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.
Heres a video (via Paper2fish) of Wonka-Vision and Slam On The BreaksMega-Rave that happened last weekend. Line-up included Benga, Sub-Focus, Jackbeats, Jakes, Will Bailey, Lee Mortimer & Last Japan.
“Mega-Rave” seems like a pretty fitting name for the night to be fair, looks awesome. :)
