Swn Festival is the flagship new music event for Wales. Each Autumn Swn brings together emerging artists from Wales, the UK and beyond to takeover grassroots venues and interesting spaces across the capital City of Wales - Cardiff. Small in size but big in impact, Swn continues to innovate, excite and support the music scene in Wales.
To see this year's festival go to www.swnfest.com
Swn are engaged as regional partners in Wales for Independent Venue Week - a 7-day celebration of the small grassroots venues that give so many artists their first live show. Swn's expertise and contact in music in Wales has helped IVW extend its presence in Wales, whilst helping venues, promoters and artists engage with this high-profile national event.
STILL PROMOTING THE BEST BANDS ACROSS SOUTH WALES.

The Welsh Music Prize was created in 2011 by Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens and music promoter John Rostron.
The prize was originally launched to coincide with Sŵn festival – one of the UKs best independent music festivals – sharing the same values to celebrate the finest music made in Wales or by Welsh people around the world. Warmly received by the Welsh and international music industry, its now grown into its own, taking place each Autumn in Cardiff.
With a commitment to diversity and fine production, Welsh Music Prize will continue to champion the best new music from Wales.
Sefydlwyd y Wobr Gerddoriaeth Gymreig yn 2011 gan Huw Stephens a John Rostron.
Cychwynnodd y wobr mewn cyd weithrediad a Gwyl Sŵn, er mwyn dathlu y gyfoeth gerddorol sydd yng Nghymru, a records wedi eu creu yng Nghymru neu Cymry o amgylch y byd. Mae’r wobr wedi bod yn llwyddiant mawr, gyda cryn sylw iddi yng Nghymru ac o amgylch y byd. Mae’r noson wobrwyo yn un arbennig, ac yn digwydd yn yr Hydref.
Gyda’r pwyslais ar greadigrwydd a chynhyrchu, mae’r Wobr Geddoriaeth Gymreig yn parhau i hyrwyddo a dathlu y gerddoriaeth newydd orau o Gymru.

SoundNation was a 3-year experiment to measure the reality of promoting at a smaller grass-roots level.On the outside, you'd just see us, Swn, promoting concerts in Cardiff. But behind the scenes, the idea was that the Sound Nation model enabled more performances of live music in Cardiff; provided a new income stream for independent venues; and brought more opportunity and control of cultural activity to Cardiff.
Ultimately we hoped it would create a fairer, sustainable framework to deliver economic and cultural growth in Cardiff, whilst contributing positively to the development of the UK artistic talent and the UK music industry.
The Sound Nation partnership is on a hiatus for now and we're promoting shows under the old Swn Presents guise, but we believe it's a positive new model which organisations in other towns and cities can adopt to benefit the UK live music scene.
We’re now compiling the data from this experiment to be published soon.
DimSwn is the super-small-one-day-edition of Swn which now takes place occasionally during spring in Cardiff.
It was created in order that Swn could respond quickly to emerging artists with an event at a counterpoint in the calendar to its flagship Swn Festival.

Canton Crawl was a one-day mini-festival which took place at Printhaus, Cardiff in 2012. It was curated and headlined by Cate Le Bon, and included early performances from H Hawkline and R Seilog, as well as the debut show from Fist Of The First Man.
