This coming January, Acapela will be hosting a talent show for local bands. Hywel Wigley explained how, through the application process, the five top bands will be given a stage place and the chance to compete. The 1st place prize of studio time will enable the winning band to record an album with the support of Acapela.
Another challenge for the bands is to sell enough tickets in order to compete. With a minimum of 20 needing to be sold, the band selling the most will be given the coveted headline spot in the show.

Acapela gives Welsh artists the chance to develop
The idyllic village of Pentyrch just outside Cardiff is playing host to Welsh artists through the music venue and recording studio, Acapela. Their very own label, Kissan Productions, provides local Welsh bands with a potential platform from which to launch their careers.
With a focus on developing talented musicians and giving them the opportunity to record their own music, the venue has helped the recording careers of artists such as Only Men Aloud and Welsh folk band, Rusty Shackle.
Hywel Wigley, part of the production team, describes the work of Acapela as being: “World quality music, locally.” The regular gigs, and an upcoming talent show, enable local bands to have a stage and be heard.
