City bins left overflowing on the hottest weekend of the year
City bins left overflowing on the hottest weekend of the year The council has said that during major events their crews cannot access cordoned off areas Taffs Mead Embankment on Monday morning (Image: Ruth Mosalski ) Rubbish was left piled up by bins across Cardiff on the hottest weekend of the year, when tens of thousands of gig goers visited the Welsh capital. People reported litter across Queen Street, Taffs Mead Embankment, Victoria Park and Llandaff Fields. Bins were full and rubbish seen piled up on Taffs Mead Embankment in Grangetown, on Saturday, as fans made their way to and from the second night of Stereophonics appearing at the Principality Stadium which is just metres away. By Monday morning, the initial piles of litter had been added to. A post on Facebook on Saturday, July 12, described Queen Street as being "disgusting" with someone saying people had no "clue how to use bins properly" while another person said Victoria Park had rubbish "everywhere". When asked to comment, Cardiff council said that during major events their crews cannot access cordoned off areas, however city parks were not closed to traffic, nor was Taffs Mead Embankment. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here Article continues below A spokesperson for Cardiff council said: "During major events at the Principality Stadium, road closures in Cardiff city centre prevent some of our waste collection vehicles from accessing cordoned off areas. "To manage this a longstanding cleaning schedule is in place. Cleansing teams empty the bins during the concert whilst the crowd are in the stadium. "For health and safety reasons, our cleansing teams must leave before the event ends and large crowds exit the stadium. "The teams then return in the early hours to complete the clean-up. "We continuously review the arrangements for emptying bins during concerts and refine our schedule as required. "Residents are reminded not to leave black bags next to litter bins. "General household waste should be disposed of through the regular collection service. If a bin is full, please take your litter home."

Rag 'n' Bone Man holds his own in an effortless performance that caps off a huge week for music in Cardiff
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info After a weekend of scorching heat in the Welsh capital, things cooled down to create a blissful evening as the sun set on Cardiff Castle for Rag 'n' Bone Man's Sunday evening show. It was the perfect way to round off a big week of music in the city - hot off the heels of Oasis' takeover last weekend, followed by Stevie Wonder and two gigs at the Principality Stadium for Welsh rock legends Stereophonics. Rag 'n' Bone Man's epic voice and golden weather were a perfect combination for another fantastic evening at the stunning venue, where the TK Maxx presents Depot Live summer gigs are well and truly under way. The Brit award-winning artist from Eastbourne – accompanied by a talented band and two backing vocalists – performed a perfect balance of up-tempo tracks and tender ballads. The singer - whose real name is Rory Graham - treated the crowd to songs from throughout his career, including all his biggest hits, as well as a number of unreleased tracks. Lovers In A Past Life was the crowd-pleasing opener to get everybody going swiftly followed by Skin, Grace, Hard Came The Rain and Human also featured, while the beautiful Put A Little Love On Me drew the night to a close before he performed the anthemic Giant. Opening the night was singer-songwriter Jamie Grey followed by Elles Bailey, who put on a bubbly and confident performance in some fabulous cowboy boots. But Rag 'n' Bone Man who quickly made it clear that it was his night. His vocals were effortless from the moment he stepped on stage. Charming and clearly grateful to be in front of a crowd at the beautiful venue, it was clear that everyone was in for a good night. While not a showy performer who dedicates lots of chat between songs, Rag 'n' Bone Man still took the time to interact with the audience when the right moment arose. After the first song, his son Ruben came out to throw a signed plane out into the crowd. He also graciously stopped the show for a couple of minutes after the first few songs for a fan who needed attention from security at the front of the gig, when he sang a short acapella version of You Are My Sunshine. (Image: Ellie Gosley) The first moment for a big singalong came during the second song Skin, and the giant (no pun intended) of a man was smiling and looked genuinely pleased at the thousands of people belting out the lyrics. At one point, the singer said: "It blows my mind that I get to do this to so many people" - which it seemed like was clearly true. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here There was also the occasional groove, which the self-deprecating singer apologised for: "Sorry about my terrible dancing. I'm a dad and I've got about two dance moves." It seemed more effortlessly cool rather than dad-dancing from where I was stood. For me, the highlight of the night was All You Ever Wanted, when you could hear a pin drop as Rag 'n' Bone Man's epic but tender vocals rang out, echoing off the historic castle walls. There was also a huge cheer, encouraged by the man himself, for backing singer Desri, who sang Pink!'s portion of the song beautifully. As the night drew to a close, he returned clapping and bowing down to the crowd as he emerged for the encore, joking: "We have to do that obligatory thing where we pretend we're not coming back. I know we're coming back, you know we're coming back but we have to do it. It's the rules." Rag 'n' Bone Man then performed Put A Little Hurt On Me in another emotional moment of the night, with him dedicating the song to a young boy called Ethan, who he met through Children in Need, who was in the audience. The Cardiff audience quickly sprang into action to show their support by chanting his name. The night finished with a bouncing rendition of Giant, which it was clear everyone had been waiting for with the whole crowd dancing and jumping on their feet. The night finished with Rag 'n' Bone Man thanking the crowd before adding: "I knew you wouldn't let me down." His show wasn't showy, but it sure wasn't boring either. Colossal vocals achieved with ease, a great band, simple yet striking lighting and a genuine, humble man who seems truly happy and grateful to be there made for a great night all-in-all.
