The Local Music Scene in Pencoed, Glamorgan*

Pencoed, Glamorgan Record Shops and Venues

Record Shops

• The people desinging this website seem to have confused Pencoed with somewhere worth going!??!?! record shops? dunno, maybe ask Hurrish?
• Most of the younger generation like absurd groups that no one has ever heard of. Whatever happened to the likes of the Spice Girls and Boyzone, I'll never know.
• Jungle is pretty good. It's in Bridgend.
• GET ONE!
• None. This place is rather crap.
• Used to be a great one about 5 years ago, but closed down due to lack of interest. While it was going, it was mainly kept afloat by Ian Pickens, Anthony Lee and Nathan Woolls

Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.

Have Your Say...
