They are also well known within south Wales music scene: Lilygreen as a covers performer and Maguire as a local music producer and member of a rock band. They came together in 2009 when their talent was spotted by Warner Bros. Music who soon secured the duo with a lucrative record deal. Their debut album will be released later this year.

Jon Lilygreen said: These gigs are going to be great fun for us and our fans. I cant wait to grab my guitar, pitch up at some fantastic locations and play free acoustic music in the open-air. Its going to be quite a challenge visiting so many venues across Wales, including a beach, a prom, a castle, a mountain and our hometown, Newport, hopefully our fans will come and support us and cheer us on.

Jon Maguire added: We love writing and performing our songs and thought wed like to give our fans a special preview of some of the songs that will be on our album. Weve played in front of thousands of people in big arenas but this Big Welsh Busk will be quite different well be up close and personal with our audiences and that will be an intimate experience.
