OmeDunk Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 At the end of november we (a dutch band) will be gigging at a family celebration kind of gig in Swansea. Can you please help me by giving me any advice about local companies for renting a PA and backline? Any other recommendations about where to stay, things to do / see and how to travel are welcome also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debwilliams Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi There are lots of places to visit that are close to Swansea - great beaches / coastline, restaurants, pubs/nightclubs so depending on what you want to do when you visit there are a few of us based in the area that can recommend different ideas. As for places to stay, if you let me know where you are playing I can give you an idea of some places you can look at for accommodation.

CPBass Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Im not aware of Backline hire companies in this neck of the woods, best thing to do is contact the local music shops Cranes (Swansea) [font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]Unit 9-11 Saint Davids Square, Swansea, W Glam SA1 3LG[/size][/font] 01792 654840 Rowlands Music www.Rowlandsmusic.com Between them they will know who's doing what in the area. Hope it helps Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime17 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 All of this - PLUS try and watch the film 'Twin Town' before you go - it's kind of like a tourist board video for Swansea Only kidding - brilliant film tho and it's genuinely set and filmed in Swansea so at least it'll get you used to the accent.

OmeDunk Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks for the help! I mailed the music stores. Hopefully they can help me. And I am very curious about that film too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sime17 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ok so it doesn't exactly offer a glowing reference but it doesn't pretend to be a documentary either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmeDunk Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 So I understand the gig is somewhere in the Jersey Marine area. By the way: I mailed the two local music shops, but still no answer. I'll try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
