Chapter is a venue for contemporary arts and culture, rooted in the heart of Cardiff, Wales.
Established by Artists in 1971 to celebrate experimentation and radical thought, we’ve been a catalyst for creativity and critical thinking ever since.
Working class,minimum wage jobs are rife and life hard-simply working to live,and put a food on the table. I’m a single parent,so I dig anything that gives me a kick that’s not drugs/costs much money,i have to make money for one last for two-so I don’t grudge people who can live from their art-if u can,go for it.I like that they care about the tunes too,being a musician myself.
I saw Captain Sensible fall off stage in Toronto 30-04-2017 after the first encore, almost complete amazing show. Thought he was stage diving, pretty cool for an old guy, til the band stopped playing.
We saw this at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff and thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition. George Barber is a very talented, insightful and thought-provoking Artist. My son and I sat on the floor to watch the 'Akula Dream video installation, and when it came to the love bit, with all of the romantic music, we threw the petals in the air! The huge screen; loud music and management of lighting made the whole experience feel very immersive and more meaningful somehow. I'm a huge fan, personally, of Derek Jarman's work and see many similarities with this and many of George Barber's video installations. It's truly very exciting and inspiring work. Barber is definitely one to follow! Suggestions might be: The Freestone Drone, Fenses Make Senses and Akula Dream.. to name just a few. They're ALL good.

+jamesaellis Hi James. Unfortunately we had a major technical problem with the Henry V panel and weren't able to record it. You can read a Storify of tweets from the discussion here: storify.com/Chapter/celebrating-shakespeare-henry-v-panel-discussion
I was at this showing of the damned film.I took the whole family the staff at the chapter house were great.being rated 18a we were approached a number of times and in a polite and respect full manner asked if we were aware of the language content of the film.While entering the cinema when asked again my 9 year old decked out in leather jacket D,Ms and her red berry told staff she heard worst in the play ground and out of her old mans mouth on a daily basis.Paul Gray and Bryn were both brilliant and talked to both my 9 and 15 year old signing a couple of covers.sadly the signature of Bryns is likely to be the last or one of the last he did.Wes Orshoski was really nice to us all to.So thanks to everone there.Rollins is a ass hole!
Why didnt you interview cockroach then are you having a laugh relevant??? fuckin joke respect n that for the sleaford mods old school punx mods skins but come on? more north in scarborough UK82 SUSS THAT ONE
This was great, thanks for posting. Good to see Bryn, probably only a couple of months before he died unfortunately. I found the anecdotes really interesting, especially about Paul Gray's last gig in 96. I was at that gig, saw him get hit in the face after half a dozen songs, walked off and didnt come back, and it seemed there was no more to it than that. He went into more detail about the incident and showed there was more to it than just getting a flying object in the mush. Interesting. I could have watched this for hours, I just wish it was longer than 41 mins !
I didn't like watch this "Coronation Street" interview. What I expected was The Damned one of the Best punk and also Rock bands in UK. But this talking is worthless.
It's refreshing to see punk interviews without Rollins. He certainly didn't invent punk. Not even close. Just another fan who got lucky along the way. End of story.
+Ted Cantu Many "Punks" were merely fans who got "lucky" along the way. How do you think bands like the Clash, Pistols and the Damned got started? They were fans of other bands like the Ramones, the Stooges and the Dolls. Why would you even assume that Rollins thinks he invented punk? Most people are just asked to appear as talking-heads, and if you watch a lot of music-documentaries about punk, they generally include the same people. Don't blame Henry for that, blame the producers.
***** I've no idea what you mean, my comment was in response to somebody who claimed Rollins "got lucky," obviously, my point was that they all "got lucky," if you believe in luck, as opposed to, y'know, statistics... They were all fans of some band or another, it means nothing.
***** LOL. Once again, you have no idea what I was talking about. If you actually had the comprehension of a functioning adult, as opposed to an autistic house-fly, you'd understand what I was saying, in the most clear and coherent way. I NEVER mentioned anything about what you're babbling about. My post was directed at the person who stated "Rollins got lucky..." Erm, they ALL got lucky. But thanks for embarrassing yourself, you spaz.
***** LOL, what's funny is that you wrongly assumed I said something that I never said, started ranting about Rollins, were corrected on your pedantic mistake, and are now in full-on damage-control because you embarrassed yourself. How awkward. The post I was responding to was regarding Henry being a fan who got lucky, to which I typed "they were all fans who got lucky," so wtf were you talking about in your response with that Dr. Feelgood nonsense? lol, can you actually explain your mistake? Either you're foreign or you have learning difficulties. Next time, make sure you actually know what a person has said before proceeding to embarrass yourself.
