BOGIEZ NEW YEAR'S BLOWOUT 2011!

Bogiez Rock Bar & Nightclub According to those pesky Mayans the world will be ending in 2012.

Clever bunch that they are, they clearly predicted the Bogiez New Years Eve Bash well in advance. It’s as if they could psychically tell that Cardiff’s only dedicated rock bar and nightclub would hold a bash so epic, a party so intense and a night so utterly kick-ass that the world would cease to be just because of it’s sheer existence!

Because let’s face facts: NOBODY brings in a new year like Bogiez, and this year, as the calendar goes one louder we too are going past 11 and all the way to 12!

Because NOT ONLY will Bogiez be hosting the most hard-rocking clubnight the world has ever seen, NOT ONLY will the DJs be spinning the finest mix of Rock, Metal and Alternative anthems that this (soon to be doomed) planet has ever seen and NOT ONLY will the drinks prices remain UTTERLY UNCHANGED from our usual Saturday night of hard-rocking goodness, BUT to make this one even more epic than all those that have come before it: It’s FREE.

As this is the end of a rather epic year for us, the year where we evolved into our own, full time venue, we thought we'd shrug off the door tax early on to allow as many people to come and join us kiss goodbye to '11 (and cause let's face it, the moths take up residence in so many of our wallets at this time of year!). So, we’ve just killed the myth that going out on New Years Eve is “too expensive”.

Oh but we’re not done. As well you know we usually close our doors at 3am on a Saturday night, but that (frankly) just isn’t good enough for a party of these kind of proportions. So, for New Years Eve only, here’s our new closing time:

SIX O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!

Put simply, we’ll keep going as long as you all keep going. If that’s 4am, 5am or even 6am we’ll just keep pumping out the finest rock tunes and serving the finest beverages possible, making sure 2012 starts in the exact apocalyptic way that might even stop the world from ending!

So, since there may not be, shall we rock like there’s no tomorrow?

NOTE: £5 tickets are available if you'd like to have a ticket as opposed to just turning up. These are TOTALLY optional but do guarantee entry. A link to purchasing advance tickets will be online tomorrow (Friday 16th).

Saturday December 31st 2011, See www.bogiez.com for full details. Doors at 9pm until you all collapse, FREE entry until midnight, £5 after. All Saturday drinks deals remain unchanged.

SYSTEM 909 - NYE!!!

Undertone, Church Street, Caerdydd, United Kingdom So as 2011 draws to a close we put on one last party to send it out with a bang.

NYE is a difficult one to judge, do you stay local with a couple of mates?, try and avoid the crowds and the ridiculous drinks prices, or do you go all out?, splash the cash and head to one of the many big expensive events that happen up and down the country? 
Inevitably which ever one you chose, you always seam to end up just that little bit disappointed don't you?
Stay local and see the new year in with a damp squip, half cut with little atmosphere, go large and get jostled about in rammed clubs, spend all the money you don't have left after xmas, and spend the rest of the night/day trying to find your way home, thinking the night didn't really live up to all the hype.

Probably the best new years are the ones spent at a house party, filled with all your mates with music you love, no heavy drinks prices, no jostling crowds spilling your beer, and an atmosphere fitting the celebration of the end of one year and the start of a bran new one.

It's exactly what we're going to try and re-create at SYSTEM 909 this year. A night packed full of some of the best dj's that have graced the decks over the last 12 months (and a couple of new ones!), cheap drinks prices, cheap entry, and an atmosphere which SYSTEM 909 is renowned for. Expect a few little surprises on the night as well to help the celebrations go with a bang.

If your looking for good music, a good atmosphere, and that house party feel, then this ones for you,................................................................................................ get sweaty, get dirty, get naked, let's have a fucking party!!!!!!!!

ALL TICKET HOLDERS WILL BE ENTERED INTO A DRAW TO WIN A YEARS FREE ENTRY TO ALL SYSTEM 909 EVENTS IN 2012

Cardiff Halloween Weekend 2011

Looking for some Halloween listings to help you plan what you're going to do over the ghoulish weekend?... well, here goes:

Cardiff Halloween Weekend - Friday 28th October

Bogiez Nightclub - Bogiez Vs Tombstone

Since Halloween has a massive focus on the dead, we figured it’d be wrong to not let our head-stone loving Tombstone fiends in on the action (especially after they helped us send the Millennium Music Hall to hell and back last year) so we’re having a Friday night trip to the Graveyard as Tombstone’s deadly-disc-jockeys go head-to-head with the Bogiez Saturday-night-sin-makers. Expect a truly classic halloween night out as many tunes from the crypt provide you with a sonic assault that will send you to an early (morning) grave….

