Over the past few years there's not much that Urban Circle haven't tried in the world of festival appearances, BBoy Championships and now Internet Radio at www.urbancircle.co.uk. On Sunday 17th they bring their crew to the Main Stage at Crow Point.
As
if that was not enough, Dennis, Station Manager for Urban Circle Radio,
launched the 1st ever NEWPORT TOP 20 MUSIC CHART on July 26th. Working through
a weekly voting system it is similiar to the internationally known Billboard
Charts, playing all genres.
Dennis says that Urban Circle's 'Newport Top 20' will be 'a breath of fresh air for the outlying and less culturally diverse areas of Newport, where the musical taste are less urban and more pop, metal and rock with a load of young talented bands eager to make an impression.'
Inside sources claim that the management is keen to encourage all genres, give all who are talented enough a chance to shine and show that they are serious about Wales' newest city being known for its music as well as its number of bridges (and how close they are to each other)
If nothing else it should be fun for the youth, whilst the rest of the UK and the world holds its breath to see what the home of GLC have to offer. Bring It On UC!

From the semi-natural ancient woodlands of Coed Wen and Plas Machen to the meadows at Llanmartin and the wet pastures and reen systems of the Levels, Newport has a wealth of habitats and wildlife. You can find out more by meetingNewport's Countryside Team at Crow Point Festival.
One thing you shouldn't miss if you come to the festival by bike is the Newport Wetlands Reserve. The Reserve was created as compensation for the loss of habitat caused by the building of the barrage in Cardiff Bay. Reedbeds, lowland wet grassland, saline lagoons, and saltmarsh have been created over 438.6 ha between Uskmouth and Goldcliff.
