Dylan Thomas Centre - City and County of Swansea

7 Apr 2011 – The Dylan Thomas Centre is open 10am - 4.30pm seven days a week and celebrates Dylan Thomas, Swansea's world famous poet.

IF I CAN FIND TIME, I WILL DO A FEATURE ON THE GREAT SWANSEA PUB CRAWL FROM THE DUKE AND FULL MOON TO ADAM & EVE, THE GAY BARS THROUGH WIND STREET TO THE STRAND - GREAT MUSIC ALL THE WAY  - THAT IS IF YOU LIKE 50's and 60's ROCK AND ROLL, HEAVY METAL AND SOME 70's, 80's and 90's STUFF. Got to be fit for this one, fit to drink, fit to dance and maybe fit to fight, when ever I am in Swansea I try and make at least the Adam & Eve, the Strand or maybe the The Duke of York and The Hanbury. Hell of a good music scene in Swansea, if your 'Acculturalised' like me, otherwise there's always the Welsh Club but that's pretty 'crachy', teachers and Welsh Folk Music. Whatever's your bag? NB: Don't forget your faggots and larva bread, Cockles and Mussels in the Market before the booze I suggest. Me, think I will fly out to Cuba, I wish!

JUST DO NOT GO FALLING IN THE MARINA, like Splish! Splash! Splosh!
