I'd like to meet:
JOY are independent promoters fron S.Wales made up of members of the band Frommars and Matt J from Diverse Records in Newport.
They currently put on regular shows every last Thursday of the month at Meze Lounge, 6 Market Street, Newport.
They do add other events if either need/demand requires them too.
We also run THE JOY COLLECTIVE , a blog & gig guide for everything musical in Newport, Cardiff & Bristol.
JOY events can be described as electropunkybigbeatindieprogexperimentalpowerpop over two rooms. Plenty to see and hear.
