On 25 November Make Noise Wales has its sights set on Pontypridd for the last of its free \u2013 yes free – gigs in South Wales. \u00a0The gig is completely free to any audience member who wishes to donate a broken electrical item upon entry.<\/p>\n

Club Y Bont are the proud hosts of this final freebie event which is in its sixth consecutive year. Starting in 2010 with a one off event called \u201cthe visible play,\u201d Carl Goslin, 36, from Heavenly Recordings took the initiative to keep Make Noise alive.<\/p>\n

Thus, Make Noise was in full swing. Funded by the European Recycling Platform (ERP) and organised in conjunction with Heavenly Recordings the Make Noise manifesto is quite simple: to programme \u201ccutting edge electronic music events and making entry 100% free in exchange for a piece of broken recycling, for example, a broken mobile phone, a hairdryer, a laptop or anything with a battery.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2015, UK citizens spent \u00a32.1 billion on concert tickets so the free factor adds to Make Noise\u2019s unique charm.<\/p>\n

However, it is more than just a free concert, Carl says \u201cThere is no hidden agenda behind Make Noise. Its initiative is to just raise awareness to young people that electrical items can actually be recycled.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a Wastesavers representative, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is only a small percentage of the waste that ends up in landfill, but never the less is symbolic of a throw away society.<\/p>\n

Cardiff is also playing its part to combat unnecessary waste on landfill sites. Currently 54% of Cardiff\u2019s waste avoids landfill, but plans are underfoot to increase this figure to 70% by 2025. So, if you\u2019re one of Cardiff\u2019s residents who regularly recycles then why not go to a free gig too?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
