The man behind the Llandeilo Jazz Festival branding



In less than seven weeks, the Llandeilo Jazz Festival (July 6-8) has grown from an idea into a music festival, with an exciting brand marketing platform.
Part of the success of the marketing has been the new and unique branding created by Nick Pettit, of Nick Pettit Design, based in London.
Nick is the retained designer for the Evan-Evans Brewery and is one of the UK’s top beer-brand designers.
“There is little doubt that Nick’s highly creative design has set the festival on the right road to success,” said Simon Buckley, chief executive of the Evan-Evans Brewery, the festival’s main sponsor and organiser.
“The design branding is eye-catching, it’s colourful and next year we will add to it with Welsh variants. This year, we simply did not have enough time to do everything.”
Nick Pettit said: “I am delighted to have been part of the evolution of this great new event.
“It has been a great opportunity to create something new and exciting and to work with Simon and his team. I am sure that this event will grow into something special and add greatly to the local economy.”

About Nick Pettit -
Educated at Watford Grammar, I made a name for myself as the kid who could hand-stencil band names on the back of leather jackets. Leaving sixth form to do Foundation Art at St Albans, I found a new interest with graphic design, Pop Art and the college pub. Moving to London a year later, I spent the next nine terms at Central Saint Martins, before taking my first job at a 'famous' graphic design agency and discovering I'd made a big mistake. I jumped ship.
Six months later I was given a job by two advertising hotshots, art director Andy Hill (the Um Bongo man) and copywriter Rob Isted, at Toys In The Attic. I loved every minute and it proved the perfect career foundation. Over the next few years I passed through the doors of Rhino, Hill Watson, DJPA, Mainline Partners, Design Alliance, QED, Sheppard Day, Strangebrew and The Workroom before finding myself where I am today, fronting my own little design empire!
I live in London with Avril and our three adorable girls - and a Cockapoo called Dexter. When not on a Mac, I enjoy tennis, sea swimming, hill walking, cooking, real ale, supporting N5's finest, photography, my ever expanding music collection and dreaming about escaping to the Cornish coast.

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Image
Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive.
