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 cookie in your internet jam jar. Any previews/reviews offer anonymous comments, so feel free to contribute. If you want to contact us, do so using the following gateway thejoycollective (at) googlemail (dot) com
