Modulate Last Shout Commissions

We are really pleased to announce that six new commissions have been allocated to six young disabled musicians from Disability Arts Cymru’s Modulate panel. The six chosen represent four songwriting/ recording projects, one video project and one podcasting project. Each of them will be addressing their experience of being a disabled creative in today’s society and their personal, sometimes painful, sometimes funny, experiences. They are all impressively accomplished young musicians and we can’t wait to see what they come up with.

The commissions will be available soon on DAC's Channel on AM - watch this space!
