Newport's Fire and Ice is bringing clubbing to daylight hours
Fire and Ice, one of the newer additions to the scene, has the answer: daytime clubbing.
Crowds can really get into the spirit during daytime clubbing (Image: Supplied) This summer, the bar is offering a series of 'daytime gatherings' to customers, each with its own popular theme for punters to enjoy.
These daytime events take place on Saturday afternoons and with upcoming events including anything from a country theme to an ABBA party, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
The building is no doubt familiar to Newport locals, having closed not too long ago under a different name. But the building is back in use, with the same foundations but an entirely new positive mood. Fire and Ice don't want you to forget about the memories of the past, they only want to add to what we will look back on in the future.
Daytime clubbing brings a wide range of people together (Image: Supplied) Aside from these daytime events, Fire and Ice offers up karaoke and live music performances on their stage, giving customers the option to perform or simply watch the professionals take to the stage.
They aim to make their establishment welcoming for everyone, with a range of happy hour and drink options making their bar affordable for everyone, and rooms to suit all music tastes. They label themselves as a 'hybrid venue' with a range of rooms that follow different themes. They range from the 'Tiki' room that brings house music to the people of Newport, to the 'unplugged' room, which features only the best alternative and rock music.
DJs entertain crowds all day until the early hours (Image: Supplied) The venue even features a 'barcade' complete with classic arcade machines and dartboards to bring out the best of their customers' competitive streaks.
The main aim over the coming weeks is to bring generations together through a shared love of music, memory, and summer fun, all thanks to their special daytime events that evoke the 'fire' of youthful adventure and the 'ice' of chilled memories that never fail to make us smile.

Drum and pipe band bring twist as Drumlanrig Castle hosts country fair
Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is hosting the 13th year of Galloway Country Fair. Running next weekend, from August 9 to August 10, there will also be a stunt show and live music. Sarah Richardson, marketing manager, said: 'There is so much on within one weekend. 'We get 12,000 people coming over the weekend. It is very family friendly, great for couples, or for friends which creates such a diverse audience.' READ MORE: More than half of voters would back Remain if Brexit referendum held again – poll There will be a live music performance on the Saturday night by Drums N' Roses, a Scottish drum and pipe band, who return for another year after first performing at the fair last year. Formed around 20 years ago, they travel around playing at different occasions such as weddings, parties and community events as they challenge the perception that piping is stuck in the past. Danny Hutcheson, who has been a piper with the band since 2018, said: 'We are a bagpipe and drum band that play modern music from Mamma Mia by Abba to Shut Up And Dance by Walk The Moon.' Hutcheson has been a part of the band ever since he stood in for someone once who was unable to make an event. On performing at the fair, he said: 'I've been excited ever since we got the shout to return. 'We're going down early to soak it all in and chill before our performance. I am buzzing for it, and the people who have not been before are excited to see it.

'We want to have a celebration where people can party, drink, have a fun time and enjoy themselves.' Preparation for the fair started as far back as January as a part of a big team effort to get everything organised ahead of the weekend. There will be a falconry display with Mark French, a ferret show by Simon Whitehead, and a stunt show by the Stannage Stunt Team. A demo kitchen set up by Nick Morris from Station House Cookery School returns for another year where he will be serving up many tasters throughout the weekend. Also returning for 2025 is Betty's Bake Off, where people are welcome to compete in a friendly competition with prizes arranged for some lucky entrants. Sunday will see children's favourite Road Runner take to the Galloway Country Fair stage. There is also an entertainment zone for children which features mini quads, bouncy castles, an assault course, laser quest, bumper cars, a bungee trampoline and a giant inflatable fun course. For the adults, there is axe throwing and an adult assault course. Dogs are also more than welcome, with water stations and paddling pools in the grounds to help cool canine friends. Cash For Kids, which supports children in need across the region, is the charity partner and some money from Saturday's bingo show, the programme, bake off and dog shows goes towards supporting it, as well as a stall set up on site. While the event attracts locals, Local people come back each year but also people from as far as Cumbria and Fife make the journey to the fair. It all gets started at 10am on the Saturday until 6pm and then again on the Sunday from 10am until 5pm. Tickets are available on now with people also able to buy entry on the day. Various onsite accommodation is available for visitors.

