Music Friendly City Audit

As part of its wider Culture Strategy and supported by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Swansea Council has commissioned Trac Cymru and Tŷ Cerdd to run an audit of the City’s music sector.

How many of us make music here, where, when and how often? How many venues do we have and what do they need? What gigs do we go to and how often? If we know that, we can work out how we can support it to make Swansea a truly Music Friendly City. We’ll be holding meetings, interviews and surveys for all of us to have our say. Details and links below.

If you need to get in touch you can email musicfriendlycity@gmail.com
