Initially created as a paper fanzine in 2017, Dukes of Scuba grew out of a personal need to discover and document improvised and experimental music in Wales.

Over the last few years DOS has eveolved into a webzine, label and concert/workshop series based in Bangor called 'Scratch'.

​

Across all of these activities the Dukes mission is to create a network for improvised music in Wales that will promote contemporary practice & unify existing grass roots groups, increase participation & widen the audience for practicioners working within the field of free improvisation.