Dressing gown-clad Bishop who told choir to get out of his house and stop their 'terrible racket' was also the vicar at the church when a 'blasphemous' satanic-style fashion show took place
The dressing gown-clad Bishop who told a choir to stop their 'terrible racket' was the vicar at a historic church when it held a 'blasphemous' fashion show featuring satanic images. Models wearing devil horns and displaying upside-down crosses paraded down the aisle-turned-catwalk of St Andrew Holborn church for a London Fashion Week event in 2017. A former Bishop said at the time that the 'satanic' aspect of the show was 'not acceptable', adding: 'Christ's name is being dishonoured, it is blasphemous.' And theologian Dr Adrian Hilton wrote of the event: 'How is it possible that a sacred space can be used for what can only be described as Lucifer lauding? How does hosting a Satanic Fashion Show glorify God?' The show was highlighting the work of controversial Turkish designer Dilara Findikoglu, whose creations have been worn by celebrities including singer Rihanna. In a statement at the time, the church said: 'We took this booking in good faith and were not aware of the content or design before the show took place' Bishop of Fulham Jonathan Baker, who was the vicar of the 1,000-year-old church at the time, didn't comment on the fashion show and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing. But the church was forced to admit it had made a 'mistake' in allowing the show which did 'not reflect the Christian faith of the Church'. Bishop Jonathan, who is still the vicar at St Andrew, once again found himself at the centre of controversy last weekend after he told a choir to stop their 'terrible racket' and get out of his house. The City Academy Voices choir was coming to the end of their performance at St Andrew on Friday night when the barefooted Bishop took to the stage and grabbed a microphone to tell bemused performers and a 300-strong audience to leave. Social media footage of the altercation - which has been viewed more than 500,000 times - shows Bishop Jonathan telling the choir: 'You are in my house. It's gone past 10pm and this is a terrible racket.' 'Goodnight. You are in my house - can you leave it now please. Thank you, it's over.' A church employee then asked the crowd to leave quietly and the musicians to depart the stage because 'this is a residential home', attracting boos and jeers from the audience. Before leaving the choir performed one final song - an a cappella version of ABBA's Dancing Queen - to cheers and applause from the crowd. The choir was performing a special summer concert last Friday and had booked the venue, which is available to hire, having used it previously with no issue. The performing arts academy which runs the choir said the venue had been booked until 11pm - almost a full hour after the concert was interrupted - and that it had 'received a full apology which we have accepted'. Meanwhile a member of the choir said that Bishop Jonathan had been 'hovering' and 'glowering' in the wings for half an hour before asking the choir and crowd to leave as he 'obviously just didn't like us being in 'his house''. The choir member added: 'He was hovering - glowering - in his dressing gown in the doorway from 9:30… he didn't seem terribly rational.' Benedict Collins, who was attending the concert with his 10-year-old daughter and has been to all of the choir's previous performances at the church, said that concertgoers who paid £20 for a ticket had not received an explanation or apology. He told the Mail: 'It's ridiculous, they're happy to take the money, they don't give this place up for free. It's a commercial venue and they rent it out as a commercial agreement. 'It seems like the only person affected is the Bishop and he chooses to rent the thing out doesn't he. It's all rather ridiculous. 'His complaint was that this was a residential site, well it's the site of his residence and he chooses to rent it out as a concert venue.' Mr Collins added: 'But I don't think anyone is bitterly upset, either in the choir or in the audience. We'll talk about it for the next ten years. 'And If this Bishop was having a bad day then I'm sorry for him and I really hope it blows over quickly.' Before he became the Bishop of Fulham, the Right Revd Jonathan Baker was previously made Bishop of Ebbsfleet by former Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams despite being a Freemason. This marked a significant U-turn by Dr Williams who had previously said that Freemasonry was 'incompatible' with Christianity and had refused to promote Masons to senior posts. Rising to the rank of Deputy Grand Chaplain, after initially refusing to leave the Masons Bishop Jonathan changed his mind and in 2011 said he would leave so he could concentrate on being a bishop. The Bishop of Fulham declined to comment when approached by the Daily Mail at the St Andrew vicarage and the diocese of London did not respond to a request for comment. At the weekend a diocese spokesman said: 'Bishop Jonathan reached out to the organisers on Saturday to apologise for his late-night appearance at the concert, which he now understands had overrun due to earlier technical difficulties.'
