FOCUS Wales, has announced the first wave of performers for the 2019 international showcase festival, which takes place in Wrexham, North Wales between May 16 and 18. The festival has developed a reputation for booking incredible new acts just before they hit the big time, and this line-up won’t disappoint.

“So… who’s going to be there?”

Hotly tipped Welsh Music Prize nominees Boy Azooga return to FOCUS Wales in 2019 after a whirlwind 2018, which saw the band release their debut album, and make their national TV debut via the BBC and Later… with Jools Holland. Psychedelic punk rock duo The Lovely Eggs. BBC Radio 6Music A-listers Be Camplight, the moniker of American songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brian Christinzio.

Also on the bill are one of the most exciting live acts from Wales Islet, who return after a brief hiatus, Art School Girlfriend who have recently returned from playing the POP Montreal Festival, representing Wales. Boy Azooga’s fellow Welsh Music Prize nominees and favourites of 6Music’s Marc Riley, SEAZOO, also join the bill, as well as Martyn Joseph, the beloved celtic folk artist with a career spanning over 30 years.

A BAD DEAL FROM WELSH GOVERNMENT MEANS WE’RE FORCED TO MAKE MORE CUTS. HAVE YOUR SAY…
