Powys Youth Music Project 2005
This year’s project involved 4 evening workshop sessions and a masterclass day in Llanfyllin, Newtown, Llanidloes, Welshpool, Llanfair Caereinion and Machynlleth. Participants from the evening workshops came together for ‘Big Bash / Twrw Taro’, a final day of workshops at Theatr Clera in November. During the evening they were joined by some of the masterclass bands and a very enjoyable performance of work created from the project took place. There were around 130 people in the audience, many of whom made very positive comments about the participants' achievements in our visitors book.
This is the 7th year of the project. Several young bands have been created from participation in the evening workshops or masterclasses. Some have recorded their work and several have performed at large and small festivals or events. This year saw ‘Serotonin’ who met at one of our final events produce a CD, which was widely acclaimed by music critics in Wales.
We would like to acknowledge the input of our lead musicians and assistants particularly on the final day and thank Powys Youth Service youth workers who ensure the project is targeted effectively and support the workshops throughout the project.
