Blackwood
Hello FD, it's been a long long time.
Has anyone ever been to Blackwood? I went to the Wye Valley last week and Blackwood was only an hour away and the drive looked very pleasant, and I'm a fanboy so I went there on a slightly ridiculous "pilgrimage" and asked in a cafe if there's any manics "landmarks" in the town. The cafe staff were slightly bewildered by the question, but suggested going to the wetherspoons down the road which had a couple of photos, and going to look at the miners institute (known as the 'stute). One of them said "we're really more into Joe Calzaghe here". We went to the wetherspoons and looked at a few pics of the manics around the entrance to the toilet, with a short biography under one of the bigger pics, and then left quite quickly as it was frankly odd to be hanging around the loos in wetherspoons at 1pm (or I suppose any time of day really). Just found it kind of interesting that Blackwood has no real "recognition" of some of their most successful and famous sons - but I dunno if that's because the band has been so disparaging about the place in the past?
