This will be the second tour of it’s kind organised by the society following the success of the first held in November 2006. The aim is to hold quality gigs in every part of the country and build up the popularity of those bands who are touring.On top of performing at the recent Radio Cymru Rock and Pop Awards, Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog claimed the ‘Best Newcomers’ award and were also nominated in the ‘Best C2 Studio Session’ award category. Their unique brand of country-rock music have made them popular amongst Welsh music fans and tour coordinator, Owain Schiavone, said “they are already one of the most popular new bands in Wales and we hope to build on that and take them on to the next level. They are also due to release an album so the tour will be a good opportunity to promote that release.”Yucatan also hope to release their first album in May following the success of the promotional tracks they have released for radio airplay. Schiavone said “Yucatan’s music is truly beautiful and this tour will give them more opportunity to perform live. We are also very pleased to have Mr Huw on board as his music is so clever and good fun – everyone loves Mr Huw.”Two extra locations have been added since the original tour as it visits Denbigh, Porthmadog, Bangor, Aberystwyth, Carmarthen and Cardiff over a months period. The tour kicks off in Denbigh Rugby Club on 12th April and draws to a close in Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach on 4th May.· For further information about Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog and to hear their music visit their MySpace site.· For further information about Yucatan and to hear their music visit their MySpace site.· For further information about Mr Huw and to hear his music visit his MySpace site.
