For over 30 years we have promoted arts, education and community activities; integrating them into the community life of Presteigne and the surrounding area of mid Wales and the borders.
MBA brings artists and the community together with its exciting programme of events which runs throughout the year including performances by many well known, international artists and musicians as well as local professionals.
A master collaborator, songwriter, cellist and artist in her own right, Beth Porter has integrated herself into many areas of the music world. She has been likened to Cat Power, The Beatles, REM, This Is The Kit, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Radiohead, Sandy Denny, The Incredible String Band and The Kinks. With a classical background, a venture into folk music, and a love of simple pop songs, there’s nothing quite like Beth’s songwriting. It is quintessentially English yet understated and original.
