Pretty Shitty City

The team at Swansea Print Workshop would like to invite you to a public meeting where you will be able to find out exactly where they are with the exciting new Kings Lane Warehouse project. The evening will include a presentation of the design by the award winning architect Sarah Wigglesworth.

The event will take place at 7pm, Wednesday 20th May at Waterfront Community Church Conference Centre, Langdon Road (off Fabian Way), Swansea SA1 8QY.

“We would love for you to come along to show your support and find out more.  You can also register your support and find more details at www.kingslanewarehouse.org.uk.

Your support for this unique public facility is important to us, and we welcome everyone to attend at The Waterfront conference centre, in the new SA1 development. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to get an insight into the project.”

Here’s a press release from the bands;

“Two of South Wales‘ finest emerging new bands will top the ‘alternative’ bill at Pontardawe festival which sees its 30th anniversary this year.

No Obligation from Swansea and Project 25 from Neath will headline a full programme featuring the best from the South Wales scene on stage in the Leisure Centre theatre on Saturday 16th August.

No Obligation hit the stage at 9.30pm

It’s no coincidence that this will be the fourth consecutive year at Pontardawe for No Obligation, leading the best of the emerging new crop of Welsh bands onto a wider stage.

And it’s been a good year for the Swansea quartet, thanks in no small measure to singer Alex Taylor’s part in the DT8 project, which received nationwide attention, not to mention several high-profile support spots.

For Project 25, this will be their first taste of the Pontardawe experience.

Pontardawe festival has a long and proud tradition of supporting up and coming local bands. In recent years, however, space for the ever-increasing audiences that they draw has been a bit of a problem; hence the decision to move them indoors, where there will be much more room for everyone – on stage and off – to breathe and generally do their thing.
