Music in the Pool Garden
Peter Karrie and Elin Wyn Murphy
Friday 6 May ~ gates open at 6.30pm
Tickets: £10 or £8 for Aberglasney Members, with tickets sold at the gate, on the night. Children aged up to 16 are free.


Aberglasney’s ‘Music in the Pool Garden’ events have always been a big hit.
Taking place on the first Friday of each month from May through until August they’re a great opportunity to enjoy the Gardens in the evening whilst listing to a range of live music.
We’re particularly excited to be welcoming West End stars Peter Karrie and Elin Wyn Murphy to our first ’Music in the Pool Garden’ of 2016 on Friday May the 6th.
Peter Karrie’s voice has been showcased in many of the greatest theatrical successes in contemporary musical theatre, the highlight of which must be his highly acclaimed portrayal of The Phantom in Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record breaking musical The Phantom of the Opera. Peter first played The Phantom at Her Majesty’s Theatre, London before going on to play the role in Toronto, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vancouver and the Millennium tour of Great Britain. His performances have been reviewed as “definitive” and have earned him the title of “The World’s Most Popular Phantom” on two separate occasions.
Singing with Peter will be Elin Wyn Murphy (nee Lewis.) Elin trained at the Royal Academy of Music in London and has starred in a number of top West End musicals including Jerry Springer the Opera, Pirates of Penzance and Peter Pan as well as singing backing vocals for Elton John. The busy mother of 4 now runs her own stage school ’Encore’ in Ammanford working with children as young as 4 as well as youngsters up to 18 years of age.
Remember, you can bring your own picnic for these events to enjoy in the Pool Garden, or book a table on the terrace and let Maryellen’s take care of your supper. Two courses is £17.50 per person and includes a welcome drink. Call the Tearooms directly on 01558 668996 to reserve a table.
Tickets prices are as last year – £10.00 for adults, (Aberglasney members £8.00) children (aged up to 16) are FREE. You can buy your tickets at our ticket office on the night. Gates open at 6.30pm.

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. 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.
