Toucan Club to reopen

The Toucan Club is set to reopen at new premises in Womanby Street, Cardiff, with an opening weekend party on Friday 24 April.

They're taking over the Calcutta Club, which in previous times was known as the Dog and Duck and later CF1.


One of the capital's most eclectic music venues, the Toucan has been in limbo for more than two years since its last premises on Newport Road closed.

Earlier plans to take over the former Glamorgan County Club on Westgate Street were abandoned due to problems obtaining a late licence.

See www.toucancardiff.co.uk for more about the venue.

    The moment I heard about it reopening I was over joyed. Really fantastic news. Thanks for the link to their myspace page, I didn't realise they had one.
