The WIT Music Festival for women is the only festival of its kind in the UK .

It was created as a as a showcase for female musicians and a place of encouragement and inspiration where women could become involved in or learn about music with a supportive atmosphere in which any womn could get up on stage and perform.

The success of the festival has meant that it is now an annual date in many women's diaries. Is it in yours yet?

Courses & Workshops

OCN Accredited courses for women held in Swansea and West Wales.

Sound Engineering

Do you want to be a sound engineer? Are you a musician wanting to improve your sound? It doesn't matter how good a musician or how talented a singer you are, when your band is playing you are at the mercy of the sound engineer!

The aim of the course is to give a general introduction to live sound work. All sessions are taught with a hands on approach to give you the maximum amount of practical experience. So whether you are a musician who just wants to know how a P.A. system works or you have no particular musical talent but fancy a career as a professional sound engineer, this is a good introduction and an excellent chance to play with the equipment. We will use live musicians at stages during the course, so you can set them up as for a live performance and carry out a sound check. You will also have the opportunity of trying out your new skills at Women in Tune evening performance events under the supervision of your tutor.

‘I am pleased I did the course, I have learned so much'

‘I have decided to go further into it. It was the best – thanks'
