Buzz flies media flag for South Wales comedy

Out now ... a splendid new edition of South Wales ents and leisure mag Buzz. Catch it electronically by clicking here.
Comedian Paul Merton appears on the cover. That's convenient as the Media Master will be taking in his forthcoming improv show at the Grand Theatre, Swansea. Shame it clashes with the Taliesin showing of Ian Dury biopic Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll ... but you can't have it all ways.
Illustrating how live comedy is doing remarkably good business at the moment, there are also features on the likes of Reginald D Hunter, Katy Brand, Rhod Gilbert and the Machynlleth Comedy Festival.
In other fields, there's a healthy preview for the annual Mumbles Mostly Blues and Jazz Festival, an exceptionally tempting ad inviting us all to see modmeisters The Lambrettas in The Rhondda and - thanks to an Andy Pearson Publicity press release - a pleasing mention of The Storys' final gig in Swansea this summer.
Buzz is a beacon of quality in the South Wales ents market. Keep up the good work, all concerned!

New Buzz for Swansea Bay style folk

Fine South Wales lifestyle mag Buzz is offering free digital subscriptions. Go to http://bit.ly/csfwBo.
Well worth it in my book - even though it's a few years since I was down with the youth.
Although the publication's based in Cardiff, it does support the ents and leisure scene in its south Wales hinterlands, Swansea Bay included.
It's hard to believe, but it's be going for 18+ years and does a spiffing job with its coverage of art, theatre, music, clubs, fashion and sport.
Buzz models itself as "the biggest, funkiest and sexiest publication in the region" and they've got a few good reasons to do that.
At the last count, it was circulating around 25,000 copies to outlets such as information centres, hotels, clubs and bars across the capital, Newport, Swansea, the Valleys, Gwent, Neath and Port Talbot.
