Special relationship

Is it really four years ago that Public Service Broadcasting arrived at the Cardiff University Students Union to perform songs from Every Valley, their LP about the rise and painful decline of the coal industry in South Wales, and left every single person in the room with a smile on their face and something in their eye?

On Sunday they kick off a UK tour at the same venue, this time in support of a record inspired by a very different location, Berlin. Being a PSB release, Bright Magic draws as much on the city's connection to the history and development of the lightbulb as it does on its rich musical and cultural heritage.

Here's my Buzz preview of a show I (very regrettably) won't be at.
