Published

on

Party organisers have let it slip that there will be another huge dance event coming this October at the Park House Centre, in Withybush, Haverfordwest.

Although organisers are keeping tight lipped about their massive line up but they have told us to tell you party people to keep their eyes peeled on social media! IN BOUND SOON!

—————————————————————–

Check out our review form their last event:

Pembrokeshire nigthlife really hasn’t recovered from COVID-19. 

It almost seems as though the younger generation just hasn’t bothered getting out of bed and going to the clubs.

But things are changing, large scale, big room events are back, the likes that havent been seen in 20 years since the legendary Evolution Experience nights.

The good news is that this isn’t another “Drum n’ Bass” night.

‘2 to the 90’s’ has broken the mold of other promoters and gone big, they must have the motto ‘Go Big or go home’.

A unique 90s rave up drew ONE THOUSAND partygoers to the Park House Centre on July 23.

Chart toppers such as Ultrabeat, N-trance, Kelly Llorrenna all took to the stage which was hosted by Ben from another chart topper, Phats and Small.

The group responsible for the fantastic Flamingo Bingo is also the driving factor behind this spectacular event. The 90s night was no exception to Flamingo Bingo’s high calibre production qualities, which include the best sound systems, sophisticated lighting, smoke blowers, and other technological marvels from Sound Hire Wales.

The transformation of a hanger into a massive celebration comparable to stadiums and concerts astounded partygoers One party goer said: “Its brilliant! It’s like being at the Motorpoint arena except its in Haverfordwest!”

We spoke to the team behind the event who said “This event was magical, people haven’t stopped talking about it, we are definately going to be doing another one or two this year, watch this space!”

Our reporter at the Pembrokeshire Herald said “It’s really good to see events like these back in Pembrokeshire, we certainly cannot wait to go to the next one!”

Colourful parade, towering creations and Victorian flair bring town centre to life

TENBY was transformed into a vibrant Victorian fantasy on Saturday (Mar 21) as hundreds of visitors descended on the town for the annual Steampunk Festival.

The highlight of the day came with the much-anticipated Peacock Parade, which saw elaborately dressed participants wind their way through Tenby’s narrow streets, drawing large crowds of spectators.

Residents and visitors lined the route, many stopping to take photos as performers in eye-catching costumes passed by. From brass goggles and top hats to military-inspired uniforms and elegant gowns, the outfits on display reflected the creativity and theatrical spirit of the steampunk scene.

Among the most striking sights were the towering pink flamingo creations, which rose high above the crowds and became an instant talking point. Musicians in period costume added to the atmosphere, playing lively tunes as they marched through the town.

Families were out in force, with children and adults alike enjoying the spectacle. Many visitors had travelled from across Wales and beyond to attend the event, which has grown in popularity in recent years and is now firmly established as a key date in Tenby’s events calendar.

The Herald understands that local businesses also benefited from the influx of visitors, with cafés, pubs and shops seeing a steady flow of customers throughout the day.

In addition to the parade, a range of activities were taking place across the town, including markets, performances and themed entertainment centred around the De Valence Pavilion.

Organisers have worked to create an inclusive and welcoming event, with many people choosing to dress up while others simply come along to enjoy the unique atmosphere.

The festival continues on Sunday, with further events planned as Tenby remains firmly in the grip of steampunk fever for the weekend.

Met Opera’s Tristan und Isolde comes to the Torch Theatre

Published

Lise Davidsen leads star cast in Wagner’s epic tale of love and death in special cinema broadcast on Sunday (Mar 22)

AFTER years of anticipation, a truly unmissable event arrives in cinemas worldwide as the electrifying Lise Davidsen takes on one of the ultimate roles for dramatic soprano – the Irish princess Isolde – in Wagner’s transcendent meditation on love and death, Tristan und Isolde.

Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-struck Tristan in what promises to be a powerful and emotionally charged performance.

The production also marks the arrival of a new staging at the Metropolitan Opera by Yuval Sharon, making his Met debut. Sharon has been hailed by The New York Times as “the most visionary opera director of his generation” and was the first American to direct an opera at the famous Wagner festival in Bayreuth.

Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin also leads Tristan und Isolde at the Met for the first time in this landmark production.

The cast includes mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova reprising her acclaimed portrayal of Brangäne, alongside bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny as Kurwenal following his celebrated Met appearances in Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländerand the Ring cycle. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green makes an important role debut as King Marke.

Reviewing the production for The Observer, Fiona Maddocks described it as a “glorious production” and “well worth catching”, adding: “This was one of those rare and blissful nights when dropped jaws silenced noisy opinion in the queue for coats afterwards.”

The recorded broadcast of Tristan und Isolde will be screened at the Torch Theatre on Sunday (Mar 22) at 4:00pm.
