GROW VISION MUSIC & MWR&BC Proudly Presents WELL HUNG HEART live at The Muse Brecon

WELL HUNG HEART live in WALES… Explosive, genre-defying, and unapologetically raw — WHH is returning to the stage for a one-off show in Wales to help celebrate the 12th year of The MWR&BC at The Muse in Brecon. This will be the band’s only scheduled Wales appearance for 2026, making it a rare and unmissable performance. Formed by Greta Valenti and Robin Davey, WHH has carved out a fierce reputation for their incendiary live shows, blending garage rock, blues, punk, and a splash of soul into a sound that’s as rebellious as it is unforgettable. The line-up will feature Valenti and Davey alongside original drummer Phil Wilson and more special guests tba, delivering a high-voltage set packed with fuzzed-out riffs, primal vocals, and unapologetic attitude. From the U.S. West Coast to stages across the UK and Europe, WHH’s live shows are equal parts sonic assault and immersive performance art. This intimate gig at The Muse will be a rare opportunity to witness the band’s full force up close. More at. wellhungheart.com Special Guest will be.

Cycle from the top of Wales to the bottom 6th

Highway Adventures presents the Welsh Cycling Challenge in 2026, where you'll cycle the length of Wales over 3 days. Cycling the length of Wales is approximately 210 miles and is not something to take lightly. However, as tough as it may be, the sense of achievement you'll feel when you reach Cardiff Bay is incomparable. It’s a fantastic way to see Wales, with breathtaking views of Welsh scenery along the way. This trip is fully supported. You will be joined by John, who will cycle alongside you and handle navigation. John is an experienced cyclist who has completed this challenge multiple times. He is also a skilled bike mechanic in case repairs are needed. We will also meet you at checkpoints with our minibus and trailer, carrying food, water, parts, and more so you can cycle light. This challenge is perfect for fundraising for your chosen charity. We can help promote your fundraiser across our social media channels, and we have plenty of tips to assist with raising money. Pickup Information We will be departing from Builth Wells at 6 am latest on day 1. If you'd prefer to arrive the day before, we can assist with transportation from train stations like Hereford or Merthyr Tydfil to Mid Wales. Secure parking is also available if traveling by car.

Brecon Jazz Festival Hot Club Gallois

Hot Club Gallois are a dynamic 4-piece gypsy-jazz band based in South Wales playing the hottest picks of the Swing Era. Their irresistible mix of fiery violin, lyrical vocals, virtuosic guitar and stomping bass has thrilled crowds around the British Isles. There set contains Django Reinhardt classics, Swing flavoured jazz standards and some Hot Club Gallois originals. From gypsy to jitterbug, ballads to bolero, Hot Club Gallois will transport you to the swirling dance halls and gypsy camps of Paris in the 1930's and 40's. https://www.hotclubgallois.com/ Facebook hotclubgallois https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XymZbvzTl_E https://youtu.be/bRq7ci_N5CE?si=BPfE7ywgZYDEnYPJ XENIA PORTEOUS - Violin Fast and furious improvisation on a knife edge is Xenia's idea of a fun night out. Her fledgling career to date has included several TV and radio credits including the BBC, ITV and S4C. She's performed in some great venues like the 02 in London and the Royal Albert Hall, and plays regularly in a number of musical styles from classical to disco. Although Xenia grew up with the violin she didn't study at music college, believing the pressure of earning a living from music would take away the joy of playing. In 2013 in a kind of pre-mid-life crisis she resigned from a lucrative finance job and escaped to South America for 6 months where she realised that music was too important not to be the focus of her life.

Brecon Jazz Festival Jack Pearce Quintet

Described as “A band about to make its mark on UK Jazz”, The Jack Pearce Quintet showcases Jack’s original compositions that pay homage to jazz traditions while injecting a fresh, inventive spirit. A band of Leeds Conservatoire Alumni, the Jack Pearce Quintet focuses on a fusion of melodic and technical excellence. Experienced thanks to Brecon Jazz Club here at The Muse back in November 2025, the festival is thrilled to have these musicians bringing their fantastic energy and sound back to Brecon! Drawing influence from Post-bop and 90s world fusion, the original compositions have a uniquely open and interactive approach. The bands strength is particularly apparent in a live setting where countless hours have been dedicated to every facet of the music, then refined on the stage, culminating in an exciting musical experience. Strong rhythms underpin vibrant, playful melodies creating a fusion complimentary to both traditional and modern jazz. Coming off the success of their first UK tour, the Jack Pearce Quintet are quickly building a reputation as a band to watch on the UK jazz scene.
