The event, which takes place at the historic Miners Pavillion in Porthcawl on Saturday 19th February, has attracted growing media interest, with this year’s event forming part of an hour long documentary to be screened on the Welsh language S4C channel.

Line up

The line up of bands who will try to impress adjudicator Derek Broadbent is headed by 2010 British Open champion Tredegar, who will look to retain the magnificent Miners Trophy and claim the £1,000 top prize in what will be their first competitive outing of the season.
