Acoustic music is proving to be very popular in Pembrokeshire, and the Pennar Community Hall is at the forefront of bringing quality acoustic performers to the county. Hank Wangford, Reg Meuros, John Tams, Pete Morton and others have graced the stage. These guys are among the heavyweights of British acoustic and contemporary music.

Saturday last saw the appearance of Roger Wilson, whose pedigree stretches from busking on the streets of Wolverhampton to the West End stage. He was until recently acting and collaborating with the musical score of the successful and very moving play 'The War Horse' at the New London Theatre. So, armed with his Fylde guitar and Phil Walters violin and through a very modest but ample PA system, we were entertained by a master craftsman, doing two 45-minute spots.

The influence of Bert Jansch and John Renbourn was evident. Rogers's playing and repertoire was also coloured by the influence of the many musical projects he has been involved in, but his individuality shone through with two songs in particular, 'Setting the woods on fire' by Hank Williams and the Hendrix song 'Hey Joe' played with just violin and voice. He was so impressed with the reaction and warmth of the audience, he would like to return to do another concert. Thank you Roger.

Mike and Liz Cook are responsible for booking the artists for the hall and not only do they find class acts, they have the knack of finding and showcasing very good support acts.

We had Simon Pettit, who forsook his electric roots to deliver a blistering set of self-penned songs to the sound of his Gibson Jumbo guitar.

Soundwise a very experienced guitarist and songwriter Colin Gregory took the control and ensured we heard voices and instruments at a comfortable level.

So why not treat yourselves to a night out at the next acoustic night. Prices are reasonable, bring a four pack and a bottle of Chablis and some nibbles. You will be made welcome and you will be supporting the hard working committee to provide a wonderful community facility.
