WHAT IS MEGADAY?

Megaday is an extremely enjoyable annual live music event which helps to raise needed funds for the Velindre Hospital cancer appeal & is held at Caerphilly Rugby Club, Virginia Park, Caerphilly. (map)

Megaday Started in 1995 by the people of Caerphilly as a tribute to a close friend and fellow musician Andrew Nichols who lost his battle with cancer. Andrew Nichols was known to his friends as Mega (thus the name Megaday).

In August 2001 we also lost Paul Grahame (PG) to cancer. Paul had played at every Megaday with his band PG and the Tips and had also played a major role in the organisation of every Megaday.



   

This highly successful festival celebrated its 13th anniversary in 2007. Megaday constantly attracts huge audiences and has previously won backing from the likes of the Manic Street Preachers, the Stereophonics and Catatonia.

THE SPIRIT OF MEGADAY

All of those who have attended Megaday in previous years will know that it's about raising as much money as possible for Velindre Hospital whilst having a great time doing it. To raise money for Megday you can take part in The Megaday Fun Run, The Megday Five A Side Football Tournament & also The Battle Of the Bands, in which the winners will get the chance to perform in the Megaday Main Event.

Although Megaday was originally started as a tribute to Mega and PG, it has also become a great opportunity for anyone who has in some way been touched by cancer to celebrate the lives of family, friends and loved ones.



     
VELINDRE HOSPITAL

All profits made from Megaday go to Velindre Hospital Wales where Andrew and Paul were treated. Every single penny raised goes goes towards cancer care and research. Over the past eleven years Megaday has raised over £107,000 for Velindre Hospital, an achievement all who are involved with Megaday are very proud of. This mySpace is designed to inform, celebrate and promote all aspects of this wonderful event so please enjoy it!

Megaday DVD
The Megaday DVD is now available for only £5.
Use this form to order one.


BATTLE OF THE BANDS IS DEAD! LONG LIVE A 2 DAY MEGADAY!

Just under three weeks to go and only a handful of public sale tickets are still available for the Wales versus Scotland RBS Six Nations international at the Millennium Stadium after a huge demand from fans.

Less than 1,000 tickets are still for sale as the big game on February 9th is now just 23 days away.

Demand has surged after the announcement of new Head Coach Warren Gatland's first squad which features Ryan Jones as skipper and the return to international rugby of Martyn Williams.

Tickets are available online via www.ticketmaster.co.uk or by calling the Millennium Stadium ticket hotline on 08705 582 582. Personal callers can visit Ticketline at 47 Westgate Street, Cardiff.

Wales 20 - 32 Australia
Well at least it wasn't as bad as England's defeat and there are quite a few positives we can take out of the game. The team could do with a morale boost now so if you haven't already downloaded the song -what are you waiting for?!!

South Wales Punk Legends Doc Savage are heading up a SIX BAND extraviganza at Toms Bar, Treforest this coming weekend!

Starting at 6pm on Sat 8th September, Black Anenome & One Room Down will play downstairs for free, as a warm up to the main bands playing upstairs - Stupid Brick, The Nukes(ex-Headshot'76), Post 84, and then Doc Savage headlining.

It'll be £5 to get in upstairs, but at less than a pound per band for a six band cavalcade, we think you'll agree, this is great value, as well as supporting local music in a great venue!
