Megaday Started in 1995 by the people of Caerphilly as a tributeto a close friend and fellow musician Andrew Nichols who lost his battle withcancer. 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 hadplayed at every Megaday with his band PG and the Tips and had also played amajor role in the organisation of every Megaday.
This highly successful festival celebrated its 12th anniversaryin 2006. Megaday constantly attracts huge audiences and has previously wonbacking from the likes of the Manic Street Preachers, the Stereophonics andCatatonia.
THE SPIRIT OF MEGADAYAll of those who have attended Megaday in previous years will knowthat it's about raising as much money as possible for Velindre Hospital whilsthaving a great time doing it. To raise money for Megday you can take partin The Megaday Fun Run, The Megday Five A Side Football Tournament & also TheBattle Of the Bands, in which the winners will get the chance to perform in theMegaday Main Event.
Although Megaday was originally started as a tribute to Mega andPG, it has also become a great opportunity for anyone who has in some way beentouched by cancer to celebrate the lives of family, friends and lovedones.
