  • Music Venue Trust Response to Music Industry in Wales Inquiry
    Music Venue Trust response to Music Industry in Wales Inquiry 1. About Music Venue Trust Music Venue Trust is a registered charity which acts to protect, secure and improve Grassroots Music Venues in the UK. 1 Music Venue Trust is the representative body of the Music Venues Alliance 2, a network of over 500 Grassroots Music Venues in the UK. A full list of the 34 Music Venues Alliance Wales members is provided at Annex A. 2. Grassroots Music Venues in 2019 A. A nationally and internationally accepted definition of a Grassroots Music Venue (GMV) is provided at Annex B. This definition is now in wide usage, including by the UK, Scottish and Welsh Parliaments. 3 GMVs exhibit a specific set of social, cultural and economic attributes which are of special importance to communities, artists, audiences, and to the wider music industry. Across sixty years, this sector has played a vital research and nurturing role in the development of the careers of a succession of UK musicians, for example The Beatles (The Cavern, Liverpool) through The Clash (100 Club, London), The Undertones (The Casbah, Derry), Duran Duran (Rum Runner, Birmingham), Housemartins (Adelphi, Hull), Radiohead (Jericho Tavern, Oxford), Idlewild (Subway, Edinburgh). All three of the UK’s highest grossing live music attractions in 2017 (Adele, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay) commenced their careers with extensive touring in this circuit. 4 In Wales, GMVs have played a central role in kickstarting the careers of The Manic Street Preachers (TJs, Newport), Supper Furry Animals (Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff), The Joy Formidable, (Central Station, Wrexham), Gruff Rhys (Neuadd Ogwen, Bangor), Funeral For A Friend (Hobo’s Bridgend), Skindred (Sin City, Swansea).

  • Annual Report 2019-2020
    1 CHAIR’S REPORT Part of the Chair’s responsibility is to review all aspects of Menter Iaith Sir Dinbych’s work during the past year. Before presenting a report before the Management Board’s Directors. The Directors then evaluate our work and activities over the year in an Annual Report which is presented in an Annual Meeting. Our Annual Meetings are usually held at a community centre. However this year, the Covid-19 restrictions have unfortunately affected our usual practice. The Directors and Staff will be meeting virtually over Zoom from their offices or from the comfort of their own home. Can you believe it?! The pandemic is forcing people from all four corners of the world to break away from the norm and we can’t yet be certain where this will lead us in the future. I would like to thank Menter Iaith Dinbych’s staff for providing a summary of their activities for this report. We’re very lucky to have an extremely hardworking and supportive volunteer Treasurer. We would also like to extend a warm welcome to the Board’s new secretary and wish them all the best in their new post. Thank you very much to both for their invaluable work. Towards the end of this financial year, the Lockdown was announced. As a result, the Chief Officer had to undertake the unexpected task of ensuring that the staff were ready and prepared to comply with the many restrictions set by the Government. The Chief Officer evaluated the situation and ensured that Menter Iaith Dinbych could continue with their work despite the setbacks.

The event is part of the Council's efforts to raise the profile and gain a better understanding of the language, and to celebrate the culture of Wales. It comes at a time when there significant attention on the Welsh language and the fact that the Urdd Eisteddfod is due to return to the county in May 2022. This year, as a result of covid and the majority of staff working from home, we had to be a little more creative and so the Eisteddfod went digital. We used our private staff facebook page as a location to hold the Eisteddfod and promoted various categories for staff to compete in by uploading a picture to go with each category. The response and support received exceeded our expectations and there was a lot of engagement from staff.
