Having recently commemorated 20 years on air, BBC 6 Music, in keeping with their ethos of always looking forward, has already moved on to the next thing.

After a two-year break, the festival returns to live action with a maiden visit to Cardiff; the Great Hall, ordinarily the Student Union for Cardiff University, is the main hub for this year’s event, with Saturday’s trio of acts all previewing new material.

beabadoobee opens proceedings, although the Filipino-British songwriter largely plays things safe with only one track from forthcoming album Beatopia included in the set.

New single Talk sits comfortably within her diverse canon, as the songs included only have one common denominator: her lilting, near-angelic voice which masks a steely under-current.
