WELSH MUSIC TAKES OFF WITH LAUNCHPAD!

A total of 34 talented artists and bands from across Wales have been successful in their bid for a music bursary worth a total of £35,000.

The Launchpad fund, part of the BBC Wales and Arts Council of Wales’ Horizons scheme to develop new contemporary music in Wales received over 175 applications from across Wales.

Since its inception in 2014, Horizons and the Launchpad fund has been granted to over 135 artists, from over 50 towns, across 20 counties in Wales.

This year, the 34 successful artists applied for the funding to help support a range of ideas, from hiring rehearsal space to working with talented producers and recording professionally.

From the diverse mix of applications, many will be supported in their creative work with the fund enabling them to utilise studio time, specially commissioned photography and artwork, promotion of releases, equipment, video production and touring costs.

Singer-Songwriter Dan Bettridge Is The Latest Artist To “Sign Up” To V4Velindre

I’ve been writing about Welsh music for a decade now, and I must have seen Dan play live the best part of a dozen times. Hearing his monumental single “Third Eye Blind” for the first time is something I will never forget. Dan’s double album Asking For Trouble sustained that brilliance over 16 tracks and was my redsoapbox album of the year in 2018. I am absolutely delighted that Dan Bettridge is contributing a track to V4Velindre in support of the NHS.

From the minute that we are born our lives intersect with the National Health Service. We all have stories (happy and sad) of the crucial role the NHS plays in our very existence. Nothing, though, could have prepared us for the sacrifice that NHS staff all over the country made to keep us safe during the COVID pandemic. Just between March 2020 and December 2020 883 NHS staff members died from COVID doing their duty and so much more. As the NHS, and the nation, seeks to rebuild in the wake of the pandemic we need to come together and make our contribution. As Nye Bevan famously said, ‘the NHS will last only as long as there’s folk with faith left to fight for it’. That fight comes in many measures – some will work for the NHS, some will vote for the NHS, some will protest for the NHS, and some will help finance its upkeep through jumble sales and sponsored walks. Please consider purchasing V4Velindre, every single penny of the proceedings that comes to me from the sale of this album will be passed straight to the Velindre Cancer Centre. A huge thank you to all the artists involved in V4Velindre who decided to fight for the NHS by creating and donating.
