Comedian Owen Money visits Merthyr Borough Ex-Servicemen’s Club, the place where he first performed in public aged 16. The town has produced many champion boxers through the years and Owen discovers the gym above the club continuing that tradition. Currently, it’s where Welsh Commonwealth Games boxer Lynsey Holdaway trains. As Owen sets about re-staging his first gig at the club with familiar faces in the crowd, there is a shocking turn of events.
Owen Money and Mandy Starr head to the Resolven Miners’ Welfare to find a club plunging into crisis. Outside, the building is in a clear state of disrepair, a far cry from the pride of the valley it once was. But inside, it’s a different story. It’s a club very much alive and full of people young and old who love this place and are determined to keep it going. Owen’s bowled over to discover a secret, vast theatre within the club, hidden away and unseen for almost 20 years. He vows to help those members fighting to save this precious building from closing forever.
