The Bear 12:30 – 11pm (Free Events)

New for 2017 – Literature:

The C.I.F. is incredibly lucky to have John Williams, Cardiff novelist and founder of the Laugharne Weekend in Wales, to curate this new literature section of the festival.  John will be interviewing and hosting Q&A sessions with these fabulous authors:

1pm Daniel Rachel

Daniel Rachel’s book ‘Walls Come Tumbling Down’ is an exhaustive account of the Rock Against Racism, 2 Tone and Red Wedge movements. In April it won the Penderyn Music Book Prize.

2pm James Brown

Ex NME and Loaded journalist talking about his book on Five A Side football ‘Above Head Height’

3pm Travis Elborough

Travis Elborough is the author of four acclaimed books, and regularly appears on Radio 4. His new book ‘A Walk In The Park’ has been described as ‘A fascinating, informative, revelatory book’ by William Boyd in The Guardian. Parks are such a familiar part of everyday life. You might be forgiven for thinking they have always been there – and that they always will.
