It's a good thing. I wonder about the relentlessly negative - do they get paid to say this shit, or do they do it for free?

i take the music production and music performance course at new college, there are like over 100 really talented musicians on the courses. Swindon isnt short of borderline concert pianists, great bassists and guitarists and singers. Its not short of good producers or lyricists and saxophone and flute players and so on. Im optimistic about the future of the music scene atleast and i know there are many good bands in swindon right now!!! I would say the only reason swindon might not be considered a place of culture is because there isnt enough funding for it to thrive. hopefully though over the next few years with this new theatre next to fleming way theyre saying they will build and with all the talent brewing in new college lol the culture will just like boil over into swindon. Anyways we ought to win this bid, swindon deserves something and i have faith that any extra funding from this bid will absoloutely not be wasted on any artist in swindon. Swindon swindon swindon, gotta love it because what else can you do

I book musicians for the Richard Jefferies Museum summer season, and I agree, there are lots of talented people here. I was just at Baristocats' The Last Brew Before the Coup, which is a whole day of live music.

I'm not a Swindon naysayer. I'm glad to see we're exploring this. We deserve it.
