Swansea Part 2
In part 2 of this weeks Scuzzy Escape I return to some of the places where my time playing in rock bands all started. I go back to the very first place I played
in a band with other people and remember some of the great experiences it gave me, as well as a re-visit my old comprehensive school and find some disturbing content
On a council estate nearby. After getting lost in the thick fog and mist I make a quick stop at another rehearsal place with a grave history then move on to some more memorable places
Including one that most of you will have interacted with at some point if you drive a car in the UK.
Come with me on a journey of memories in the life of a man growing up in the 70s and 80’s in the South Wales city of Swansea, sometimes known as Twin Town.
There’s more exploring to come in Part 3 and who knows, maybe the sun will come out a bit.
