Rather than frenzied speed-meetings or zealous networking, our favoured approach has always been to create an environment for friendly socialising and relaxed business discussions. Last year, 92% of delegates said Wide Days combined business with pleasure, a statistic which is met with widespread approval when we mention it at other industry events. There is a growing consensus that our approach leads to more collaborations, working relationships and often friendships. These ‘outcomes’ are underpinned by a willingness on the part of partner organisations, sponsors, speakers and delegates to turn up, engage and in most cases, stay for the duration of the event. In essence, it is about being alert to the possibilities and open to developing ideas. Our long-standing ties with PPL, EmuBands, EUSA, the SMIA, the MU, CMU and the University of the Highlands & Islands, are evidence of this in action, while more recent partnerships with Eventbrite, PRS Foundation, Help Musicians and Creative Scotland have enabled us to take Wide Days to a new level. Since last year’s event, we have hosted one of the busiest receptions WIDE DAYS 18 TEAM in the history of The Great Escape, offered continuing support for Directors: Olaf Furniss & Michael Lambert past showcase acts, organised two events as part of Help Musicians Accreditation: Emily Hood Scotland’s launch, held a well-attended soiree in London (in spite of Artist Liaison Manager: Craig Gornall the snow) and became the first Scottish event to join the Keychange Event Assistant: Rosie Watson initiative.

Over the years he spoke on numerous panels, as well as covering the convention for trade publication Record of the Day, via which he endorsed us to the global music industry with the quote: “An unmissable fixture in our calendar.” In the years that followed, Dave set about proving himself true to his word, his determination to come to Wide Days often verging on the heroic.

  • 23 AUG-2 SEPT 2018 Elke Keer Als Noorderzon Opkomt, Verschijnt Het Licht Van Mark Yeoman
    23 AUG-2 SEPT 2018 Elke keer als Noorderzon opkomt, verschijnt het licht van Mark Yeoman. Zelf zal hij om zo’n observatie glimlachen, want hij is ook maar bij toeval begonnen, niet om doelbewust te verschijnen als hemellichaam in de atmosfeer van Groningen. Dat het aantrekkingskracht was, zal Mark niet ontkennen, integendeel. Onaangekondigd landde hij op een magische dag in de stad met zowat theaterbagage uit andere verten, zonder de wil om er ook weer ongemerkt te vertrekken. Hij voelde dat Groningen hem mogelijk zocht en dat het de plaats was om te blijven en een eigen festivaluniversum te scheppen, vol elementen uit een oneindig galactica. Om die elementen draait Noorderzon, zal Mark zeggen, niet om hem. Daar heeft hij gelijk in. Maar het kan niet zonder hem, als onvermoeibare sterrenplukker in een perfecte Groningse Brexit. Eerst was er Oerol. Als rondreizende culturele hobo voor NOS-Radio1 koesterde ik het Terschellinger locatiefestival als opperste bestemming naar een langwerpige waddenplaneet. Het was in de vorderende jaren negentig. Destijds maakten ruim 50.000 mensen de overtocht. Ze kwamen uit heel Nederland. Zo was het niet met Noorderzon. Mijn goede Groninger collega Eric Nederkoorn opperde begin deze eeuw tijdens Oerol dat in Noorderzon ook een reportage voor Radio 1 zat. Sindsdien ben ik vijftien Noorderzon-bezoeken verder. Het was goed om het festival bekendheid te geven buiten Groningen, samen met een paar krantencollega’s. Het heeft nog niet geleid tot tienduizenden bezoekers extra uit heel het land. Ik weet dat Mark Yeoman en algemeen directeur Femke Eerland en de hele staf daar niet bijzonder mee zitten.

Pinning the Daffodil and Singing Proudly: An American's Search for Modern Meaning in Ancestral Ties Abstract This paper is a collection of my personal experiences with the Welsh culture, both as a celebration of heritage in America and as a way of life in Wales. Using my family’s ancestral link to Wales as a narrative base, I trace the connections between Wales and America over the past century and look closely at how those ties have changed over time. The piece focuses on five location-based experiences—two in America and three in Wales—that each changed the way I interpret Welsh culture as a fifth-generation Welsh-American.

  • Extracts from Key Political Party Manifestos Relevant to Leisure-Time Music
    Extracts from key political party manifestos relevant to leisure-time music This is an extract of the key pledges in party manifestos relevant to the community of members of Making Music and leisure time music making. Extracted from the manifestos of the 5 parties represented in parliament up to 2021, with reference to our Asks to MSP Candidates which were: • A Culture Act for Scotland • Spaces for music making and performance to be considered essential in community planning. • Music making to be considered a well-being activity and included within strategies to improve the nation’s health and well-being • Free instrumental music tuition in all Scottish schools Scottish National Party CULTURE • Learning from countries such as Ireland and the Netherlands, we will establish a “Percentage for the Arts” scheme which will create a requirement for a percentage of the overall cost of a construction project for new public buildings, places or spaces to be spent on community art commissions. We estimate this would raise £150 million per year for the arts once fully up and running. • To aid future planning and recovery, we will agree 3 year funding settlements for Scottish Government core funded cultural organisations. We will also continue our culture recovery funding to get support to those who continue to be significantly affected by Covid related restrictions. • We will support the co-ordination of Scottish commissioning and create a Scotland Touring Fund for Theatre and Music as part of economic recovery, helping to take live performances directly into alternative community venues and revitalising year- round tourism. • We will expand our Culture Collective programme, giving artists and communities the length and breadth of Scotland even more opportunities to collaborate on creative activity, supporting a sustainable creative recovery from the pandemic.

Mae’n benllanw misoedd o waith paratoi ac yn ddechrau ar rhywbeth arbennig iawn ar Grays Inn Road. Mae rhaglen yr ŵyl yn gyfoethog, amrywiol ac unigryw. Hyderaf y byddwch wedi eich plesio gan yr arlwy gyda chyfleoedd i ystyried, trafod, dadlau, ac yn fwy na dim i fwynhau. Mae’r ŵyl yn adlewyrchiad o amcanion ehangach Canolfan Cymry Llundain. Mae teitl dydd Sadwrn ‘From Wales, Bloomsbury and beyond’ yn amlygu pa mor unigryw yw ein lleoliad. Gyntaf oll, rydym yn gartref balch i Gymry Llundain. Rydym hefyd yn ganolfan gymunedol sydd â rôl bwysig yn lleol. Awn ymhellach nag unrhyw linell ddaearyddol hefyd. Mae ein drysau yn agored i bawb sydd am fwynhau a gwerthfawrogi ein cartref beth bynnag fo’u cefndir, ffydd neu hil. Mae gennym gynlluniau uchelgeisiol ar gyfer ein Canolfan ac mae digwyddiadau fel Gŵyl Lenyddiaeth Cymry Llundain yn hanfodol i gynaladwyedd y cynlluniau yma. Mae hwn yn gam diwylliannol a strategol bwysig i ni. Diolch am ymuno ar y daith. Mae hydref prysur iawn o’n blaenau yn y Ganolfan. Mae manylion y digwyddiadau yn y rhaglen hon ac ar ein gwefan. Mae modd cefnogi ein gwaith trwy danysgrifio i’r Ganolfan neu drwy roi arian i’n helusen gwerth-chweil. Byddwch yn rhan o rywbeth gwych ac unigryw. Edrychwn ymlaen i rannu gyda chi yng Ngŵyl Lenyddiaeth gyntaf Cymry Llundain – digwyddiad wirioneddol gofiadwy! On behalf of the London Welsh Centre it is an honour to welcome you to the inaugural London Welsh Literature Festival.
