Pontypridd, a small town in the valleys of South Wales is set to host one of the biggest alternative events in Wales to the Queen's jubilee this summer.

Cymru Goch, through it's "Twll tin i'r Cwin/Stuff the Monarchy" campaign is organising a three-day "Festival of Resistance" at Clwb y Bont, Pontypridd, to coincide with the Jubilee weekend on the 2nd to the 4th of June.

For the duration of this period, the club will be declared a people's republic with alternative debate, poetry, music and video showings from groups as diverse as Earth First to the SSP during the day, and radical, unsigned bands from all over South Wales playing in the evening. The end of the final day will be set aside to finalise plans on how we're going to oppose the royal visits to Wales on the 11th to the 13th of June.

Cymru Goch is pioneering in Wales a new tradition (actually an old one) of grass-roots, community-based self organisation which isn't dominated by the old London left anymore and progressive-mined people of all persuasions - or just people who want to bunker down for those three desperate days - are all welcome to an event which aims to set the tone for a different kind of politics in Wales.
