Gerry Cinnamon makes his triumphant return to the Welsh capital on Jubilee weekend as he performs in front of his legion of fans within the historic surroundings of Cardiff Castle. The Scottish singer is no stranger to the city, having performed at venues such as the Tramshed and the Motorpoint Arena in the past.
It will be one of two gigs he plays in South Wales that weekend, heading to Cardiff on the back of another huge gig at Singleton Park in Swansea the night before. It comes on the back of the success of his second album 'The Bonny', which shot straight to Number 1 in the Official Album Charts in the UK. His live performances are particularly popular, and he has built up a legion of fans in a short period of time.
