Problem is Aber that most have never been to a football game but have Sky+ good thing though only white shirts you see in the Rhondda are for Spurs.
Used to practically live in the Rhondda when I was playing the clubs Aber, and made many lifelong friends - they were hardmen (and women but fair and, to be honest, many of them were the salt of the earth. If you were crap they would let you know in no uncertain terms, but if they enjoyed you there were no better audiences to play to. Really enjoyed my time playing there (and still do from time to time) but know plenty of muso's who have plenty of scary and, to be honest, pretty funny tales to tell about playing the Rhondda pubs and clubs. If am being honest I enjoyed playing the rougher clubs more because they were true barometers of how good you were - yep, had a few really hairy moments, but then they provide the best stories when you're pissed or stoned!
cartoon your not wrong there tough old place 2 work is the rhondda dude......but like you say if they liked you the world is your oyster for the night......i bet you had a few oysters in your hands behind the clubs cartoon like many know some of the valley women aint shy. stories for life with the people of the rhondda butty,max boyce made a living out of em ps out of interest what do u do cartoon?
Rhondda pubs & clubs shutting at an alarming rate, cheap bear from the supermarkets & the smoke ban not helping.
Aber - have had a very chequered and colourful past! At the minute I am a university lecturer, teaching business, marketing and self promotion to students studying creative disciplines (Illustration, Graphics, Music Technology and Digital Media in all its incarnations - whatever the f**k that is!). And yes - don't get me started on valley women - wonderful creatures, every 'mad as a box of frogs' one of 'em! I am also a professional musician, songwriter, illustrator, concert promoter (general creative smart arse!). Have run many small businesses with varying degrees of success - many wonderful highs and depressing lows there! Have had songs published to several major labels and still do the music thing, again with varying degrees of success! Got the lecturing gig, basically, because am a bit of a chancer that knows how to get things off the ground. Have had some half decent successes - but also some spectacular failures - wouldn't change a thing though, all go's to make me the mad t**t that some say I am! How about you mate - what's your story?
I lived in the Rhondda for 6 months. Never had to much of an issue, met some great people along the way. The women though, mad as ****.
Well well well bonny ive just had this pic sent to me from a fellow student who is also living down the Mumble........... It seems we were in the Pilot and as far as i can see there is no "For Sale" sign just a notice in the window saying the pub is being run by a caretaker couple .....................may i suggest you instead of making up storys about your so called home town you actually get out and sample the beer . JH once again the facts make the jaxs look pricks . PS ,pic taken 08/08/12 ............;O)
Look at the date on the pics fool ..........................and apparently the weather was nice down there this afters so says mate .................. Pilot still open for buzz until sold to new owners .....;O)
Wasn't just you bony. If everyone leaves out the personal gypsy **** I won't need to. Grow up. You can't be left alone for 5 mins, my 3 yo is better behaved. Now, get on the naughty step.
