Clwb Ifor Bach, Music venue and nightclub in Cardiff, Wales
Clwb Ifor Bach is a music venue housed in a three-story building on Womanby Street in central Cardiff with multiple performance spaces. The spaces can accommodate different-sized crowds for everything from concerts to comedy shows and club nights.
The venue was established in 1983 and grew out of a former British Legion club into a Welsh language center. This transformation made it a place that supports both new and seasoned musicians.
The venue serves as a gathering place for Welsh speakers in Cardiff's music community and shapes the social rhythm of the city through regular programming. This meeting point holds meaning for locals as a central hub in their everyday lives.
The venue is located centrally in Cardiff and is easy to reach on foot, with a constantly changing program of different music genres and event types. It is helpful to check what kind of event is scheduled before visiting, since the atmosphere can vary quite a bit.
The name comes from a Welsh leader from the 12th century who resisted English rule. The venue has also served as a launching pad for now-famous bands who played some of their earliest shows here.
