The Joy Collective began to help promote the many gigs, clubnights and events that happen in Newport, Cardiff and Bristol.

We lean towards those independent promoters, full of passion and vision but empty pockets.

This site offers a week to week gig listing, previews of forthcoming releases and events, reviews of live gigs and music releases. A platform for independent promoters to shout off, a double-choc cookie in an internet sticky jam jar.

We also put on our own events. We'll put on shows anywhere on any date, but always put on our regular monthly JOY event at Meze Lounge in Newport. Every last thursday of the Month we put on two floors of live music and djs. Downstairs could be any genre, upstairs is electro 'dance fridge' hosted by DJ Vernon Tessio. Its all kicking off.
If you are interested in spitting some noise at us, do so via email, facebook or myspace links.

We are always looking for contributers to the site.

We love badges.
