Front steps of St. David's Hall is where JDB used to busk 'La Bamba' on rugby international days.

It's just on (or around) Trade Street - Williams Court.
Is that where Faster Studios is? I had an awful job interview down there once with someone that tried to sell people Kitchens...

Yep, it's right by the infamous Trade Street Cafe. To be honest, it's quite well hidden and the building hardly shouts "recording studio" at you. I recognised the band's silver people carrier

I nearly got a job around there myself. There's a massive Lloyds Bank office just around the corner. Would have meant having to stalk the band on every lunch break, though!

The Brewhouse ones are hilariously bad.

The Coffee Number 1 shops are great but they have nothing to do with the Manics...

I'm yet to go and have a look at where they used to live in Swansea, however I work the floor below the place in which they played there first gig as a 4 piece band at Swansea University.

It's now an office for estates as the SU swapped floors.

Nothing ever changes, on the great western...



Bit of busking and shopping "taking off his turban they say is this man a jew"



Just a choice few shots. Oh and dr chris was there as embarrassing bodies was being filmed in Cardiff.

Everyone we met / spoke to were so friendly and nice. Love Wales and love cardiff
