Patterns

Boot and Spleen makes a statement, both sonically and in its message. Inspired by the dark history of British colonialism in India, it asks the question: “What is it to be British? What's that identity now, in 2019? What sort of behaviours are allowed towards minorities, or from minorities towards the majority?”
There’s no simple answer to those questions but Melt Yourself Down are set to ignite debate by asking them. Founded by sax innovator Pete Wareham and fronted by lead vocalist Kush Gaya, they play into a great tradition of British insurgents that spans decades and genres, from the Sex Pistols to Radiohead, and from Kate Tempest to Young Fathers. Yet the band’s lineage is also connected to jazz’s rich history of sticking a middle finger to The Man. “Jazz was the wild, dirty music of the 20s, 30s,” says Kush. “It was not a sit down, polite, experience.” Pete adds: “I love jazz best when it feels dangerous.”

This new music is the band’s strongest statement yet, representing both a peak of musical synthesis for the band as well as a personal triumph. Working with production legends Youth and Ben Hillier, the band have reimagined themselves and created a bruising re-up of their signature sound with added synths, anthems and epic joyrides.

“So much has changed in the world since we started writing in 2016” says Pete. “We couldn’t ignore any of it and this new music is borne from our feelings of cultural restlessness in this constantly shifting global climate”.
Melt Yourself Down have firmly cemented themselves at the forefront of today’s music innovators. The desire to create new sonic pathways is an integral philosophy to the band, whose two critically-lauded albums to date have alchemised influences from Noisy No Wave to Nubian Rhythms to create an eclectic, high energy and pan-global kind of punk rock.
Showcasing the prolific talents of saxophonist Pete Wareham, Melt Yourself Down rose from the ashes of his previous outfit Acoustic Ladyland and from everything he learned with Polar Bear. His work in reinventing and defying musical genres has paved the way for acts such as Comet is Coming, Black Flower and mercury prize nominated Sons of Kemet, to name a handful.

With their increasingly attuned sense to the world around them and each other, more people than ever will undoubtably be embracing the new sound of Melt Yourself Down.

Venue is located in a basement down a set of stairs without step free access.

The series of new singles in 2019 has been the band’s strongest statement yet, representing both a peak of musical synthesis for the band as well as a personal triumph.

COVID REGULATION

From 11 October a Covid pass will be required by law to attend all events at Clwb Ifor Bach (including Sŵn Festival) if you are over 18yrs old.
A Covid Pass allows you to provide proof of any of following:

- That you are double vaccinated against Covid 19
- That you have received a negative Lateral Flow Test result within the past 48 hours
- That you have natural immunity against Covid 19

A Covid Pass (or proof of your Covid status) can be done in any of the following ways:

- Digital solution such as the NHS Covid Pass
- A paper-based certification of vaccination (e.g NHS Covid Pass Letter)
- Confirmation of a negative test result by text or email.
- We cannot accept vaccine cards issued at vaccination centres as proof of vaccination.

The easiest way to to prove your Covid status would be to download the NHS Covid Pass. It can be accessed via a smartphone, tablet or computer, which will produce a 2D machine readable barcode that can be:

- Opened and shown on a phone

- Downloaded into the Apple or Google wallet

- Downloaded as a PDF download that can be shown on a smartphone, tablet screen or printed by a customer

Further information on how to download the Covid pass or prove your vaccination status can be found here - https://gov.wales/nhs-covid-pass-prove-your-vaccination-status
If you have a smartphone and want to download the pass into your digital wallet then it will be quicker to do the whole process on your phone.
Make sure you follow through on the full verification process as this increases the amount of time the Pass remains valid.
Keep an eye on the expiry date. If it is nearly expired simply log into the link above again, and as long as your are double vaccinated it will automatically increase the validation period for your pass.
For those who are double vaccinated and have done the full verification process for the Pass you will only need to update the validation period once a month. it only takes a minute and is hassle free.
Save yourself some stress on your next night out and get this sorted today!


Non UK Residents FAQs


EU citizens will need to provide an EU covid certificate or a negative lateral flow test to enter. The NHS verifier app will be able to scan EU covid certificate.
US citizens will need to provide a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccination card plus confirmation of Identification or a negative lateral flow test to enter
All other attendees will need to provide proof of a negative lateral flow tests

Exemption FAQs

Welsh Government are aware that there are a very small number of people in Wales who are not able to receive a vaccination or able to take a lateral flow test. They are working to develop and design a digital system which will automatically update the covid pass so that the exemptions are recorded on the system and the pass will read as valid or eligible to enter a venue or event.
However, that is not available at the current time and is unlikely to be available for 11 October. On this basis, the venue or event should recognise the exemption and allow that individual to be allowed entry. In these circumstance, venues will not be required to consider evidence of the exemption.

