TODAY! Join us for our 5th Annual Focus Wales Showcase at Baker Falls 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
We’re teaming up once again with our dear friends Andy, Neal & Sarah from Focus Wales — the powerhouse international showcase festival held every May in Wrexham. If you’ve never been, Focus Wales transforms the city into a multi-venue celebration of new music, spotlighting the best of Wales alongside standout artists from around the world. It’s the most important export platform for Welsh music — and we’re proud to bring a slice of that energy to NYC.
This year’s lineup bridges Wales and beyond:
🔥
@benellismusic – A rising voice out of Wales, Ben Ellis blends sharp songwriting with soaring indie-rock emotion. He’s part of a new wave of Welsh artists carrying forward the country’s deep musical legacy — honest, anthemic, and built for big rooms.
🌊
@diary.sounds – Focus Wales alumni who made serious noise in Wrexham last May. Dreamy textures, punchy rhythms, and hooks that linger long after the set ends.
🦑
@twomangiantsquid – Venturing to Focus Wales this May, this duo brings chaos in the best way: jagged guitars, left-field pop instincts, and unpredictable live energy. And yes —
@liokanine will be joining them this May accompanying the festivities (with beer, not instruments).
💥
@tukan_band – All the way from Belgium and absolutely unstoppable. They crushed Focus Wales last year with their high-octane, groove-driven psych-funk explosions. If you like dancing, this one’s mandatory.
Schedule:
• 1:00–2:00 PM: Focus Wales Mixer
• 2:00 PM: Ben Ellis (Wales)
• 3:00 PM: Diary (US)
• 4:00 PM: Two Man Giant Squid (US)
• 5:00 PM: TUKAN (Belgium)
Come celebrate the spirit of Wales — a country that consistently punches above its weight musically — and connect with artists, industry, and fellow fans ahead of this May’s Focus Wales takeover.
