ahh shucks!

Nah. Fuck the guardian and its guides but Cardiff is in massive need of more gigs and club nights.

Nobody ever plays here, and the nightlife after last orders is nonexistent.

Whaddya mean? I had the dubious pleasure of visiting Metros on Wednesday. Open till 4am and the worst lager I've ever tasted!

Ah, the place stinks of feet and stuff but it's still the number one alternative music choice. I'd have said the same about Clwb as well if we'd been talking about the place, but we ain't.

look at this laughable crap!!
Buskers have to send 'audition tapes' to council before getting a license

would love to know who's going to be judging them

A letter seen by WalesOnline from the council states that from July 1 all buskers will need a licence.

It adds that buskers will be asked to send a clip of their performance to "assess their suitability and standard".

The council would not provide further detail on how a busker's suitability and standard would be judged.

I'm willing to work on the judging panel. Pan pipers - NO!

In reality it is a bit shit though. Would Toy Mic Trev ever have stood a chance of getting a licence?

Exactly! the saxophone man with his Careless whisper and Hotel California does my head in but others love it
Don't believe the council wouldn't try and monetise it at some point in future either, despite saying licence is free

Calls to end city's 'heritage homicide'

"Heritage homicide" is taking place in Cardiff with a failure to use historic buildings to attract visitors, a marketing expert said.

Roger Pride called for "imaginative uses" for architectural gems, many of which are around St Mary Street.

His warning comes as chain restaurants continue to move in - with a complex being built on nearby Church Street.

A Cardiff council spokesman said planning applications for buildings were judged on their merits.

Licensed premises in the city have risen by 20% since 2013 with numbers predicted to keep growing.

Historian Bill Jones questioned if the city was being shaped around catering for "big event" crowds and the growing influx of students in high rises.
