I was DJing there only last Friday, now it’s finished.

Full statement from The Point.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Point has been a terrific place for the music scene in Cardiff. I have witnessed and participated in so many awesome gigs and events there. Just off the top of my head, who remembers Polar Bear, Johnny Clarke, Candi Staton, Euros Childs and Threatmantics, Roy Ayers, Mary Anne Hobbs and Virus Syndicate, Richard James, Devendra Banhart, Oxjam, Super Furry Animals, Faust, Horace Andy, Bounceathon (twice), Secret Garden (several), Beirut and David Holmes, Swn Festival (twice), Soft Hearted Scientists, Josephine Foster, Battles and Truckers Of Husk, Lightning Bolt and DJ Scotch Egg, Iron and Wine, The Fall…? That’s just a few.<\/p>\n

It’s such a shame to see that they now have to close, brought on by extremely short-sighted planning of nearby apartments<\/a> – which led to noise complaints<\/a> and unexpected costs in already tight economic conditions. This kind of situation is not unique for a gig venue in the UK either.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
