Best club Swansea ever had.

Friday nights were superb in there.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

Yes, I thought that.

I remember going into Dora’s one Friday night (c.81) with a friend who’d come down from London and as we got to the bottom of the steps the first thing we saw was someone smashing a pint glass over another punter.

So, don’t know about him saying there was never any trouble or in fact there were no proper glasses or bottles?

What is it used for now, or has it just been left as it was

The owner said there was never any real trouble there

Not sure about that 😊

It was one of the few places I never went to but some of my friends went and they always had stories of fighting, drugs and other stupidity. One of them went there purely because he enjoyed a good bust up and he was always allowed back in.

I preferred classier establishments, like Shades!

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Not sure about that, but they did film it in a building we renovated opposite the police station, in the library part of it.

Nah, it was never a hotbed for fighting in my experience, but if you wanted a scrap, it would be more than welcoming. Talk of the Abbey in Neath was the worst club for fighting in my experience, but in my era that was mostly down to Swansea / Cardiff, or when a bus load of valley boys with their winkle picker shoes and white socks used to come down.

They filmed it in the Exchange Buildings, but in the part entered through the main entrance opposite the Queens pub.

Thought so, definitely saw Adam And The Ants there-pre pop star days. Think Buzzcocks as well, and either Siouxsie or UK Subs, possibly The Cure. So long ago...

I used to bop away with my wine coloured cotton traders corduroy shirt on ,back in the summer of 95&96..... The shirt had a breast pocket in which I'd put loose change.....not my wisest of moves, as when any ska music came on the shapes I threw used to see coins flying out over the dancefloor......the ladies used to giggle and in fairness many were very tidy in picking up my shrapnel.....they loved my Carmarthen mannerisms and trail blazing fashion sense.

Yes it was called Circles for a long while, even though everyone referred to it as Dora’s.

I remember Sham 69, the Buzzcocks, Adam & the Ants, the Slits, the Lurkers all playing there in the punk heyday. It was rumoured the Pistols were booked at some stage but they basically weren’t allowed to play anywhere at that time
