This week's new events

Dinefwr Literature Festival , Llandeilo Celebrating not only Welsh writing talent, but wordsmiths worldwide, and from the worlds of comedy and song too, the lineup here is as sharp as a gag one-liner. Howard Marks, Josie Long, Emmy The Great, Julian Cope and Iain Sinclair are among the highlights, with added delights in the shape of a real-life outing for the popular pastoral Caught By The River blog and saltpeter theatre's Brautigan Book Club, which celebrates the work of American writer Richard Brautigan in aptly offbeat style. Dinefwr Park & Castle, Fri to 1 Jul Katrina Dixon Africa Oyé , Liverpool This tribute to African music and culture has grown from tiny gigs to a full-on weekend festival over the last 20 years and is now one of the biggest African jamborees in the UK. There are food, craft and fashion stalls aplenty, but the biggest draw is the music and the dancing, with appearances from the Rasites, Yaaba Funk and the Endless Journey. Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra have links with both Fela and Fema Kuti, Jaliba Kuyateh showcases the sounds of Gambia and Brinsley Forde of Aswad and the Double Deckers fame brings his acclaimed roots reggae. Sefton Park, Sat, Sun Iain Aitch Exhibition Road Music Day , London From sound loops based on the "white noise" of the wind in Patagonia to the world premiere of a new work by Booker Prize-winning author DBC Pierre in collaboration with folk band Bellowhead, this year's Music Day reaches far beyond the traditional parameters of musical performance.
