Venues such as Lakota and Motion are world leading. Bristol is the home of lots of music genres.. Trip hop and Drum and bass.. the latter is now a worldwide genre. The creator if the most famous street artist in the world, Banksy. I actually think Cardiff is a cultural dive.
Cardiff gets the big music acts, thanks to the Principality and Motorpoint, but Bristol obviously has more small venues and gets the pick of touring indie bands, which I am very jealous about. As for homegrown stuff, Trip hop was a *long* time ago now, and when the NME used to review local music scenes but couldn't really think of anything positive to say, they'd suggest the town had "a good drum n' bass scene".
No street art, NO underground music scenes, just women in cowboy hats during the six nations, and hardly any multiculturalism apart from some racial segregation in Butetown and Grangetown.
Street art, meh. And your comment about multiculturalism is patently ridiculous. You could equally well say that if you ignore St Paul's and a couple of other inner city districts Bristol is full of cider drinking yokels. And Cardiff has a good Welsh language music scene, which is *very* underground to the Sais.
The two cities are different. One is far ahead of the other, but the smaller one is growing quicker. About this new tower - when is the estimated construction
No argument there.
