"A festival of live music, food and entertainment" on a sunny Saturday in the Welsh capital’s castle – what could be better? Depot started as a pop-up venue at, you guessed it, a depot in the city's Dumballs Road in 2015 but it’s now become a mainstay and has a permanent home off Curran Embankment. But its fifth birthday saw it take over the castle for a big old shindig with one of its summer of live events.
The headliner was due to be Rag 'n' Bone man with the other eye-catching acts for 90s fiends like me being Faithless, Mel C, and Toploader, whose CDs were a staple of my school days. Others were Ian Davies, Gracey, Lola Young, Alfie Templeton.
Unfortunately at the last minute Rag 'n' Bone Man had to pull out due to illness so, as well as Sister Bliss’ DJ set, Craig David performed his TS5 set with a mix of DJing and singing. Any fears we had earlier in the night they would be too samey were soon disproved.
