The Reytons Behind The Scenes Xmas Advert 2024
Rotherham’s homegrown indie rock band, The Reytons, recently filmed their Xmas advert for 2024 at Secprint’s premises in Parkgate Rotherham. It was a pleasure to host the band and a great honour to have staff members included in the promotional video.
The Reytons
The Reytons, fronted by Jonny Yerrell (who has been a customer of Secprint since 2005) have tasted recent success with a sell-out concert at Clifton Park in Rotherham. This outdoor event is the biggest live music event held in Rotherham to date, and we hope to see them return to home soil for another outdoor gig soon.
The Reytons formed in 2017, with band members Jonnny Yerrell as frontman, Joe O’Brien on lead guitar, Lee Holland on bass, and Jamie Todd on drums are frequent visitors to Secprint in Parkgate, Rotherham. The band has promotional print produced, such as flyers, posters, banners, and boards, as well as having their secure concert tickets, event wristbands, secure lanyard passes and programmes printed too.
Next year is a busy one for The Reytons, with a European tour starting in January and headlining the local Tramlines festival in Sheffield on the 19th of July 2025. Many of the dates are already sold out for February, including, Manchester Aviva Studios, Newcastle O2 City Hall, Birmingham O2 Academy and Dublin Academy.
RGF – Reytons Grassroots Foundation
Being proud of their heritage and supporters of local businesses and the local community in and around Rotherham The Reytons have set up The Reytons Grassroots Foundation. This foundation specialises in creating opportunities across sports, music, art, and the creative sector at a grassroots level. Historically, Rotherham is an area where opportunities to pursue a career in the creative industry would be difficult to achieve without the support given to individuals by this and other local foundations.
The foundation was launched with a ground-breaking initiative providing grassroots football teams across the country with their full kits ahead of the season. More details and how to apply for a kit can be found online here:
Behind The Scenes
The promotional Xmas video filmed on Thursday 28th November in the production room at Secprint in Rotherham, has been released with a special ‘behind the scenes’ edit on 2nd December and features over 26 minutes of footage. The Secprint staff, including Mara the dog, featured in the video and it certainly generated a lot of giggles and fun on the day!
A climax to the video shows a flare being set off and the staff running out of the building to a fire assembly point. The video was filmed on a Thursday, so production was paused but continued after the shoot, so thankfully, the red smoke of the flare did disperse eventually.
