I founded From Now On Festival in 2013 and was supported to make it happen by PRS For Music Foundation (2013-2017) and Arts Council Wales (2015 + 2016).
"Cardiff should feel privileged to host such an event."
"Cardiff often gets left off the list of cities to tour, particularly for musicians at the more experimental end of the spectrum. But green shoots spring forth in the form of From Now On, bringing more esoteric approaches to rock, psych and composition to South Wales"
"One of the most exciting and cutting edge contemporary music festivals”
