The report, entitled ‘A Spotlight on Sŵn Music Festival 2016’, was the culmination of the group’s pilot project with Sŵn Festival. It includes a whole range of contributions reporting on case studies on the performer’s journey, a research survey, and interviews of festivalgoers. It also provides information about the Sŵn Music Museum, a collaboration between the festival and the research group, with help from StoryworksUK.
