SONIG Youth Music Industry

About Sonig
	SONIG Youth Music Industry Initiative was launched by Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council Arts Development Unit in October 2000 at the Radio ONE-1 Live Fringe Festival in Cardiff. It aims to empower and raise the confidence of young people, both by supporting those already active in the local music scene and by providing opportunities to encourage new participation. SONIG builds on and develops the success of the Community Music Wales SPLASH concert tours, a wide range of rock schools and workshops and the Rock the Park Millennium Festival Event, Pontypridd, May 2000.
