Clwb Ifor Bach is an independent live music venue in Cardiff, Wales. We’ve been at the forefront of Welsh culture for over 40 years, and we’re proud to be Wales’s leading grassroots music venue and promoter. Clwb brings its crowds the absolute best music from Wales and beyond, providing opportunities for thousands of upcoming artists to develop their craft. We don’t just promote live music, but our work now goes beyond to include; audience, artist, skills and community development. In 2019 we took the natural step to becoming a Registered Charity after decades of offering a stepping stone into the creative industry for many – both on and off stage. We are committed to providing a space where everyone can learn, grow, and access music and culture. In August 2023, we submitted a planning application to rebuild our home on Womanby Street to expand our cultural offering and create more opportunities for people in Wales. This redevelopment will allow us to hold larger-scale performances and events, and provide more opportunities for training and workshops that will expand the reach and impact of Clwb’s charity objectives.
