Get ready for an ‘End of the Pier’ show with a difference!


It promises to be an ‘End of the Pier’ show with a difference.
Four popular South Wales entertainers are getting together for ‘A Night of Music and Laughter’ for a landmark occasion at Mumbles Pier in Swansea.
It will be the final night of live entertainment at Mumbles Pier before the revamp of the attraction is completed.
Phil Evans, Laura Jayne, Dean Jones and Ignacio Lopez all enjoyed a very successful recent tour with top Welsh independent recording artist Paul Child.
“We had a wonderful time on tour with Paul Child and there’s been a lot of popular demand to get us to perform at a local venue in Swansea,” said Evans.
“This will be variety and comedy at its best. It’s an unique occasion. It’s the end of one era for the pier and the start of another.”
A Night of Music and Laughter is being staged at Mumbles Pier on Friday, June 21, 7.30pm.


Phil Evans is sometimes known as the 'Hugmeister of Wales' and the man who has put the 'Cwtsh' back into comedy.
He is a favourite warm-up comedian for TV shows on BBC, S4C and ITV. He recently appeared on Sky TV’s The Welsh Show. He regularly performs overseas and recent trips have taken him to the USA, Canada and Norway. He is soon to visit the Middle East.
Squeeze him for information on his favourite topic – the Welsh cwtsh (hug) – and he will explain why a cwtsh should always be spelt as ‘cwtsh’ and not ‘cwtch’.
Cheeky, but never crude or offensive, Evans produces a very Welsh brand of humour.


Ignacio Lopez is billed as 'Half Spanish, Half Welsh, All Funny.'
The 25-year-old lives in Swansea. Lopez was chosen from thousands of comedians to appear on ITV's ‘Show me the Funny’, hosted by Jason Manford.
He said: “Although I didn't do too well in the competition it’s really made me appreciate how much better comedy can be ‘live’. I wasn't my best on the TV show but part of that was how it was edited. The attraction of being a comedian is that you are the only person responsible for what you say on stage. You write and perform your own material and it’s up to you to deliver the goods.”


Laura Jayne is an up-and-coming country recording artist and is Swansea’s answer to Leanne Rimes!
Her first year as a professional singer has been a huge success, touring nationally with Paul Child and releasing a fantastic debut album entitled “Songbook”.
Having already appeared on TV programmes such as The Welsh Show and Sky’s Country Channel Music Express, Laura has an exciting future ahead and has already been approached by writers to record original material.

Dean Jones has a charismatic, high-energy approach to performing.
He is often mistaken for a young Tom Jones! His tribute will leave you thoroughly entertained!

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

Image
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. Ammanford businessman and well-known comic entertainer Phil Evans has launched a campaign to get cash backers for Lauryn's athletics career. "Everyone in the area is hugely proud of her achievements in athletics to date," said Phil. "But we also want to see her go on and do bigger and better things. "Together with some friends, I am helping find ways of generating much-needed sponsorship cash for Lauryn.
