Concert venues include The White Horse, The Angel, The Cawdor – with a special jazz picnic around the Penlan Park bandstand on Sunday afternoon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Llandeilo Jazz - message from Evan-Evans chief executive Simon Buckley:
This is the first of what I hope will become an annual jazz festival in Llandeilo.
We have tried to put together a line-up that suits all tastes, from ‘Trad Jazz’ to Gypsy and Blues.
Each venue has a different line-up and music throughout the day.
This is a pub-based festival, with street music and a Sunday picnic planned for Penlan Park, and bandstand.
Entry to the Festival is free, but you must have a ticket.
You will not be able to get into the venues without a ticket.
For those that do not have access to a computer, you can get tickets from the ‘Jazz Shop’ in the former Dylan's Wine Shop (99 Rhosmaen Street) and other shops in Llandeilo, details will be on the website - http://www.jazzatllandeilo.co.uk/
The Festival is unashamedly about showing off our great market town of Llandeilo and providing a jazz festival that will be fun.
People will be able to enjoy the very best music, local food, and some exciting new beers from our brewery.
This is going to be a great weekend, make sure you do not miss it!
