Pretty sure the Stereophonics and Elton John have both played at the CCS.

And who can forget AA's book launch at Ninian? That was a splendid day.

Did you get a signed copy?
Might be worth a few bob in a few years time :hehe:

The Harlem Globetrotters played at Ninian Park in the late 60s.
Cardiff Rugby (union) played matches at both NP and CCS.

I played in that for Cardiff and District League against a Cardiff City team that included a young Toshack. I think we lost 4-2 but gave them a game.

Oh! to be young again!

Think Toshack played in the first tournament which I believe they won, but it was hard for them all of the way.

Played at the CCS I mean. They sent their apologies ahead of the book launch.

I'm guessing that there will have been a few weddings in the function rooms there. Maybe a few divorces as well !!

Off topic a bit, but I first heard of Elvis’s death at NP. My old man used to sell some sort of tote tickets for the club, and I was sat in his car by the side of the Bob bank while he was in the ticket office, and it came on the radio.

Re: Following on from Bob's post ..

I think it was Bon Jovi who played at the CCS, my daughter was there with friends.
After a couple of songs, he went off stage, reappeared a few minutes later wearing a puffer jacket.
The crowd chanted "Welcome to Wales".

It's football, but I remember going to a South Wales XI versus Man United in 1976 in aid of Newport County. S. Wales won 1-0. Alex Stepney commented on a shot he stopped from John Buchannon saying it was one of the hardest he's felt. Article here.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cyejly8pe2xo

Re: Following on from Bob's post ..

I’m sure there was boxing at Ninian Park back in the day wasn’t there?

Darts coming up at the CCS.

Fairly sure I saw a few darts thrown at my first SWD in 1999 too, I was a kid though so was absolutely off my tits on a mixture of fear and adrenaline so may not have actually seen that.
