Swansea Music Art Dance have received a significant capital grant from the Swansea Development Fund to purchase audio visual recording equipment and begin running an audio visual resource in the city centre.

It will allow artists, musicians and the local community to use digital camcorders and sound recording equipment to produce DVD recordings of their work and they are hoping it will boost the creative economy in Swansea.

Swansea M.A.D is a community interest company formed in 2008 which supports the arts and live music scene in Swansea and its district. They work to further the professionalism of local, musicians bands, performers and artists.

Thanks to Benjy (that’s me :D ) for sending us this month’s header design, if you’re wondering; its a scan of my brand new sketch book. Its still pretty much empty at the moment but I thought the binding looked nice.

I’ve updated my personal blog recently so if you fancy a look at some of my drawings and pointless mutterings, please check it out www.thelab7.com.

If you’d like to contribute a design, photo, illustration etc. for next month’s header then please email us at hello@prettyshittycity.co.uk.

Pretty Shitty City is 1 year old!

Benjy — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 22:26:05 +0000

Thanks to everyone for your support these past twelve months, the project is continuing to grow and hopefully making a difference in its own little way.

If you want to give us a present than a link from your website / profile / blog / whatever would be perfect. So if you can, please use our url (http://www.prettyshittycity.co.uk) & spread the love.

Also to celebrate, we’re launching a Pretty Shitty City Forum. Its intended as a place that like-minded people can discuss events, creative projects, and general Swansea-ness so please get stuck in and say hello or recommend a feature.

Cheers, Benjy :D
