An interview with Simon Parton from Swansea Music Hub.

Sometimes it's possible to forget that music has the power to bring people and cities together. With so much emphasis on the virtual network of Soundcloud, Spotify, Bandcamp et al,as well as the pressure for artists to gain social reach on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and any other platforms. Sometimes the best way to reach out is to, as @SimonParton puts it "go to other bands/musicians gigs". Such simple advice that could really benefit so many. (Including myself)
In this interview Simon talks more about Swansea Music Hub and his work in the city of Swansea. Building up a massive list of creatives who are making some amazing music and connecting with their listeners offline.
Meanwhile I'm hiding in London trying to develop a new EMW v2.0 platform for online content. I need all the help I can get so please do not hesitate to get in touch if you think you can help. ( Email me )

Two For A Pound: Talking 'Local Produce' with Alfie Swan.

If you have ever walked down Queen Street in Cardiff during the day you will probably have, at some point witnessed the dulcet tones of the fruit and veg man screaming at the top of his lungs "RASPBERRIES, STRAWBERRIES. TWO FOR A POUND".

If the truth be told this man isn't the only one promoting 'local produce' in the city! (See what I did there?)

Alfie Swan is quietly (unlike fruit and veg man) creating a platform that is already sending shock waves through the streets of Cardiff. Always humble and with an exquisite music taste.

'Local Produce' has been the go to spot for Cardiff's producer community, to get together and share their latest works to a vibrant and mixed audience all enjoying the cosy atmosphere of the Blue Honey Night Cafe. Cardiffs latest spot for underground music events and late night eats.

It is with great pleasure I present you this short but informative q+a with Alfie Swan. Check out the music links and if you are in the area…

Timbali Interview - by Doc P (Fat Soul/Fat Lace)
EMW:Hi there, to begin, can you tell us who you are, and just briefly say what you do?

Timbali: Hi I’m Ollie Davidson - Howell and I produce and Dj under the name Timbali.

EMW:Can you tell us a bit about ya background? (EG. Where’d ya grow up, ya roots in music, instruments/bands)

Timbali: I was born and raised in the beautiful county of Pembrokeshire. My old man is a bass player and has played in lots of bands including ‘Nik Turner’s Fantastic Allstars’, ‘The Cherryheads’ and most recently ‘Senedelica’. This meant there was always instruments lying around the house so I started picking up the guitar at a young age.

When I was about 8 years old the group ‘Zion Train’ moved in to the house next door and altho…
