It was to consider existing methods of delivery of education services across Wales, identify best practice, consider alternative models in line with the needs and demands for such services, and consider the feasibility of the options available. A particular focus rested upon considering whether or not responsibility for delivery should be transferred to a single national ‘arm’s-length’ body, presenting options in respect of what form this body should take and considering whether or not a National Plan for Music Education should be prepared.

  • M06 Ymateb Gan Traddodiadau Cerdd Cymru / Response from Music Traditions Wales
    Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru / National Assembly for Wales Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu / Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee Diwydiant Cerddoriaeth yng Nghymru / Music Industry in Wales CWLC M06 Ymateb gan Traddodiadau Cerdd Cymru / Response from Music Traditions Wales How do local authority decisions such as business rates, licensing and planning decisions impact upon live music venues? 1. There is very little that Local authorities can do to promote live music venues unless the council has a live music strategy in place. Without the political directive to recognise and value the local music scene local authorities do not see either their social or economic value and therefore do not take measures to preserve them as part of the Authority’s Plan. 2. It’s possible for a local authority to be imaginative, use Planning Gain to require developers to support live music as a “public art”, make measurable provision of live music a condition of renewing and awarding licences but this needs leadership. 3. In our experience, a local authority’s staff, with one or two exceptions do not know how to recognise the value of a live music venue. The social benefits do not fit into their metrics. Very often a policy that seeks to attract inward investment discounts the value of small businesses. 4. Most live music in Wales does not happen in dedicated venues and theatres. It happens in bars & pubs, social clubs, meantime & pop-up spaces, fields, weddings, festivals. It is frequently a valuable part of a business for the retention of customers etc, but rarely forms the main part of a business’ revenue.

  • Skull Orchard Revisited Art, Words & Music by Jon Langford with David Langford Photographs by Denis Langford
    Skull Orchard Revisited Art, Words & Music by Jon Langford with David Langford Photographs by Denis Langford Verse Chorus Press Portland 7 London 7 Melbourne INTRODUCTION An ugly, lovely town (or so it was and is to me) . This sea town was my world; outside a strange Wales, coal-pitted, mountained, river-run, full, so far as I know, of choirs and football teams and sheep . , moved about its business which was none of mine. – Dylan Thomas, Reminiscences of Childhood I was born on the border, and we talked about ‘the English’ who were not us, and also ‘the Welsh’ who were not us. – Raymond Williams The songs on Skull Orchard are mostly about Newport, the ugly, lovely town I was born in, and the not so strange Wales beyond. My mum was from the valleys and my dad was from the ’Port. Like Raymond Williams, he thought of himself as neither English nor Welsh, but on that point he and my mother would never agree. Her family was full of miners, rugby players, pigeon fanciers – there was even the odd Welsh speaker. I moved up to Leeds in 1976 (the year they closed most of Llanwern steelworks) and then to Chicago in 1992, but the eyes of an exile can’t help looking back, and I can’t help going back there. Newport is full of ghosts for me now, and sometimes when I walk the streets of the town centre I feel like a ghost myself – lost, gone, unrecogniz- able . an invisible man. My dad used to take me and my brother Dave down to the docks on Saturday mornings to see the big Soviet cargo ships and the squat little tugboats.

  • Music Industry in Wales Inquiry
    June 2019 Music Industry in Wales Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee 1. UK Music is the umbrella body representing the collective interests of the UK’s commercial music industry, from songwriters and composers to artists and musicians, studio producers, music managers, music publishers, major and independent record labels, music licensing companies and the live music sector. 2. UK Music exists to represent the UK’s commercial music sector, to drive economic growth and promote the benefits of music to British society. A full list of UK Music members can be found in annex. 3. In the latest edition of our Measuring Music 1 report our research found that the UK Music Industry contributes £4.5 billion GVA to the UK Economy. The music industry also generated £2.6 billion in export revenues. Live music contributes £991m GVA to the economy and generated £80 million in export revenues. The UK Music Industry employs 145,815 people, with 28,659 of these employees being based in the Live sector. Grassroots Music Venues 4. UK Music was supportive of the Save Womanby Street campaign in 2017 working closely with Kevin Brennan MP and Jo Stevens MP on exploring what policy could help save this area of cultural significance due to the number of venues on the street. We have continued our work with Kevin and Jo in advocating for the protection of Welsh grassroots music venues in the Houses of Parliament alongside our partners the Music Venue Trust. 5. Grassroots music venues are often the first step onto the talent pipeline for emerging musicians.

The pilot year has been a wonderful investment in the development of a sustainable music industry celebration. “Proud to say I’m from Merthyr right now.” Alyce Jones, 16 Merthyr Rock Festival, September 2011 4 The Music “This has to happen again... this was the best collection of Welsh acts that has ever been put together.” James McLaren, BBC Wales Music It was the aim of Merthyr Rock to bring an international-standard festival to Merthyr, and to give the Valleys the occasion to match their rich musical heritage. In programming the event it was essential that the festival featured household names that could draw large crowds performing alongside the best of established and emerging Welsh musicians. The headliners in 2011 were Ocean Colour Scene and The Blackout.
