Cardiff is a pivotal city in the UK music scene, with a rich history of helping local acts launch nationally, and giving established bands a joyful homecoming. From the Principality Stadium to grassroots venues, The Sound of Cardiff explores how the city lifts up Welsh artists from every direction. In this mini documentary, Casey, CHROMA, Dream State, Funeral For A Friend, Holding Absence and Skindred all discuss what the South Wales music scene has meant to them.
“The Sound of Cardiff allowed us to reflect on our roots and pay tribute to the Cardiff music scene, which has been instrumental in our growth as artists,” said Funeral For A Friend. “Cardiff isn’t just a backdrop for our journey; it’s the heartbeat of our music, the place that made us who we are.”
