ONE OF THE MAJOR ISSUES IN WALES IS ACCESSIBILITY. I’M FROM NEWPORT AND THERE’S ONLY ONE ENGINEER THAT I KNOW WHO OFFERS PROFESSIONAL STUDIO TIME, ENGINEERING AND MASTERING FOR A VERY REASONABLE FEE. NEWPORT IS ONE OF THE MOST URBAN AND LARGEST PLACES IN WALES AND THERE’S ONLY ONE STUDIO. IMAGINE IF I LIVED IN A MORE RURAL AREA? I MAY HAVE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO STUDIO AND AS A RESULT OF THIS, I MAY HAVE NEVER RECORDED ANY MUSIC.”
