Live Music is Back in Town!!
With the easing of the Covid 19 Welsh Government restrictions live music is back in Llanelli. For those of you that thought the scene was dead, you were wrong. Local music is back and its stoking up its fires and coming for you.
Wednesday nights,’ the oldest Open Mic night in town, is back, at The Kilkenny Cat. Be sure to get down there for your fix of live music.
As if that’s not enough, on Saturday 7th August the ‘Cat’ held a tribute night to Soul, Motown and Reggae with a live set from local talent Leroy Badboy Brown.
