talking about the 70's
a certain bar manager was asking after you last night and whether you'd be up for exhibiting some Bluebird Jones stuff there?

and if you ever happen to be down on the second Sunday of the month you'd be very very welcome to join us playing some vinyl

Unsurprisingly they've pulled the ads now, still kinda wondering what on earth made them think it would be acceptable in the first place...

 

[ddraig]

[teqniq]

What?

Speaking of the '70s...

Cardiff's progressive sex shop, decades before Ann Summers muscled in on the action!

Whatever happened to it, I wonder?
