    I've been to St David's hall a couple of times now, mainly for comedians like Ross Noble and Sean…read moreLock. As a venue, it plays hosts to a huge variety of acts and entertainment. In the coming week alone you can see acts as varied as Stan Stennett (?), Brian Conley, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Roy Chubby Brown. It's not the most aesthetically interesting or pleasing venue in Cardiff, being beaten hands down by the Millenium Centre in the Bay, but it nevertheless remains the favoured venue for most acts, probably due to it's slightly larger seating capacity of 2000 (as opposed to 1897 in the Millenium Centre). It still hosts the annual Welsh Proms aswell. My own experiences have all gone pretty smooth, with very little queuing and helpful, professional staff. I suppose it's good that there's nothing of note I can really say here, as the things that would tend to stick in your mind about something as general as a concert hall would in all likelihood have been bad experiences anyway. It's a top venue though and it's important to Cardiff as a city to have somewhere encouraging the arts and being constantly active in doing so.

    I have always found St David's Hall to be a little bit of a strange venue. That's not to say it's…read morenot good. Just odd. I think that's because it was, when built, quite a modern design, and that design was not universal enough to quite stand the test of time. What remains is an odd mixture of wood, green carpets and wide areas which make sense when they're full of people, but which are just tired when not. That being said, the selection of music, comedy, ballet and theatre in this venue is great. The theatre itself is vast, but seems much more intimate because of their carefully tiered seating. Seats encompass the stage, and there is a massive organ on display. Unfortunately, I've always found this venue to a little dampening to sound. Or the speakers aren't loud enough, or something. A good venue though.

    The Grand Theatre in Swansea has to be visited just for it's wonderful interior let alone great…read moreproductions. The Grand has hosted some fantastic shows, as well as concerts and also has an Art Wing which as well as hosting some great exhibitions has lunchtime performances and a Comedy Club on a regular basis. Acoustics are great in the theatre and even up in the eaves of the Upper Circle performances are clear to hear. There are a few restricted view seats but they are generally sold at lower prices and having sat in one a couple of times, only slightly restricted for most performances.

    I have a deep-seated love of the Grand Theatre as to me, it always seemed like an enormous hub of…read morethe arts and for a while, the ultimate stage on which to perform. It's an old, slightly falling apart Victorian theatre - you know the kind, gilding throughout, red velvet seats (bit shabby though, now), stalls, circle, upper circle Now that I'm a super mega star in London, Swansea Grand Theatre seems to be a quaint relic. The programming here is not great, big touring musicals and big name comedians mostly - as well as the panto of course. Which Neighbours star will feature this year? There is an Arts Wing upstairs which allows for slightly more interesting studio performances of smaller shows. Another strong memory for me was ballet classes here on a saturday morning - entering through stage door and scrambling through all the back passages, past dressing rooms and stage exits to get to the dance studios. Felt very showbiz as a kid. The Footlights cafe bar downstairs is alright, but because the theatre is located right in the middle of the city centre, you can find lots of places to enjoy a pre/post show drink/bite.
