Not to get all Cardiff-centric, but hey, International Women’s Day brings a lot of treats if you happen to be around the Welsh capital over the next week or so. Look at the gig-stuffed selection below: particular highlights would be abrasively ace hollerers Drunk Granny, hot ex-Pipette action in the Indelicates, and in Paper Aeroplanes, some really rather lovely hushed folkiness. For more, more, more, have a squizz at www.internationalwomensday.org
