About me:
29 year old North-Easterner exiled in Cardiff (all details correct at time of going to press). Vices include an addiction to rock 'n' roll, a near-addiction to alcohol and an unrelenting and most tragic attachment to Newcastle United. Virtues? Well, that's not for me to say.

FYI, don't bother with the link in my last post. If you do, definitely don't give them your login details - what kind of idiot would do that anyway?! ;o)

If you already gave them your details, change your password asap.

This Wednesday for a measly £2 you can enjoy a 5hr feast of musical
adventure at Buffalo Bar. First up we have Cardiff's revered country
Exponents, Silver Spurs, check them out here.

Then we have Chris Ronco and The Fuzz Cowboys starting off with some fuzzy
country and moving on into a full on psych shindig till 2am.

Free entry to people in FULL cowboy or cowgirl get up.
