Cardiff chitter-chatter, news and more

Fuck it playing Squash at 6:45 then taking a drive down there for a look anyways.... have sharipes and spray paint :D
 
Apparently posters are/were around the Student's Union by a phone box but may have been removed by now.

Working down the Bay fist thing so going to take a drive up there in daylight tomorrow on the way back..... bit silly now it's so dark.
 
Hope it works
bit sceptical, lot of buzzwords
Cardiff is going to be named the UK's first 'music city'

Music will be placed at the heart of Cardiff’s future when the Welsh capital is officially declared a Music City tomorrow - the first of its kind in the UK.

Work will then begin to develop of a new music strategy which those behind it say will protect Cardiff’s music scene and boost the city’s international profile.

This strategy will see Cardiff leading the way in the UK in assessing the ways in which music can help create the type of city people want to live in.
 
Falling into the trap of thinking some unrepresentative council executives can tell people what to like or think leads to tyranny. The motivation is always to create a little job for themselves, take back-handers and free concert tickets from the music promotors they're subsidising and put up our taxes. Once they have the music scene dependent on their subsidises and council venues, the next thing, they'll be subsidising bands with weird sexual preferences to further their political agenda and banning groups they don't like. Look at the Edinburgh Festival. If people want to watch a band, they will. If they don't, they won't - that's the free market place of capitalism where people drive the culture, not the nanny state.

I don't suppose you've got any reliable sources to back up any of this? And how does this support your claim that Cardiff is 'such a bore'?

Now you're just repeating yourself, like an internet weirdo.
 

How does it prove that exactly? Have you ever even been?
Well, let's look again... Roof slates and new wine bars for pseuds - lots of anthropological interest there: silly me. My experience there was being refused service for 15 mins and then refused drinks in a pub we'd spent 20 mins walking to. I guess you don't have to drink to enjoy yourself but it seemed a little ideosyncratic for a Friday night at the time.
