Hello everyone
We had a wonderful jazz club evening in June, and here's news of July - and August - jazz below. Thanks to everyone who writes in with feedback and supportive ideas. There is a great Review on Ian Mann's website - www.thejazzmann.com
Next jazz date (Tues 19 July) sees a special visit we've arranged with the South African (Capetown) pianist, Philip Clouts. Influenced by those rhythms and also by the sounds of jazz, Philip (who now lives in the UK) has performed very widely and recorded many albums, with top names. He met us some time ago and we resolved to form a 'Welsh' lineup for him one day, and here they are! A wonderful mix of established performers such as the fantastic Tamasin Reardon (alto), with impressive younger talents from RWCMD in Cardiff, Linus Fenton and Matt Griffiths, both making a name for themselves on the jazz scene. Philip Clouts himself is a brilliant soloist and composer, who plays very melodic, swinging jazz. We are very excited about this event, and it will get us all in 'concert mood' for Brecon Jazz, with lots more special things to come...
So see you on Tuesday 19 July. Our lovely dining options will be available as usual, and we'll circulate the menu in due course.

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

We had a fantastic teacher in Mr Heddwyn Jones, who now lives in Four Roads. “We were very fortunate to have the same teacher for three years and we were a very happy class. Mr Jones was an inspiring teacher and we all got on every well and we are all still good friends. “Heather Thomas (now Heather Osmond) made it from Surrey, but she was trumped by Gail Morris, who flew in from Ohio in the United States for the reunion. “It was a fantastic evening at the Coasting Pilot with good food, good wine and good company. We even recreated the class

Lauryn Davey is making her mark in athletics - but needs sponsors

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. "She has massive potential to succeed on the international stage and I am sure a little bit of financial help will help to smooth her
