Aimee Taylor - Vocalist - Showreel

Another Saturday, another solo artist. Aimee was fab last night, she enjoyed our famous hospitality and we enjoyed her. Another busy day yesterday because of the Lions game and another big shout-out to the bar staff who did a sterling job yet again under pressure. Hopefully, in 2 weeks' time, we can return to some sort of normality. Thank you again to all our regulars and patrons for a wonderful night.

Chucked Together - Mini Showreel A hot and sticky night at Ystrad Rhondda RFC for Lee & Andy, 2/5ths of Chaser band. Their first live gig in 15 months and they and we enjoyed it.

This Saturday, we have doubled up to a duo. Chucked Together are a fabulous duo and play all the classics our patrons like. If you remember, they kicked off the flood appeal last March. 👍🏉

[07/03/21]   Unfortunately our artist tonight has had to cancel. Having spoken to the committee, we have decided to let this week ride as opposed to booking a replacement, partly because of the rugby and some game that England are involved in, as they've kept that quiet. So we will have music on in the background and usual great atmosphere. 👍

Soul Gold - Jeff Grainger - Mini Showreel

A short video of Jeff Grainger, Soul Gold last night. I know I keep saying it, but the bar staff was on point again last night, thank you girls!! Thank you again to Mike and Gummy for overseeing the day in a professional manner. And to you our patrons, who have now figured out table dancing. See you next week for another great night.

Soul Gold - Jeff Grainger - Mini Showreel Some of the songs that Jeff performed over 2 sets on 26th June 2021 at Ystrad Rhondda RFC. Enjoy

Not the result we hoped for but nonetheless a fab day and night 👍🥂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[06/23/21]   August Bank Holiday Sunday at 4pm. Do we have a band for the first time in 17 months at that date or artist? More importantly will you come?

The Big Guy - Marc Edwards at Ystrad Rhondda RFC (Showreel)

What another fab night at the club last night. The Big Guy always delivers! His first indoor gig since March 2020. Thank you Marc and thank you, all the patrons who attended last night, we love you all. See you next Sat for Soul Gold. Click on the link below and please subscribe to the Youtube channel for future vids.🤟

The Big Guy - Marc Edwards at Ystrad Rhondda RFC (Showreel) This was Marc's first indoor gig since March 2020 and there was no other place he wanted to perform on his first night back but Ystrad Rhondda Rugby Club. He...

No more analogue snake. Still waiting to use, if you know, you know.

[06/14/21]   We are open for the Wales game and Ascot races on Wednesday 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤞

Katie Mittel - Showreel

Last night, a short video showreel of Katie Mittell. The page has nearly 2,000 followers but the Youtube page has 3 subscribers, come on people, please subscribe!

[06/13/21]   What a fab night last night, Katie Mittel was wowing our patrons with humour and songs, she was amazing, the bar staff were under pressure all night with table service but delivered as usual, thanks girls!! 💖And Gummy kept a tight ship again. I think we may have to buy fluorescent wands for the tables so you can wave when you want a drink. I for one, totally understand the urge to dance and its tragic to see believe me, but it is what it is currently. It was nice to get back on an old school analogue desk and stand on top of the stairs where I belong, but for one night only. Good to see Scott Dickenson too. It was also nice to walk home in my sliders on a lovely night for a change. Back next Sat with the amazing 'Big Guy' 👍

Sara Ashley Davies Showreel

It's been a long time since any sort of music has been played here. Sara was the first artist to play, also after a long layoff. It has also been a long time since I have done a showreel. Bands and artists you are bloody spoilt! Headphones on, change settings to HD.

[06/05/21]   We would like to wish all the licenced premises in the village - Ystrad Sports & Social Club, Scoobys and The Greenfield, all the success over the coming months🤟. It's been a hard slog over the past year, so lets keep the village alive!

