"This year is a meeting of minds, and we've collaborated with BBC Radio Wales' Adam Walton and BBC Radio Cymru's C2 to put on the finest new bands from Wales and beyond, that we are supporting and championing on our various shows. This Swn night, split across two stages at Chapter Arts Centre will be recorded and broadcast on all three stations on the various shows. Adam on Sunday at 10pm, C2 Monday to Friday from 8pm and BBC Introducing in Wales on R1 from Wed at Midnight through to Thursday morning." "If anything it was just hard to narrow the choice down to eight new bands, but there’s a real mix of rock n' roll, hardcore, folk, pop, shoegaze, electro, screamo, and punk on the night, and Chapter is such a wonderful venue and location. We hope it adds something to the festival as a whole, and makes 2010′s Swn festival something special."
