The band changed a few weeks ago. Any idea who is there now. Ps I loved the old band (my mate plays bass for them) they are now at the Music Rooms.


Its the only 'welsh bar' I have ever been in..not sure apart from the name, what was Welsh about it..

The old band were decent but someone decided to have their amps set to maximum. That was just not needed.
