IN response to your article about the Mechanics' Institute I would like to put forward a suggestion:
As a musician with a local band and knowing many of the local artists what we need in this town is a good size local music venue. Somewhere for not just local artists but also more nationally known artists.
Because of the size of the venue you could also incorporate recording studios, rehearsal rooms and workshops for the towns young musicians.
It could also be an outlet for the towns young artists to display their work. It's about time the people of Swindon can see talented groups of all styles in their home town rather going to London or Bristol.
Make us proud of Swindon not resentful. Put this town on the map.
