A new report is calling for better access to Welsh language music for young people in rural communities.
A study by the music development group, Beacons Cymru, found not enough provision was being provided, particularly outside South Wales.
82% of those questioned called for more gigs - particularly in northern and rural areas - along with more bilingual songs and line ups, diversity and career opportunities in the industry, as well as better awareness.
The results of the Amlen study were published at the National Eisteddfod in Pontypridd - arguably the biggest annual showcase for Welsh language music.
Elan Evans, project manager at Beacons Cymru, said: "This report clearly states there is a demand for better provision of Welsh music for our rural communities in Wales and that there is a need for a better network of public transport for young people to have access to their culture."
"With cuts to the arts rampant in our country at the moment, asking for better opportunities for young people to access our music industry is more important than ever."
The study, compiled through focus groups, surveys and informal interviews, also found that transport, funding and gigs for young people from rural communities - who want to contribute to the industry - where considered to be key barriers to accessing opportunities.
It highlighted that not enough was being provided especially in north, mid and west Wales.
Beacons Cymru says it wants to break down barriers for young Welsh speakers purusing a music career.
The National Eisteddfod, which is being held in Pontypridd until Saturday, is hosting a wide range of bands and artists, including Maes B - the young people's village - which begins its series of late night gigs on Wednesday.
Daily live performances are also being staged around the Maes with the main outdoor stage (''Llwyfan y Maes'') playing host to headline sets from Eden, Gwilym, Meinir Gwilym, Aleghicia Scott and Morgan Elwy in the coming days.
There's also a smaller Caffi Maes B along with Y Ty Gwerin ('The Folk Tent') and Encore for more intimate folk, classical and contemporary live music.
