The music of Miles Davis and a mountaineer entertain Cardigan’s Mwldan audiences this month.

On Friday, 13 November (7.30pm) 7Steps present some of the classics associated with Miles Davis, including So What, All Blues and Milestones as well as some of the less well-known songs from Miles vast catalogue. 

2026 is the centenary year of Miles Davis’ birth, and 7Steps will perform the music of one of the towering figures of twentieth century music. The evening’s musicians include Joe Northwood on tenor sax, pianist Dave Jones, Paula Gardiner on bass, Mark O’ Connor on drums, and trumpeter Tomos Williams.

On Saturday 14 November (7.30pm) Simon Yates’ ‘My Mountain Life’ brings high-altitude adventure to the stage, captivating theatregoers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. 

On the remote Siula Grande in Peru in June 1985, the mountaineer found himself in a desperately unenviable position. He was slowly being pulled off the mountain face by his injured partner, Joe Simpson, dangling on the rope 50 metres below.

His decision to cut the rope saved both their lives in the epic tale of survival that followed. With the publication of the book ‘Touching The Void’, which later became a film and stage play, both climbers became household names. It was an experience that could have put many off mountaineering - but not Simon. Over 35 years later, he is still a very active exploratory climber and guide, making several expeditions to the mountains each year. From the Arctic to the Antarctic, Alaska to Central Asia, there is hardly a significant range that he has not visited. 

Witness Simon’s tireless journey from that mountain in Peru to some of the remotest on the planet and share with him the drama, excitement and beauty of modern, lightweight alpinism, told with wit, dry humour and lavishly illustrated with images and film footage collected on his great climbs.
