After a recent fire at the venue, our colleagues on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ South West Wales site have been digging through the history of Aberafan's Afan Lido venue, from its rain-sodden opening by the Queen in 1965 to the recent conflagration.

Its importance as a music venue is not to be under-estimated with a list of artists having appeared there including Motorhead, Pink Floyd, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Spencer Davies, Coldplay, Catatonia, UB40, Manic Street Preachers, The Jam, Super Furry Animals, and McFly.
