The Kardomah Café, Swansea
The Kardomah Café was a meeting-place for Dylan and his friends in the 1930s. It was one of Dylan’s favourite cafes. He mentioned it in a BBC Broadcast in 1949, saying that it’s a place "where Swansea's rich artists and poverty-stricken business men used to meet, on separate floors, to discuss shares and pictures". The café contributed to the apparition of the name “Kardomah Gang”; the group was formed of talented people, contemporaries of Dylan.
