The Courtyard is being run in association with 'On The Band Wagon' to create music industry experience opportunities for young people in Mid Wales. This is a joint funded project between Powys County Council, Arts Council Wales and Workhouse Festival.
 
Rock / Punk / Progressive Three piece from Llandrindod Wells with a solid reputation and some serious aspiration… best to give them your own appraisal!
 
 
Alternative / Experimental / Rock
Their music is ethereal, haunting and just jaw droppingly beautiful…
 
 
Funk / Jam Band / Nu-Jazz
The whole funk and nothing but the funk… here to spread the gospel of Funk, Acid Jazz, Soul and the tightest, most driving grooves.
 

Rock / Blues / Funk
Local rock-funksters who’ve been making considerable waves for such a young band… watch this space.
 
 
Alternative / Rock
Original, powerful and expressive with a potent brew of song writing and musicianship…

Electronica / Indie / Alternative
Last year’s main-stagers bring you more experimental music with heavy beats and break-rock edges. Rock ‘n Roll by all means necessary…
 
 
Alternative / Rock / Metal
Like ear sex, but not as messy. More cutting edge sounds from the Mid Wales massive…

Rock
Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen
 
 
Acoustic / Country / Pop
Most recently she supported country singer, and Radio 2's Bob Harris favourite Angie Palmer, and her band during her UK tour.

Alternative / Experimental / Rock
Tipped to be one of the hottest bands of the year, but best comne and check them out yourselves…
 
 
Screamo / Emo / Metal
Hot on the heals of a serious brain haemorrhage these boys will leave you in no doubt that Mid Wales is far from peaceful.

Metal / Thrash / Trip Hop
“I should have scalped you and left you for dead” If there is any band in Mid Wales who will make you think twice it’s Last Chance For Day.
 
 
 
Acoustic / Emo
“Everybody knows I’m in over my head, over my head" Self taught singer and songwriter Owain is one new artist not to miss…

Pop / Indie / New Wave
Three clean cut, nice gentlemen from Oswestry that you would be honoured to take home to meet your parents and stroke your pet…
 
 
Rock / Alternative / Grunge
From hard-rock to heart-warming hum, there’s something for everyone, with an original yet familiar sound… lush.

Disco House / Indie / Electronica
A spotless, sinister disco band, tighter than a gnat's you-know-what and tidy to boot…
 
 
A four-piece band from Shrewsbury who write good old fashioned indie/rock songs delivered with energy and passion

Make space for this hot new talented band from Telford that are certainly going places and absolutely rock!
 

More bands to be confirmed...wait until the day
to discover more excellent new acts!"
