The face of Swindon is changing rapidly, the best thing about this town is its ability to re-invent itself so quickly, where most towns stay the same for long periods, this town has changed dramatically over the last 5-10 years. It carries a bad reputation, but if you live, and work in swindon most people will agree we are making a huge effort to change it. The culture in Swindon is exploding, with new ventures happening all over the town, even in the recession. There are so many great bands coming through, and many live gigs going on all over the town. There are local festivals every year, Invicible, Sugarhill, and the shuffle, and the mela. There are people who are working really hard to expand this, with better places to rehearse, play and more diversity. Not everyone in Swindon works for honda/in an office, and there is much more than just concrete, dont judge us by "appearances". We are a really friendly town!
