Focus Wales 2016 – Day One (Video & Pics Special)

The wonderful weather yesterday provided the perfect backdrop for the first day of this year’s Focus Wales festival.

Our friends from Wrexham TV were floating around town and have managed to film, produce and have a few beers inside the last few hours to create the following video sampler of the first day.

We have also sorted an official Focus Wales filter on Snapchat, so add FocusWales on there – and been in the right place in town to use it over the remaining three days!

Glyndwr had / has a live stream from Glyndwr’s Creative Industries building of their Focus ‘Take Over’ inclunding live sessions (and replayable) from: Skellums, Anna Houghton, AP Cooper, Campfire Social, Dave Elwyn, Jon Coley, Into The Ark, Alx Green and Darren Eedens.

Town centre venues hit yesterday afternoon and evening include the Royal Oak, St Giles, UNDEGUN, Rewind and Saith Seren.

Below is Bloodflower is a collaboration between two long-term friends; artist, Jonnie Owen and producer, Tom Manning. Top picture is of Doppelganger – who are a very promising Wrexham based 4 piece band, creating lots of early buzz on the North East Wales alt/rock scene.

Tonight will see Peter Hook’s DJ set in Central Station after his keynote earlier in the day – with other gigs and events on through town.
