Radio Wigwam is the UK’s leading grassroots radio station which broadcasts globally 24/7 and on digital radio in Cardiff.

After the success of last year'’'s Grassroots Connect event, in 2026, to support our 9th Annual Awards, Radio Wigwam and LMSUK are teaming up with Amplead to bring you a night packed with live music, real connections, and rare access to industry professionals – all in an intimate, artist-friendly setting. Whether you’re looking to get your music heard, meet people who can move your career forward, or just soak up some incredible performances, this is the night you don't want to miss.

By popular demand, this year we're introducing face-to-face feedback sessions with a panel of music industry pros. The feedback sessions run from 11:00am – 6:00pm. Each artist selected gets their chosen track listened to by a live panel that can give you thoughtful, detailed feedback. It's all professionally recorded – and you'll get a copy to keep and refer back to! Come for the music. Stay for the opportunities. Leave with real connections and insight.
