Heard anyone say "It's more than my job's worth" lately?
Pat had, and just before she died she asked for this song
to be put on Youtube.... it's a simple song from our first CD,
'Come On Home', with the "apple cart gang" from Penrhys!
If you know of any news or reviews that we have missed, Â please send them in to us. Feel free to forward to anyone you know who is interested in any aspect of the performing arts in Wales. I've just received my copy of Rob Firman's magnum, self- published, opus, 'The Theatres and Performance Spaces of South Wales'. At over 450 pages and full illustrated with colour photographs, this is a magnificent book documenting the history of theatres in South Wales. If you are interested in getting your hands on a copy of Rob's very limited edition book get in touch and i'll pass your details on to him...It's worth every penny!

Special Announcement
Long time friend of, and contributor to, this website, DAVID ADAMS, has decided , because of ill-health, that his critical writing days are now behind him. For many many years David was one of the very few people writing about theatre and performance in Wales, and The Guardian's regular reporter on drama in Wales and the west.
He has an extensive collection of theatre books that he now wants to part with, if somewhat reluctantly! There are general theatre books, criticism, etc as well as an invaluable collection of English- language Welsh drama. It's free to a good home (ie a genuine theatre-lover/student/institution) and for sale to any bookseller. There are several boxes and they'd have to be collected from his home in the Forest of Dean.
If you are GENUINELY interested in this offer please contact ME in the first instance. I will vet responses on David's behalf and forward to him the most deserving ones

An ‘A’ for the Training Manager
Training & Accreditation Officer, Rachel Burton, has aced her Level 7 training module in Supervision and Support Skills at the University of Newport (UWN), by getting an A15 pass (maximum mark is A16).
Rachel enrolled in this training last December, which was funded by the Welsh Government to ensure that supervisors of Youth and Community undergraduates in Wales were suitably qualified.
On top of having to attend three days of taught sessions in December and then completing about 10,000 words of assignments, Rachel also had to supervise two Level 5 undergraduate students from UWN.
Rachel will be supervising her first Level 6 student (3rd year) next academic year.
Need a space?
ProMo-Cymru is working with somewhereto_ to offer any young person between the ages of 16-25 a space to do the things they love. Perhaps they want a stage to perform on, a room to hold a workshop or a place to exhibit their work? Young people can now come directly to ProMo and request a free space anywhere in Wales and it's our job to find it for them.
Alternatively, perhaps you have a space that you can offer to young people? Do you have a meeting room that isn't being used in the evenings, an outdoor space suitable for sports or a studio space? Please get in touch if you want to become part of this exciting project.
Did you know that you can register your organisation with CLIConline as a contributor, and have your own page with your company logo and details? The page - which will have a unique URL - can also display widget links to your social networking pages, along with links to all the articles you upload to CLIConline.
To have your own company page on CLIConline (or if you would just like a demonstration), please contact the national editor, Ryan Heeger at ryan@cliconline.co.uk or on 07515 566518.
CLIConline Bala Weekender
The CLIConline Bala Lake Weekender was one of the best so far. Over 30 young people from across Wales travelled by coach to Gwynedd to work on the CLIConline information pages and learn about Welfare Reform.
They also spent a few hours on Saturday canoeing and climbing, before competing in 'CLIC's Got Talent', a spectacular show presided over by young comperes James and Mark, and a panel of critics including Tom 'The Jones' Jones, A Boy Called Beiber and Simon 'Not Really All That Nasty' Cowell.
You can see some of the pictures over on our Flickr page.
Employment Opportunities on the MEIC Project

MEIC is managed strategically by the Cywaith consortium, made up of Children in Wales, NYAS, Tros Gynnal Plant, ProMo-Cymru and Voices from Care.
The bi-lingual Helpline operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
These are exciting times for our service and we are looking to recruit a number of adviser advocates to support our growth. We have vacancies for full-time, part-time and sessional staff to complement our existing team of staff.
If you are passionate about supporting the children and young people of Wales on a range of issues, we would love to hear from you.

Swoosh Swoosh has recently teamed up with the Vale of Glamorgan Citizens Advice Bureau and Vibe Experience to run the Money! campaign.
The campaign, funded by Vale Families First, went into schools and youth centres across the county delivering workshops on money management, debt advice and budgeting.
The campaign saw over 300 young people and feedback from the sessions has been really positive, with young people saying they felt more confident in dealing with personal money matters.
Swoosh will also be running further campaigns this year on relationships and sexual health, in partnership with the Youth Service.
Swoosh has also had its funding confirmed for 2013/14 by the Vale Children and Young People's Partnership. This is fantastic as it means the website can continue to support new members via a recruitment drive and promotional tour in schools this coming summer during assemblies and lunch breaks!

BWFW are holding two fundraising gigs in May 2013; one in Cardiff (Venue & Date TBC) and one in the London Welsh Centre (Friday 24th May) and are looking to hear from Welsh Bands who would be interested in playing at both gigs. As the event is primarily geared up towards raising money rather than spending it, the organisers won’t be able to pay you for your time, but will try to help out with logistics / expenses, and of course make sure you benefit from the event’s publicity as much as possible. If you’d be interested in playing, then please send a link to your band’s music and contact details to help@bywalesforwales.com and their team will be in touch.

Call for WOMEX 13 Showcase and Conference Proposals
It's time to submit your proposals for WOMEX 13 in Cardiff, Wales, from Wednesday, 23 to Sunday, 27 October 2013.
If you’re serious about taking your music to an international audience you should be looking at applying for a WOMEX showcase.
WOMEX has put out its annual call for proposals, inviting the best artists, speakers and films from every corner of the globe - to enrich the programme of the most important world music industry event of the year. The Showcase (and Conference) selection is made each year by a new group of seven hand-picked Jury members - the famous 7 Samurai.
World Music Artists and DJs
Come and perform at the premier world music Showcase event on the planet. If selected by their Jury, you'll play in front of the largest audience anywhere, of international world music concert and festival bookers (over 730 last year), labels, distributors, journalists and industry professionals - everyone you need to help launch, re-launch, sustain and expand your career.
Performances in all world music forms and styles are welcome for the 45-minute sets - traditional, classical, modern, popular, electronic. Whatever you do, wherever you come from, the WOMEX Jury wants to hear the best from all artists who deserve wider audiences and have the professional standards necessary to tour.
Conference speakers & mentors
The WOMEX Conference programme is created based on an annual call for proposals inviting speakers to apply to take part. Last year, the WOMEX Conference had over 20 Conference Sessions, as well as a Mentoring and Matchmaking programme.
Speakers
Calling all informative, educational and/or controversial speakers to present their topics, projects and passions to the WOMEX delegates. To reflect the broad range of music industry branches and styles represented at WOMEX, they are welcoming all kinds of Conference topics: from basics to backgrounds, from live to recorded, and from roots to visions. The Conference is held in the English language.
WOMEX are particularly encouraging proposals highlighting every aspect of the UK scene between folk revival and the soundtracks of the multicultural communities, including the next generation electronic mash-up of it all.
The past, present and future of 'jazz & world' is a favourite at WOMEX too, so if you’re a luminary in this field, please do submit your proposal.
Mentors
WOMEX are calling all experts and luminaries from a wide variety of fields, such as live production & touring, label & publishing, PR, new tools & technologies etc., to offer their advice to WOMEX delegates in two different Mentoring schemes: One-to-One or Round-Table. These sessions are held in the English language.
Please note the proposal deadline for all the above is Friday, 12 April 2013
