The two-day event will comprise workshops and a new talent show, the Cwtch awards, on the Friday night, with the winner performing with the leading acts at the Gala show on Saturday.

Festival director Stephanie Gawne said, “We’re trying to build it into an alternative fringe festival, a kind of flagship event that gives back to the community.
