Eddie Martin to headline Evan-Evans Llandeilo Jazz Festival



A top-class line-up of musicians has been secured for the first Evan-Evans Llandeilo Jazz Festival, over the weekend July 6-8.
The festival, which is a free ticket event, will be based at the town’s pubs and will feature a line-up that will appeal to all jazz tastes from Trad to Blues and Gypsy jazz.
Festival organiser Simon Buckley said: “The festival is now getting into full swing.
“The bands are booked and we believe that we have a great line-up for the festival visitors.
“The headline act at The White Horse on the Saturday night will be Eddie Martin’s Blues Band.”
Mr Buckley, Chief Executive of the Evan-Evans Brewery, added: “The tickets will be free and all people have to do is go on line and register and then download the tickets.
“We will have a jazz festival office open 10 days before the festival starts for those that do not have a computer or access to the internet. So everyone will be able to get tickets.
“There will be plenty of accommodation and campsites for those that want to stay over, with a special Morning café Jazz at Breakfast!
“On the Sunday we hope that people will come and picnic in Penlan Park and listen to local jazz bands from the Tywi Valley.
“This is going to be a wonderful weekend of music and fun and we want people to come to Llandeilo and have a great time.
“Festival visitors will have the opportunity to taste the very best of Tywi Valley food and there will be a wonderful new beer for the festival.
“The Llandeilo Jazz Festival is set to become an annual event and we at Evan-Evans Brewery are proud to be a part of this annual event.”
