Wyeside Arts Centre - and Curry

No sooner have I said that there's nowhere to get a sit down curry in Hay than the Wheatsheaf advertises a Curry Night!
They've done it before, in the run up to Christmas, and this one will be on Thursday17th Jan.

Meanwhile, the Wyeside Arts Centre seems to be in deep trouble. It's in Builth Wells, but it's still reasonably local if you want to see a show or a film. Coming up in February, for instance, there's the Pink Floyd tribute band Darkside, a stand up comedy night, Rodney Bewes doing his one man show based on Jerome K Jerome's Three Men in a Boat, Theatr Powys doing Little Red Riding Hood, Moishe's Bagel (Eastern European folk), and Buddy Holly and the Cricketers. That's quite a wide variety for a smallish rural venue, and if it was forced to close down, it would be a great loss to Mid Wales.
That seems to be on the cards, though. It's been run on a shoe string for years, and now the Arts Council of Wales is seriously considering cutting funding still further. The decision will be made on 25th January.
