In July we look forward to welcoming Mari Mathias on to the Theatr B! stage along with our house band, Northern Ruins for an end of term School’s Out Celebration.
Northern Ruins are a local, crowd-pleasing band from Brecon and are guaranteed to always put on an energetic set that gets audiences singing and dancing along. With a loyal fan base, it has been a delight and honour to have them as the house band for the Young Music Promoters Gig Nights.
Sorry Stacy is a Russian-Ukrainian, Cardiff based electronic artist. She has been fine tuning her production and song writing skills for over a decade and blends pop, downtempo elements, and glitch, incorporated with personal lyricism and emotion that enables her music to be unique and engaging.
Dactyl Terra are an incredible psychedelic rock band from South Wales. Effortlessly cool and with songs and sounds that will put you in a groove that will last for days!
Mari Mathias is a young Welsh folk/indie singer-songwriter that brings a fresh contemporary sound to both traditional folk songs and original material. She was born and brought up in West Wales and has developed her musical style having played with various bands throughout her teenage years, gaining wide recognition in the Welsh music scene.
Here at Theatr Brycheiniog we are always looking for new ways to engage with our community and offer projects that bring new and exciting ideas and opportunities to our audiences. Last year Theatr B! were successful in receiving funding from Anthem Music through its Atsain Fund Wales. Enabling a young group of people, with a keen interest in music, to meet on a regular basis and co-produce a range of gig nights at Theatr Brycheiniog.
With local Brecon band Northern Ruins acting as house band for the events. The Young Music Promoters themselves have provided amazing feedback regarding the gig nights and experience as a whole:
“Coming up with an idea and seeing it all come to life has been the best part of the whole experience… Smaller town gigs bring young people and communities together, especially in towns that don’t have massive events for young people over a primary school age but under 18” – Teagan.
“I like seeing the different types of genres that the bands experiment with and I like expanding my music taste”– Samuel.
“It’s cool seeing the same people turn up for every show because it lets us know we have supporters that are excited to come back and see what we’ve got going on” – Joe.
“It’s not something I would have usually done, a bit out of my comfort zone but I’m glad I’ve joined” - Jack.
