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.

FESTIVAL NO 6 - PART ONE: Lost in the Woods Stage, Friday 8 September 2017

Horizons is back at Festival No 6 this year with a bespoke mix of new Welsh talent from all around Wales. You’ll also recognise some of the returning Horizons acts like Candelas, Roughion, Castles, and Climbing Trees alongside new acts nominated for the festival through our partnerships with BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru.

Campfire Social, 12-12.30pm

Hailing from Llangollen / Chester and celebrating the forthcoming release of their first collection of studio tracks ‘Wellbeing EP’, indie-pop 5 piece Campfire Social are a refuge from the wild woods all around. Their incandescent, melodic songs take the intimate heartbreak of Elliott Smith and embellish with golden harmonies borrowed from The Beach Boys. At times getting you up off your chairs in a passionate rage, at others just to dance but always filled with hope.

Griff Lynch, 12.45 - 1.15pm

As a member of influential Welsh psych pop band ‘Yr Ods’, Griff Lynch has done most of what an exclusively Welsh language artist can do. Headlined 'Maes B’ 3 or 4 times and played every Welsh festival from Swn festival to Green Man. Yr Ods whirled through the cliches, on a minority language scale.

Griff’s first attempt at 'the solo project’ comes from a very different place. It’s DIY. It’s a bit dark, a bit depressing, a bit bilingual, but essentially, a bit Poppy. Pop from the left. It seems that boredom, despair, deaths and breakups can sometimes be quite sweet on the ear. Even in Welsh.

Adwaith, 1.30-2.00pm

Adwaith have always existed. They have been there since the sixties, through Roxy Music’s filthy glitter, and within the glorious chaos of punk and its post-punk offspring. Now the relevant stars have aligned, Adwaith have been made physical in the form of Gwenllian Anthony (Bass, Mandolin), Hollie Singer (Vocals, Guitar) and Heledd Owen (Drums). 

Kidsmoke, 2.15-2.45pm

Formed in 2013 in Wrexham, North Wales, Kidsmoke consists of: Lance Williams (Vocals/Guitar), James Stickels on (Bass/Vocals), Sophie Ballamy on (Guitar/Vocals) and Ash Turner (Drums). Singles from their 3rd EP 'Save Your Sorrow’ have made it onto the airwaves nationwide, including BBC Radio 6 Music, Amazing Radio, Radio X and a live session on BBC Radio Wales with Janice Long.

The four-piece note The Smiths, The Beatles, Wild Nothing and Real Estate among their influences and have garnered a reputation for producing well-crafted, harmony-filled indie-pop nuggets with a dynamic, well polished live-presence to boot.

Palomino Party, 3-3.30pm

Palomino Party are an electrifying art-rock band who reminisce in old-world glamour. Front man Linford Hydes is a rare performer who has the ability to create entire worlds which listeners can retreat and seek refuge. Hydes possess a charisma and theatricality akin to his celebrated Pop/Rock predecessors David Bowie, Kate Bush and Boy George. Recognised in their home-town as the go-to live band for escapism and pure pleasure, Palomino Party deliver theatre, romance and songs that need to be danced to.
