August 30th Bank Holiday Monday. BJORN BELIEF  - Abba Tribute band doing all the hits of ABBA and more. A show not to miss, and in our Memorial hall. Doors open 7.15p.m. show starts 8.00p.m. Tickets are £7.00 and can be bought at Cliffside Newsagents and at the door on night. Licensed bar.

ABBA 2 BJORN BELIEF for the last 8 years, have been at the forefront of quality tribute entertainment. The fact that the original members are still performing together promises a slick and professional show. Apart from a fabulous sound that is as close to the original sound that you will hear, we have developed a unique humour which makes it probably the most entertaining band in the UK. Lorraine and Tina are consummate singers who sound remarkably like the real thing, and their onstage chemistry delights the audience and soon has them laughing as belief that they are not ABBA is suspended after the third song. Colin and Peter are fantastic musicians who between them have played with some of our musical heroes over the years such as The Bee Gees, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Tyler, Dolly Parton (the real ones!), and also session work for Jimmy Nail, Cilla Black, Sir Les Patterson and even Max Boyce!

August 30th, 2010 - Aberaeron Bank Holiday Carnival. Probably one of the best carnivals in Wales with plenty of jazz from the Adamant Jazz band. Parade starts outside the Harbourmaster Hotel 13:30.

September 11th - Llanbadarn Fawr Agricultural Show at the church hall.
