On December 28th 2009, fire severely damaged an unoccupied building on Bethesda Street, formerly known as RM’s Rock Club. The two-storey building had been sold earlier in the month to an undisclosed purchaser. The club holds happy memories for music fans throughout the South Wales valleys, and inspired many musicians over the years. In its heyday, RM’s Rock Club – based in the upstairs nightclub – was the place to be for up and coming bands, who came from far and wide to play to the crowds. But the rock club closed at the end of 2005, because of dwindling public support. Over the years the downstairs section has had various uses, including Bethesda Brasserie, a Chinese restaurant, and a Fun Pub. The club itself had run under a number of names including Shooters, Barnies, and NV.
