has anyone ver heard of or been to this welsh pub in SF,on corner of 19th and Fulsom?
was in SF this weeka nd stumbled upon it,although I intended checking it out later in week. Anyway its closing on saturday 15th october,has been run by a guy called Titch from Cefn Coed,Merthyr for past twenty odd years. He's a reallyt interesting guy and the walls were covered in welsh ephemera including alsorts of artwork signed by a lot of welsh bands,SFA Manics,Stereos,Gorki's etc.
Titch was a good mate of Joe Strummer and this led him to do a lot of charity work for Nicaragua including establishing a music scholarship. He is leaving SF to set up a resort in Nicaragua called Strummer's including another Welsh bar called Dylan's. He told me that keith Allen was with Joe the night he died!
Anyway I reckopn the Western Mail or someone should do a piece on this demise of a welsh landmark,does anyone have a contact at the WM,I am quite capable of throwing something together but if nayone else has any recollections of info on the place maybe we could cobble something together,and do the WM accept submissions of mere mortals?
