Commune 2010 from Peter Morgan on Vimeo. Friday 16th July sees Sustainable Wales host a community festival of Porthcawl pop (and more!) at the Seabank Hotel. Following last year’s success, The Commune returns with another exhilarating and eclectic line-up of quality acts and performances - a mini-festival with a Glastonbury vibe!
The 2010 Commune first event was on Friday 16th July...
“The main aim of this charity fundraiser is to provide a live showcase for original material from local talent and the mix of acts and styles is really diverse: the night will be a journey of sounds and performance including quirky acoustics from Porthcawl Ukulele Band, raucous indie rockers dEkE, our very own modfather, Nick Ward and his band, some hip-hop street vibes from Blud Kunnektion and rounded off with an electro-funk dance set from WMD. A few special guests are coming too! commented SW Trustee, Richard Thomas.
