From championing local organisations and community events to giving people across Rhondda Cynon Taf a voice, GTFM continues to demonstrate just how powerful community radio can be.

As a community organisation ourselves, we know how much dedication, passion and hard work goes into making something truly special. We're incredibly grateful for the support GTFM has shown RCT Pride and the wider LGBT+ community. 🏳️‍🌈

🕯️ Aberfan – 60 Years On | Aberfan – 60 Mlynedd Yn Ddiweddarach 🖤

21 October 1966 – 21 October 2026

Today, RCT Pride joins communities across Wales in remembering the 144 lives lost in the Aberfan disaster, including 116 children and 28 adults.

Sixty years ago, a devastating tragedy changed the village of Aberfan forever, leaving a grief that continues to be felt across generations.

We remember the children who never came home, the families whose lives were changed forever, and the extraordinary strength of a community that endured unimaginable loss.

As a community organisation rooted in the South Wales Valleys, we stand in remembrance and solidarity with the people of Aberfan.

Their names, their stories and their memory will never be forgotten. 🕯️

Heddiw, mae RCT Pride yn ymuno â chymunedau ledled Cymru i gofio'r 144 o fywydau a gollwyd yn nhrychineb Aberfan, gan gynnwys 116 o blant a 28 o oedolion.

Chwe deg mlynedd yn ôl, newidiodd trasiedi ddinistriol bentref Aberfan am byth, gan adael galar sy'n dal i gael ei deimlo ar draws y cenedlaethau.

Cofiwn am y plant na ddaethant adref, y teuluoedd y newidiwyd eu bywydau am byth, a chryfder rhyfeddol cymuned a ddioddefodd golled annirnadwy.

Fel mudiad cymunedol sydd â'i wreiddiau yng Nghymoedd De Cymru, safwn mewn coffâd ac undod â phobl Aberfan.

Ni fydd eu henwau, eu straeon na'u hatgofion byth yn cael eu hanghofio. 🕯️

🖤 Cofiwch Aberfan | Remember Aberfan 🖤

The nights grow colder. The shadows grow longer. And something wicked is stirring in Pontypridd...

On Saturday 5th December, Clwb Y Bont opens its doors for The Nightmare Before Christmas—a festive celebration twisted beyond recognition. Forget about a silent night; this is a night of thunderous riffs, crushing breakdowns, and enough energy to wake the dead.
Summoning the soundtrack to your festive nightmares are:

🎄 Strange Size Objects💀 ICantDie🩸 JunkJaw

Whether you've been naughty or nice, all are welcome to lose themselves in a night of metal, alternative music, and organised chaos. Expect heavy sounds, dark vibes, and a room full of people who know there's no better way to celebrate the season than in the pit.
So trade the tinsel for distortion, the sleigh bells for blast beats, and join us for a Christmas party that even Jack Skellington would be proud of.

The Nightmare Before Christmas
📍 Clwb Y Bont, Pontypridd
📅 Saturday 5th December
🎟 Featuring: Strange Size Objects • ICantDie • JunkJaw

This Christmas... don't dream of a white one.
Dream of a heavy one.
