Venues are few and 'far between, the money less attractive, and the area Itself tends to be looked on as something of a backwater. It might seem difficult for any band to reach the heights under these conditions, but the success of groups like Man Just proves that with enough determination and talent, anything's possible. At present a number of good bands are doing the circuits In South Wales and the West country, and one of the newest Is four-man group, Fragile. Formed only a few months, the band have already caught up a large z following In their own locality and frequently play as far away as Pembroke and Cornwall.
