From the 25 November to the 04 December Winter Sounds, a brand new festival will be filling venues across Conwy and shining a light on musical talent from Wales and beyond.

The line-up has something for everyone from bilingual beatboxing for kids, to live folk, indie, and flamenco. 
Reverend Eryl Parry from the Bro Celynnin Ministry Area said, ‘We are delighted to be working with the Creu Conwy team and hosting some local and internationally renowned artists at St. Mary’s church in Conwy. These free and accessible events will be a real boost for our communities and towns and hopefully something we can build on year on year”.

In addition, the team behind Winter Sounds have been working hard with communities to bring you Winter Sounds Extra. These fringe events offer everything from immersive sounds and visuals from the Carneddau Mountains to the Rock Project.

The events are mostly free, but ticketed and you can get yours by visiting www.conwyculture.com. The concerts are suitable for over 14s, but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Winter Sounds are also working with Beacons Cymru to offer mentoring opportunities for 18 to 25 year olds interested in progressing a career in the music industry.  A day of industry talks, workshops, networking and live music will be hosted by Tape Music and Film on Friday 2 December. Those interested can contact creu@conwy.gov.uk  to find out more.
