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

I know the article is about jazz but it can equally apply to any type of music below the super stars or bands. I really feel for musicians unable to perform and earn as this is usually their sole income. Touring numerous clubs all over the country just stopped completely. Therefore, no income. Artists were usually booked up to a year ahead, accommodation booked, well in advance to get cheaper deals, and often deposits lost. The artists, the clubs, the knock on effect down the supply chain are all directly hit. Many young, up and coming musicians won’t have a chance in the future because of Covid. Imagine doing a three or four year course in university and finishing to a fifteen month lockdown(so far).
Venues will only be able to afford to book bands when they are able to take enough to cover costs of running the club and paying the band, which normally means that you need to have a large crowd. This could be a while away yet.
Another thing about the article, I’ve not been to many jazz gigs where there has been dancing.
