IT remains one of Wales' most famous music venues - the legendary TJs in Newport's Clarence Place. The likes of Stone Roses, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Manic Street Preachers, Feeder, Catatonia and numerous giants of the music world crossed those green and red doors, thanks to the passion of its owner John Sicolo. Here's a fond look back at a club that captured an era in the city.
