Ystrad Rfc Events

This page is to inform the people of the Rhondda and beyond about the events that this venue is going to promote. Please read more about conditions below.

The branding will belong to Ystrad Rhondda Rugby Club. All people are welcome at our venue, there is no exlusiveness as we try to set ourselves apart from the rest.

Bands that wish to play this venue, please bear in mind that under our licence there is a STRICT restriction on the use of external PA systems used by bands because of non controllable dB levels by the manager /licencee. This will be reviewed by RCT in future providing we have no complaints about noise pollution. This was strictly enforced by the HSO at RCT, a copy of which can be seen on request, this was due to complaints from some neighbours in the past.

However, you will be pleased to know that we have an in-house dedicated band PA system with a very experienced sound man who will mic up vocals, drums, back-line amps, line out for keyboards, click and backing tracks, any other instrument is catered for. We have 15" Mackie active FOH speakers, up to seven stage monitors if needed plus the use of Sennheiser top of the range in-ear monitors, 12 ceiling speakers around the venue plugged into desk, a digital mixing desk with 18 channels, with gates. compressors, effects etc. lots of XLR cables, Shure mics, AKG clip on mics, overhead mics, DI boxes, Lights, lasers and haze machine. This service is NOT optional but compulsory as we wish to keep our licence, so if we book you or you request to book a gig, bear this in mind. If you read all the reviews from bands you will see that we have a great sound and set up.

We have a discretionary budget of £250 for cover bands as anything over this has to go through the committee. Tribute bands we will have now and again and because of their hierarchy of fees in the food chain, they will have to be approved and ticket only if approved. Bands always get a very good welcome from the promoter and club. These are the terms and can be updated once certain restrictions are removed, so please don't insist on bringing your own as you wouldn't if asked to play the Motorpoint Arena would you?

Please enjoy the venue and respect us and our neighbours as we aim to make your experience a good one. Feedback is always welcome.