Club 5 year anniversary weekend!
I packed this away last year. Well, its a start, all ready for the summer of solos minus the PA which will be out of storage ready for the Autumn. So solo artists bring your own gear with lots of the usual mega echo/reverb button. 😁

[05/28/21]   With yesterday's announcement about live music, bands, artists and ourselves are quite excited. The build up and explosion of relief is like someone coming out of celibate abstinence after seeing some muso pages over the past 24 hours. But wait, lets hope its not premature so and so, because risk assessments need to be carried out by RCT before granting permission. So if you are a tiny pub where artists play under the dart board or by the pool table next door to the toilet in the corner, then this may be more difficult. However, having said all that, we may get further guidance today. Once the green light is given, then I for one can't wait as I have added so much stuff to our set up, I cant wait to get on it.🥂👍

[05/26/21]   NOTICE: The club tote draw will be back up and running next Wednesday. Tickets on sale now through the usual channels including club.🤞

[05/23/21]   Last night went smoothly, so thank you for your cooperation, we understand that people want to have a good time after being locked up for 6 months and they certainly did whilst maintaining relatively good humour under the rules. We were paid a visit from the authorities last night and were given a green light for the measures we have in place. We just had a minor recommendation for background music being too low 😁
Thanks to all the bar staff who worked tirelessly all day and night taking orders and serving tables of people. Big shout out to Gummy and Monkey for running a tight ship with some humour, but firm in handling lapses in the rules. We want to stay open so well done all and a fab night was had by everyone.
🥂👍🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[05/14/21]   Following today's announcement, we will be back open this Wednesday Evening from 7pm. We will then be open Fri, Sat & Sun as before from 12pm. Then 2pm thereafter.You will be pleased to know that there will not be a booking system in place as we would prefer to manage the foot-fall ourselves with door staff.

Table service from our lovely staff will continue and so will the wearing of masks until you are seated, but put on again if using the toilet or going outside. Smoking is in the beer garden only and not the front door area. We will continue to take cash and contactless payments as before. All this is has been from government guidance apart from the no booking which was our decision. We have heard that authorities will be randomly checking venues.

Once we are at capacity, it will be people out, people in like before, we feel that this is the only fair way to operate until an update on regulations again. ONLY ON SATURDAYS and UNTIL 6PM, it will be members-only, a membership card will be checked by door staff against our records. Again we feel this is only fair for members but ONLY until 6pm, after that, it is regulated by door staff to ensure we don't exceed capacity.

We will have background music on but no live music, but we are sure you would just like to get out and socialise again. We want everyone to have fun and enjoy themselves, however, drunk, disorderly and anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated as we don't wish to spoil the enjoyment and atmosphere within the club.

Finally, it will be fab to see you all again, it has been a long time, hopefully, the unlocking will continue and we can start to play rugby again soon. 👍🤟🏉

Adults

Good evening all. We are pleased to announce that we can now offer supporters of Ystrad Rhondda Rugby Club, sports apparel with Ystrad Rhondda branding via Macron Store.

Going forward we will be kitting out from Mini up to seniors with the same kits, branding and colours. This is in line with our vision of professionalism and recognising our club as one of the most successful rugby clubs in the Rhondda both on and off the field over the past 4 years. If you wish to order any apparel or even have a browse, please click on the link below.

Adults

[05/11/21]   We will await news from Drakeford on Friday about rules etc before giving you a definitive answer about weekend opening logistics. We dont wish to return to booking tables and are more in favour of once capacity reached then reserve the right to stop people coming in or otherwise it will be chaos. Will update you Friday.

Not too long into the future, we will be back and can't wait!

[04/25/21]   NOTICE: The club will reopen on Wednesday 19th May, we still await further guidance on certain logistics and rules but will let you know in good time. There will be no live music yet but will have background music on. 👍😁

This would be fab to get the youngsters back out in the open air and be part of one of the most successful clubs in the Rhondda at present. Chris Hanly and Jack Dunning will do a superb job coaching tomorrow's talent.

Training returns this Sunday 28th March for our under 13s. Training starts at 10:30am on Gelligalad park. We can't wait to get started. New players are welcome to become part of this successful team.

Happy Mothers day to all our M**s.

A massive well done and thank you to all those who donated and did a walk today for Adam Harcombe, truly inspirational.
