Music Scene Wales have been working hard in the background organising our next step which will be moving into live events and festivals. We’ve partnered up with Cader Rocks, Yr Wyddfa Records and Pirate Radio Dolgellau to bring you a brand new summer festival which will be held in Machynlleth, Mid Wales this summer. The full line up, location and ticket information will be announced Monday, 6th February.
We’ve also been working hard at various venues across North, Mid and South Wales putting together a team of like-minded individuals to organise the launch of Music Scene Wales live events. Expect an announcement in the next couple of weeks.
We’ve been very busy with our partners, North Wales label Yr Wyddfa Records, working on a new signing which will be a young band from North Wales, who will join Holy Coves on the label. Expect an announcement next week.
We’ve also just released the new Holy Coves music video for the single ‘Grey’ which was made by award winning Ukranian film maker Taras Merenkov, out now on Youtube.
Focus Wales have just announced another 80 acts for their international showcase festival which will be held in May this year. CHECK THAT OUT HERE

My life is a soundtrack, i track my life through music, photography is my passion, my escape, my expression. Without both i have pieces missing, thankfully i’m blessed and get to combine both.
Born in Manchester, lived in Australia for 22 years where i was heavily involved in the Australian Music Industry, firstly in bands (Singer) and then managing bands (all original), I moved back to the UK, Wales specifically 10 years ago
