A community concert featuring a variety of Welsh acts, including local favourites Stickman, has been planned for the 24th November at the Ffwrnes Theatre in Llanelli. As well as showcasing local talent, the concert serves as an opportunity to reconnect the community following disagreements and tensions around the Stradey Park Hotel.

The Croeso i Llanelli headliners, Stickman, are a disco punk band born and raised in Llanelli. Playing alongside them will be South Wales alt-rock act Holoson, as well folk singer Mari Mathias and punk rock band No Murder No Moustache, who will both be performing in Welsh. Duke Al, a Cardiff-based rapper and poet, will emcee the evening.

Organiser Steve Kelshaw said: “We know the majority of the community share our values of diversity, community and respect. It’s time we all got together to enjoy something positive, after some of the negativity there’s been in town.

The Croeso i Llanelli concert will be a chance to hear from some amazing artists – there’s something for everyone.

Times are hard and we want as many people to come as possible, which is why we’re happy to have concession ticket prices”
Headliners Stickman said: “We’re hoping that the concert will be a chance to promote the unity and inclusivity that we’ve always been used to in this town.”

    • Craig Nelson well if you want to be shot at. Hunted down. In a state where you need to risk your life to get to another country then I’m sure the government would happily support you.

  1. You are the ones causing the rifts by calling folks “racist” etc. Have a word with yourselves you bunch of hypocrites

    • Helen Morris with comments like yours we can all see who is causing the rifts. If you object to people coming into your community due to them purely being refugees then accusations of racism will logically follow. If your views were more accepting to people they may be more accepting of your non radical views.

      Being part of a group saying they don’t want refugees then having members of your protest online stating all refugees are rapists etc and leading a fear campaign isn’t a way to keep people happy.

      I also notice people like yourself cannot wait to jump on the we aren’t racist bandwagon when you all support groups like ukip and vow and you have members of patriotic alternative etc in the protest let alone alleged criminals like Darren edmundson.

    • Helen Morris with comments like that you wonder why people label yourselves as not nice people. If you were actually nice instead of heavily offensive you might find people treat you differently.

    • Helen Morris refugees asylum seekers. All in this country legally as they wouldn’t be in the asylum system if they weren’t here legally.

      Just keep misrepresenting the facts!!

    • Helen Morris so swearing at people. Calling people fat trannies is all due to others having an educated response to your opinions.
      Got to miss the days of reasoned debate

    • Craig Nelson here we go

      Same tripe just a different name on the account.

      If you class a refugee camp as a safe place then you obviously have no idea.

      People are pushed by desperation and you can’t say anyone is illegal as if they were illegal they couldn’t claim asylum.

    • Craig Nelson no they go to the country that the people traffickers take them, and if that was illegal, can you please explain to me why 80% of refugees are granted Asylum?
      You see its the Home office and the Law who decides who are refugees and who are not.

    • Craig Nelson what has that got to do with anything. I do but also respect my fellow human beings whatever their race religion or nationality.

    • Craig Nelson oh yes, I’ve been wearing my poppy for over a week, I have a poppy on my car too. Yesterday I took poppy wreaths down to my parents grave, my father RAF, my mother MOD, my uncle 20 years British Army, My grandfather a Sargent Major, held Khyber with the Gurkhas, before being a front line dispatch rider during WW 2, so you see we have a proud history of serving our country, and they were all sickened and disgusted by the far right. Hope that clears it up for you.

    • Craig Nelson hmm

      The irony is her relatives fought for freedom to allow for people to have freedom to express their views. Even ones like yours which they fought wars against.

    • Craig Nelson protect this country from external enemies and internal ones of people with views like yours

      Now go take your fake account and spread your poison elsewhere. This post is about an event for unity and somehow I doubt you are interested in any type of unity of different people and rsces

    • Craig Nelson I don’t hate anyone but I dislike people with fake accounts and fake locations who just want to cause hate and division.

      If you don’t have anything nice to say please just don’t say anything at all

    • Craig Nelson yes and to protect this country, from the hate if fascism, now take your disrespect for all those who gave they’re lives for our freedom elsewhere, try Tommy Robinson he and his fascist followers shamed everyone who gave their lives at the cenotaph this morning.
