SAIN 50

11 January - 18 April 2020

SAIN has been an accompaniment to the lives of the people of Wales since the late 60's, and the music and songs have been a soundtrack to various periods in our history - everyone has a story, and often there is a song to accompany that story. After half a century of recording and publishing, this is an archive of national treasure, and a very important part of the culture and heritage of Wales – this exhibition highlights some of the labels, recordings and history during the last 50 years.
