Description:
Gig-goers at Saundersfoot harbour enjoyed a ‘performance...and cocktails’ to bring in the May Bank Holiday, and ‘just looking’ at the crowd that enjoyed this flagship event for the seaside village - tribute band The Phonics (backed by Dean Jones as Tom Jones) certainly delivered the tunes!<br/>Running through a Stereophonics best of setlist (who had a hit themselves with a track called Bank Holiday Monday) - The Phonics and Tom certainly got the harbour decking rocking - and despite it being a wet start to the holiday weekend, it didn’t dampen the spirits of the audience on May 3, as they sang-along to hits such as Dakota and Mama Told Me Not To Come.<br/>Posting on Facebook, The Phonics said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in organising our show at Saundersfoot Harbour - to say we were blown away by how perfect everything was is an understatement! <br/>“Everything from the sound and lighting crew, the hospitality, and of course everyone who bought tickets. The memories from this one will stay with us forever.”<br/>Guitarist with the tribute band, Kevin McGuire also praised the organisation of the gig.<br/>“You should be so proud of yourselves, you're a prime example of how things should be organised, you did everything perfectly, and we (The Phonics) appreciate everything you did for us, so massive thanks once again,” he remarked.<br/>“Oh and you wouldn't need to ask twice for us to come back, we'd be there in a heartbeat!”<br/>Saundersfoot Harbour also thanked those that attended the concert: “Wow - completely blown away by the support shown last night from all those that attended our first large scale music event at the harbour. <br/><br/>“The harbour team were phenomenal as usual, all the event contractors were superb, the bands epic and the audience - just wow! <br/>“Being a Trust Port, the support from the community means so much to us. <br/>“All profits made are ploughed straight back into the harbour so that the harbour can continue to host a variety events and keep the harbour facilities well maintained for all to enjoy now and in the future.”<br/><br/>Videos: ©The Phonics/Saundersfoot Harbour<br/>Pic: ©Gareth Davies Photography<br/>
