Just been sent a memo from Venue Cymru telling me whats on,it consists of 4 nights for the whole month,i will check just incase other things are sold out and they have;nt included them,lets hope its not just 4 nights its used this month.

I;am wrong ,apologies Venue Cymru,looks busy and they seem to have taken the Theatre Colwyn stuff off the Cymru site.

Further signs of the strangeness of the running of this place - in the last 2 weeks I've had 2 text messages from orange asking me if I want half price tickets to see both Ed Byrne and Jason Manford - I've just got tickets for the latter for £11.50 each! They clearly can't be selling a lot of tickets

I might have been tempted to go and see Ed Byrne if I'd been offered half price tickets but I'm with O2  . 

Looking at the online booking the two Jason Manford shows are both more or less fully booked with the exception of a few pockets of available seats up in the gods.

I went to Telfords Warehouse last nite to watch Llandudno band Catfish and the Bottlemen,now i don;t expect you dinosaurs to know much about modern music but what a shame i had to go to England to watch a local band.We cannot blame Venue Cymru for this but surely they could approach their promotors and offer the Hall upstairs for the locals to watch,obviously this would need some effort so forget it.

Hey Wrex, Dinosaurs eh?  You'll be calling us all 'Grandad' soon..   
Are you going to rename yourself T-Wrex?

Now, Festersaurus here, has seen Catfish and The Bottlemen twice and loved them, MAN!

I have also seen Zebedy,  a furiously good local metal band.... and I loved them even more!

Neither of them are much good. Courteous Thief aren't bad if you're talking local bands.

Anyway felt the full blow of venue cymrus 'admin fee' last night as they charged both me and my brother £3. I had totally forgotten about their 'bandit fee' and so we elected to pay separately. However they could clearly see we were together, it would not have hurt them to be helpful and suggest we pay together to avoid paying twice! Most unhelpful of the 4 ticket staff standing around doing naff all 

This fee is clearly there to boost up there ailing finances straight from the punter's pocket. It will do them no good, If I can at all help it I'd much rather see a show in Colwyn Bay or Rhyl - better acts and more value for money!

When was the new job advertised for the Venue

[wrex]

Any sign of a gig in the Arena,it has never been this long without at least one gig on the horizon,it was back in May that the last gig took place and there is absolutley nothing booked,such a shame.For those of you who are not sure what i am talking about it is the Arena which holds 2,500 people standing,the idea was they would bring in live groups and help keep the local youth happy and bring in thousands to the town with people staying over,useing the towns pubs,clubs,retaurants and take-aways,the Vaccines were the last to perform,a disgrace and waste of a building.

Perhaps it is time for the mass of Staff the place has, to put on a show.  They certainly have plenty of time to rehearse!   

Venue Cymru Follies sound about right!

Maybe we could stage a Wrestling Show in there?

Main Event: 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan vs 'Beast of Bradford' Fester

Venue Cymru sent me an E- Mail yesterday to say that the Daniel O' Donnell concert has been cancelled. Not that I was going , but some people will lose bookings for their accommodation.

It's a well written piece and he does make a lot of good points. But I'm curious: throughout the blog there are two very different writing styles. Wonder if there's a co-author?

It seems there are three other authors. I think.
