MUSIC lovers and aspiring artists are invited to an unmissable music industry panel at Y Lle Da | The Good Place Festival, taking place on Saturday, March 28 at St Mary’s Church, Tenby - this panel is free to attend.

Kicking off at midday, the panel brings together an exceptional line-up of internationally acclaimed artists and industry figures, including electronic music pioneers Sian Evans, front woman of Kosheen, celebrated singer Steve Balsamo, and keyboard maestro Geoff Downes (Asia, Yes The Buggles). The discussion will be hosted by John Hywel Morris, PRS Membership Senior Manager, Wales, who will guide conversation around the artists’ careers, the writing process, the evolving music industry, and the realities of life as professional musicians. Festival director, Rhiannon Morgan-Bell said: “It’s a real privilege to welcome such respected artists and musicians to Tenby. The panel offers a chance to hear honest insights into their careers, and for emerging artists performing at the festival, it’s an opportunity to connect, learn and be inspired” This special event offers a rare opportunity for festival-goers to hear directly from globally recognised talent in an intimate and historic setting.

The festival programme extends far beyond the panel, with a vibrant weekend of live music and cultural activity across Tenby.
