Just a wee correction, that spot on the Strand that you believed was the site of the Cardiff Arms was in fact the site of the old George Bros warehouse which was only recently demolished! The site of the Cardiff Arms is now the back area of the redeveloped stone warehouse that has Base Kamp Coffee at the bottom. Thanks for the video! Good to see Swansea
Just googled Addis, fascinating history, and the origins of the toothbrush. My mum had the Addis full kitchen ware set in the 70s, bright orange as I remember. Another great video
Interesting video, however, Scuzzy London can be excused for getting the location for the Cardiff Arms pub' incorrect, where ScuzzyLondon is standing when talking about the pub' is on the section of road (The Strand) behind Lidl (once the site of Sainsbury's Homebase), the pub's location was further down The Strand, approximately 300 metres away at the side of King's Lane. Paul Durden was a legend in Swansea, a fabulous guy, full of wit and wonder, who I'd known as a friend for 50+ years, his demise has left a huge hole in the Swansea scene; he is greatly missed.
Ah great yes Slate Street i remembered later. Incredibly Mark was at a gig i played in years later in the PS Bar in Bridgend with my band Vincent probably around 2012 ish ?

Yes i had a feeling at the time i might be a tad off the mark, but figured id go with it anyway. Funny how 20 odd years fades the memories a bit eh !
@@ScuzzyLondon Still a fine collection of fun vid's.
The studio you showed photos of at 2:40 is Slate Street Studios, which Marc and I ran in the mid-1990s.

@@ScuzzyLondon I don't recall that recording session, though. It could have been after I moved to London. What year was that?
