Tucked away on Barack Lane, one of Cardiff\u2019s quirkiest venues is bottled up in The Gravity Station. The cosy bottle shop is seeing success in opening its doors for up and coming musicians to perform in its Gravity Sessions.<\/p>\n

Manager Jim Swidenbank says \u201cThey\u2019ve been quite successful and building, I think, as well.\u201d He adds, \u201cIt\u2019s just providing another platform, so more people can get out there and do stuff in a different type of venue.\u201d<\/p>\n
