Here is trac's response to the Music Investment Fund consultation. The MIF represents a change at the Arts Council of Wales away from grant funding one-off projects to a more sustainable investment in musicians and how they make a living. One of its aims is to support our musicians to live and work in Wales. Those of us who do that know just how hard it is to keep the wolf from the door.

Hello and Croeso,

This is the all-new trac website. It has been an adventure getting it sorted out but it is up and running. We'll be expanding it as the months progress, so keep coming back to check in.

We had a fantastic time at the Conway Centre on Anglesey with a feast of traditional Welsh music, song and dance for beginner to advanced, with classes, workshops, sessions, and concerts.

Notes from the ground-breaking one-day conference organised by the Arts Council of Wales and trac are available below. The document, available in English and Welsh, includes contributions from David Francis of Scotland's Traditional Music Forum, Paul Flynn of Arts Council Northern Ireland, and trac's former director Siân Thomas, as well as an overview of the day's discussions by Einion Dafydd of ACW.
