  • 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).

  • The Impact of the COVID-19 Outbreak on the Welsh Language December 2020
    Welsh Parliament Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Welsh language December 2020 The Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee is looking at the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the areas within its remit. Between 24 September and 20 October the Committee received written evidence and heard from organisations teaching and promoting the Welsh language at national and community level. We are grateful to all those who contributed to this inquiry, the organisations and individuals are listed in the Annexe to this report. This short report summarises the evidence on the impact of the pandemic on the Welsh language. Recommendation 1. The Welsh Government should ensure that short term reallocations of Welsh Language funding, due to the pandemic, do not result in longer term funding allocations which could detract from achieving the aims of Cymraeg 2050. The Welsh Government should reinstate the budget allocations for supporting and promoting the Welsh language in full, as soon as possible. Recommendation 2. The Welsh Government should ensure that jobs that support and promote the Welsh language across Wales are central to its economic recovery plan. Recommendation 3. The Welsh Government should review and update its Cymraeg 2050 action plan and the Welsh language technology action plan to reflect the rapid change to online Welsh language learning, activities and cultural events that has facilitated its use at home and grown interest in the language abroad. www.senedd.wales Recommendation 4. The Welsh Government should make training available for organisations and individuals to ensure they make the most of online opportunities to promote the use of Welsh and support their members.

  • Delivering Capital Ambition Cardiff Council Corporate Plan 2020-23
    Delivering Capital Ambition Cardiff Council Corporate Plan 2020-23 Mae’r ddogfen hon ar gael yn Gymraeg hefyd / WORKING FOR CARDIFF, This document is also available in Welsh WORKING FOR YOU Leader’s Introduction 2020-2023 As my Administration enters the second half of its municipal term, we have reaffirmed our Capital Ambition commitments to create a greener, fairer and stronger capital city. This plan describes in detail how we will deliver our Capital Ambition programme. With the UK having now left the European Union, the plan sets out a positive and progressive response, with the Council investing alongside the private sector in a programme of major regeneration projects, placing a relentless focus on job creation and attracting inward investment. This work will include completing Central Square and the city centre’s transformation as a business district, launching the next phase of Cardiff Bay’s regeneration and delivering a new Industrial Strategy for the east of the city, which will create new jobs in this too often overlooked part of the city. But a strong economy is about much more than simply creating jobs and attracting investment. It is a scandal that many of the poorest communities in Wales – including the one I represent - are less than a stone’s throw away from the nation’s economic centre. And so, through initiatives like the Living Wage City, we will place an equal emphasis on ensuring that the jobs and opportunities created in Cardiff are taken by citizens of all our communities. Education remains our top priority. This plan describes how we will continue to drive up school performance and reduce the attainment gap between children from our most affluent and deprived communities, led by our hundreds of millions pound investment in building new, and improving existing, schools, and our commitment to becoming a Unicef Child Friendly City.
