Oasis fans quizzed on Welsh translations to band's most famous songs

Guess The Oasis Song By Its Welsh Translation
Oasis fans have had their Welsh language skills put to the test, after being quizzed on whether they know what some of their favourite band's songs are translated as.
In the spirit of the band's long awaited return being in Wales, our reporters took to the streets ahead of Noel and Liam Gallagher's first performance at the Principality Stadium, to ask whether fans could guess the song by its Welsh translation.
Many managed to identify seren roc a rôl as being the translation for rock and roll star, and sigaréts ac alcohol as Cigarettes and Alcohol, but some found siampên uwchnofa, or Champagne Supernova, a bit trickier.
Beth yw stori? gogoniant y bore, or, What's the Story? Morning Glory, and wal ryfeddod, or Wonderwall, were also considered difficult.
The eyes of the world were on the Welsh capital last night as Oasis officially marked their return to the stage after 16 years apart.
Its first show in Cardiff was performed in front of 62,000 people, and they have 40 more gigs to a combined audience of 2.6 million to go.
The positive feedback from fans has been overwhelming after their first performance from both fans and critics alike.
National news publications have all given the gig five stars in reviews.
Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot.
Viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly.
Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.

First-ever Welsh Pizza Festival to take place in Abergavenny
The first-ever Welsh Pizza Festival will take place in the historic courtyards of St Mary's Priory Church on September 20 and 21, with plans to turn the church into a hub of hospitality and shared experience. The event is a collaboration between freelance project manager Dan Thomas, Lee Hammond of the Towpath Inn in Gilwern, and St Mary's Priory Church. Mr Thomas said: "Having moved back home to Wales three years ago, I'm passionate about delivering distinctive events to the local community that can be enjoyed on your doorstep." The festival will showcase some of the region's top pizza makers, including Maggie & Mo's from south west Wales, Ballers from Cardiff, Pig's Pizza from Cheltenham and Bristol, and Niche Pizza from the Towpath Inn in Gilwern. Guests will be able to sample a variety of traditional and inventive pizzas in a relaxed, music-filled setting. Mr Hammond said: "I've been trying to get into pizza festivals in London for years, not even a reply. "It's like Wales doesn't exist on a map. So I did what any stubborn Welsh pizza maker would do… I started my own. "I'm genuinely over the moon to have a team and sponsors onboard that share the same vision, to bring a proper celebration of pizza to our corner of Wales, on our terms." The festival is free to attend, with VIP bookings available for a more exclusive experience.

Here's what we drank at the Spirit of Wales distillery in Newport
The Spirit of Wales distillery located on the Maesglas Industrial Estate prides itself on being 'uniquely Newport.' Trays of drinks at the Spirit of Wales distillery (Image: NQ) Run by a small team of six the distillery's spirit tasting nights offers visitors a chance to sample some of their award winning locally produced drinks. Their website reads: 'Inspired by the landscapes, people, and the industry surrounding us, we invite you on a flavour journey that pays tribute to the Welsh passion.' Here's what was up for grabs when we went to one of their tasting sessions on a Friday night. We arrived at the distillery bang on 7pm and soon enough the vodka was cracked open. However, this wasn't just any vodka this was their special 'Steeltown' vodka. A Steeltown Vodka shot at the Spirit of Wales distillery (Image: NQ) The 40% proof vodka was served chilled straight in a shot glass so consumers could see if it agreed with their palette. According to our host the vodka's taste differs based on the temperature it's served at. Our shot was paired with a mixer of choice lemonade or coke. The majority of the tasters selected coke. This, in my opinion, went down much smoother for my palette. Dragons' Breath rum at the Spirit of Wales distillery (Image: NQ) Another memorable drink that was served was the distillery's famed 'Dragons Breath' rum. Weighing in at a whopping 49% proof, the rum contained at least 40 botanicals. Ingredients like black pepper, honey, lime coconut and paprika gave the drink a fiery taste. Tasters enjoyed the rum with ginger beer to enhance its naturally warm flavours which was well received. Another crowd pleaser was the distillery's Steeltown Welsh Dry Gin. At 43% proof tasters enjoyed the combination of sparky fresh lemon peel aromas mixed with orris root and rosemary.

Alongside this many refillable shots were up for grabs. Strawberry whiskey, coffee liqueur and raspberry and passionfruit shots The tasting session officially came to a close at 9pm. At £20 per person for a night of bubbly entertainment and merry drinking what's not the love?
