• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Many years ago got talking to Keith Hodge in Llanelli, he intoduced himself in polite conversation. No idea who he was but after a while the small talk got around to music of that time period , the very early 70s .

He claimed he had done the drumming on Can the Can by Suzi Quatro , maybe a dream he had .

Tinternet was way out of reach way back then but that conversation festered me for years .
Found ot later it was true , it was him but all went under the radar at that time , tidy guy too .

More name dropping , Terry WIlliams in The Duke pub bottom end of Morriston before a game at The Liberty , got chatting , another tidy chap

I waffled on about Dire Straits and gossip back then , he was more concerned about the Swans and how they were doing .

There’s a Jimi Hendrix music evening on Saturday featuring a great guitarist Denny Illet and backed by a big band at Swansea International Jazz Festival, if you’re into Jimi.
