session rock-cellist Adrianne Wininsky, who has played with the likes of Take That and Lily Fraser.

Also performing: Liverpool Kentish writer David Bateman. David is noted for his witty and sometimes surreal poetry, and was Liverpool Poetry Slam Champion 2007.

What they said about David:
“excellent verse. There is real emotion in each piece, even underneath the cutting comic mood.” – The Big Issue.
“Poetry that slices like a razor.” – Mandy Coe.
“A marvellous poet.” – Pete McGovern.
“Spot on.” – Roger McGough.

And as if that wasn’t enough, our very good friend and super-talented poet Jonny Fluffypunk will be special guest compere for the evening – you really don’t want to miss this gig!

That’s all for now. Thanks to all of you who have supported theAbsurd’s events over the past year – we hope to see you at the new venue (Y Pentan – in case we didn’t mention it enough!)

Peace, love & poetry