For more info visit the site

Cardiff Soda Bar - Smack - Halloween House Party

It's the smack. Fridays' Halloween House Party 2011!

Last year Dirty Sanchez decided to come down, create havoc and break shit....although this was fun to watch, this year we have decided to opt out of the clowns and spend our budget on something a lot more epic!

Our friends at Soda are turning the white drapes black, dropping in some horrific Halloween decor and turning up the sound system to supply us with the perfect HHP venue! On top we're shipping in enough lasers and hazers to wake the dead.

Another addition to the Halloween special, we have our new House warm up DJ Eddie Raph. This guy knows his House and Electro so get down between 9-12 to see what all the fuss is about.

Grisly, offensive and pumping like a ripped out heart...it can only be the smack. Halloween House Party!

Dress Code: Non Existent
Door Code: No C*NTS

Bogiez Nightclub - Bogiez Spooktacular

It is said that the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn’t exist. However Lucifer himself couldn’t trick anyone into not believing in the sheer magnitude of this night at Bogiez. Come join us on Halloween Saturday (all-hallows-eve-eve) for the seventh instalment of the truly infamous Bogiez Halloween Spooktacular! Expect a night of the finest horror-party tunes and some truly evil halloween cocktails to boot. We’ll have numerous prizes for the finest Halloween fancy dress including a ghostload from one of Satan’s favourite bands, Megadeth, as we host the official album launch party for their frightfully great new album “Thirteen”.

The entire weekend will also have a massive Southern Comfort & Jack Daniels “Voodoo” promo running as well, so make sure you’re ready for even more depraved goodies from some of our finest suppliers of delicious beverages!

And to ensure the above two nights go as sinfully as possible, we will be selling tickets for both in advance (do remember that 1,300 people came to our one night last year), so if you want to ensure your all-hallows weekend entry we’d recommend getting them in good time. Naturally, there will be numerous other shocks and surprises throughout both of the above nights, so keep your evil eyes peeled! Bogiez’ air-conditioning will also be running at 666 as well, because these nights will be hotter than hell!

Darkness falls across the land
10pm is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of a place
To find some sick and heavy bass

The sound of SOMF is in the air
The shake of twenty thousand hertz
As ghosts pour out from every drain
They head towards spooky Mill Lane

And as u arrive at the Club
You hear some snares & kicks
For no mere mortal can resist
The basslines of Crissy Criss

Michael Jackson tribute concert 2011 – Cardiff Millennium Stadium

Cardiff Millennium Stadium ichael Jackson Tour

Michael Jackson tribute concert 2011 – Cardiff Millennium Stadium

A Michael Jackson tribute concert has been announced for Saturday 8th October 2011 in the Cardiff Millennium Stadium. Currently unannounced, some of the world’s greatest artists are expected to join Katherine Jackson and family to celebrate Michaels life.

The official website for the event (http://home.michaelforevertribute.com/home.html) has a countdown to ticket registration which is a two stage process and tickets ranging from £55 to £289.

The event is sure to pack a huge crowd into Cardiff as with all major events at the Millennium Stadium, we always see a huge influx of visitors from all over the globe.

There has been some controversy over the event just after its announcement with Randy and Jermaine Jackson who tried but failed to organize a tribute show after Jackson’s 2009 death raised concerns over the timing of the event which is set to coincide with the manslaughter trial of Jackson’s doctor beginning September 20.
“While we wholeheartedly support the spirit of a tribute that honours our brother, we find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael’s death,” they said.

The brothers have stressed that they are not against the event, merely the timing of it and the trial.

The event to be called Michael forever – The Tribute Concert will be held on Saturday 8th October 2011 in the Cardiff Millennium Stadium with proceeds going to charity.

More details are yet to be announced but info will be updated on the official website

The photomarathon works in a unique way, requiring 12 photographs from each entrant over the 12 hour timespan.

With the topics being kept secret until the day, the event aims to bring out the creativity and unique improvisation of photographers.

"Since photomarathon launched in 2004, almost 2000 people have taken up the creative challenge. Between them, they've taken over 23,000 images."

"The 2011 Photomarathon will take place in Cardiff on Saturday June 11th starting at Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay. You will need to sign up online in advance, and all entrants will meet for registration on the morning of the 11th at WMC from 8.30am onwards. Full information will be provided to entrant prior to the event.

Last year, four hundred photographers took up the Photomarathon challenge and we’re looking forward to another exciting event this year.