Pàs Covid

O 11 Hydref ymlaen, bydd angen pàs Covid er mwyn mynd i bob digwyddiad yng Nghlwb Ifor Bach (gan gynnwys Gŵyl Sŵn) yn gyfreithiol os ydych chi dros 18 oed.
Mae Pàs Covid yn caniatáu i chi ddangos tystiolaeth o un o’r canlynol:

- Eich bod wedi cael dau frechlyn yn erbyn Covid 19
- Eich bod wedi cael canlyniad Prawf Llif Unffordd negyddol yn y 48 awr diwethaf
- Bod gennych imiwnedd naturiol yn erbyn Covid 19

Mae modd cael Pàs Covid (neu brawf o’ch statws Covid) drwy un o’r ffyrdd canlynol:

- Dull digidol fel Pàs Covid y GIG
- Copi caled o dystysgrif brechu (e.e. Llythyr Pàs Covid y GIG)
- Cadarnhad o brawf negyddol drwy neges destun neu e-bost.
- Allwn ni ddim derbyn y cardiau brechu sy’n cael eu rhoi mewn canolfannau brechu fel prawf o frechu.

Y ffordd hawsaf o brofi eich statws Covid fyddai lawrlwytho Pàs Covid y GIG. Mae modd cael mynediad at y pàs drwy ffôn clyfar, llechen neu gyfrifiadur, a bydd yn creu cod bar y mae modd ei ddarllen gyda pheiriant 2D. Yna, gallwch:

- Ei agor a’i ddangos ar ffôn

- Ei lawrlwytho i waled Apple neu Google

- Ei lawrlwytho fel dogfen PDF i’w dangos ar ffôn clyfar, sgrin llechen neu ei hargraffu gan y cwsmer

Mae rhagor o wybodaeth am sut i lawrlwytho pàs Covid neu brofi eich statws brechu ar gael yma - https://llyw.cymru/pas-covid-y-gig-dangoswch-eich-statws-brechu
Os oes gennych ffôn clyfar a’ch bod yn dymuno lawrlwytho’r pàs i’ch waled ddigidol, yna byddai’n haws gwneud y broses gyfan ar eich ffôn.
Gwnewch yn siŵr eich bod chi’n dilyn pob cam o’r broses ddilysu, gan y bydd hyn yn cynyddu am ba mor hir bydd y pàs yn ddilys.
Cadwch lygad ar y dyddiad dod i ben. Os yw’r dyddiad bron â dod i ben, cliciwch ar y ddolen uchod a mewngofnodi unwaith eto, ac os ydych chi wedi cael y ddau frechlyn, bydd yn cynyddu cyfnod dilys eich pàs yn awtomatig.
Os ydych chi wedi cael dau frechlyn ac wedi gwneud y broses ddilysu lawn ar gyfer y Pàs, dim ond unwaith y mis y bydd angen i chi ddiweddaru’r cyfnod dilysu yma. Dim ond munud mae’n cymryd, ac mae’n syml iawn.
Gwnewch hyn heddiw er mwyn osgoi ffwdan ar eich noson allan nesaf!


Cwestiynau Cyffredin i Bobl o du allan i Brydain


Bydd angen i ddinasyddion yr Undeb Ewropeaidd ddangos Tystysgrif Covid yr UE neu brawf llif unffordd negyddol er mwyn cael mynediad. Mae ap dilysu’r GIG yn gallu sganio Tystysgrif Covid yr UE.

Bydd angen i ddinasyddion yr Unol Daleithiau ddangos cerdyn brechu Canolfan Rheoli ac Atal Clefydau yr Unol Daleithiau ynghyd â Cherdyn Adnabod, neu brawf llif unffordd negyddol, er mwyn cael mynediad.
Bydd angen i bawb arall ddangos tystiolaeth o brawf llif unffordd negyddol.

Cwestiynau Cyffredin am Eithriadau

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru’n ymwybodol bod nifer fach iawn o bobl yng Nghymru yn methu â chael brechiad neu’n methu â gwneud prawf llif unffordd. Maen nhw’n gweithio i ddylunio a datblygu system ddigidol a fydd yn diweddaru’r Pàs Covid yn awtomatig, fel bod eithriadau’n cael eu cofnodi ar y system, a bydd y pàs yn dangos eu bod yn ddilys neu’n gymwys i fynd i mewn i safle neu ddigwyddiad.
Serch hynny, dydy hyn ddim ar gael ar hyn o bryd, ac mae’n annhebygol o fod ar gael erbyn 11 Hydref. Ar y sail yma, dylai’r safle neu’r digwyddiad gydnabod yr eithriad, a chaniatáu i’r unigolyn yna gael mynediad. Yn y sefyllfa yma, ni fydd angen i’r safle weld tystiolaeth o’r eithriad.