An exhibition of all the photographs taken on the day will be held in the first floor exhibition space at the Cardiff Story, in the city’s Old Library on The Hayes in July/August."

All things Irish, St Patrick's Day in Cardiff
Cardiff Event Info

Irish Girls

CELEBRATE ALL THINGS IRISH THIS ST PATRICK’S DAY
AT O’NEILL’S CARDIFF

 

O’Neill’s pubs in Cardiff are busy preparing for their biggest event of the year ensuring partygoers expected at their Trinity Street and St Mary Street locations this St Patrick’s Day can raise a glass – or fork – to the much-loved patron saint of the Emerald isle.

Extra supplies of the legendary ‘black stuff’ and essential ingredients for the pub’s traditional Irish dishes have been ordered, so however you chose to celebrate on 17th March – whether it’s starting the day with an All Day Irish Breakfast, enjoying Irish Sausages & Colcannon for lunch or simply enjoying a glass of Guinness after work - you’re part of the worldwide celebrations.

Jane McKenna, manager of O’Neill’s Trinity Street said: “Every year our St Patrick’s Day party gets bigger and bigger, with people coming from all over Wales and beyond, to join in with our celebrations.

“This year will be no different, with live music and a variety of activities taking place throughout the week. There will be live Irish music at the Trinity Street O’Neill’s on the 16th, 17th and 18th, and a solo acoustic set plus a live Irish band at St. Mary Street on the 17th, so you don’t need to travel to Ireland to experience the famous craic – just head to O’Neill’s in Cardiff.”

Last year O’Neill’s Irish pubs poured over 85,000 pints of Guinness on St Patrick’s Day alone, with people celebrating all across the UK. For those wishing to try an alternative Irish favourite, both O’Neill’s in Cardiff will also be serving Smithwick’s Ale, Jameson Whiskey or Irish soft-drink Cidona.

Jane continued: “St Patrick’s Day promises to be one of the best events of the year. So grab your friends, get down to O’Neill’s on March 17th and enjoy the very best of Irish hospitality.”

Some fascinating facts:

  • O’Neill’s has 52 Irish pubs across the UK
  • On St Patrick’s Day 2011 there will be more than 45 live music events taking place at O’Neill’s locations across the UK
  • O’Neill’s expects to pour over 85,000 pints of Guinness this St Patrick’s Day
  • Over the last year 2 million pints of Guinness have been poured in O’Neill’s pubs

Google St. David's Day

The significance of St. David's Day

Dewi Sant – St. David was born towards the end of the fifth century. He was a scion of the royal house of Ceredigion, and founded a Celtic monastic community at Glyn Rhosin (The Vale of Roses) on the western headland of Sir Benfro, at the spot where St David's Cathedral stands today. David's fame as a teacher and ascetic spread throughout the Celtic world. His foundation at Glyn Rhosin became an important Christian shrine, and the most important centre in Wales. The date of Dewi Sant's death is recorded as 1 March, but the year is uncertain – possibly 588. As his tearful monks prepared for his death St David uttered these words: 'Brothers be ye constant. The yoke which with single mind ye have taken, bear ye to the end; and whatsoever ye have seen with me and heard, keep and fulfil'.

For centuries the first of March has been a national festival. St David was recognised as a national patron saint at the height of Welsh resistance to the Normans. St David's day was celebrated by the diaspora from an early period: the 17th century diarist Samuel Pepys noted how Welsh celebrations in London for St David's day would spark wider countercelebrations amongst their English neighbours: life-sized effigies of Welshmen were symbolically lynched, and by the 18th century the custom had arisen of confectioners producing 'Taffies' – gingerbread figures baked in the shape of a Welshman riding a goat - on St David's Day.

In 2003 in the United States, St. David's Day was recognised officially as the national day of the Welsh, and on 1 March the Empire State Building was floodlit in the national colours, red, green and white. It is invariably celebrated by Welsh societies throughout the world with dinners, parties, recitals and concerts.

To celebrate this day, people wear a symbol of either a leek, or daffodil. The leek arises from an occasion when a troop of Welsh were able to distinguish each other from a troop of English enemy dressed in similar fashion by wearing leeks. An alternative emblem developed in recent years is the daffodil.

In the poem Armes Prydain, composed in the early to mid-tenth century AD, the anonymous author prophesises that the Cymry (the Welsh people) will unite and join an alliance of fellow-Celts to repel the Anglo-Saxons, under the banner of St David: A lluman glân Dewi a ddyrchafant (And they will raise the pure banner of Dewi).
