Saundersfoot band the Slipway Ukes led a rousing finale for Tenby’s first ever St David’s day Festival this week.
St David’s Day celebrations lasted for a whole seven days this year in the seaside town, with a variety of entertainments performed to appeal to all.
The festival finale was a ukulele singalong/playalong by local band the Slipway Ukes on Wednesday (March 6) at Church House in Tenby, with donations going to the Paul Sartori Hospice at Home Foundation charity.
“What an amazing time we had performing at St Mary’s Church House yesterday, as part of Tenby’s St David’s Festival!” the Slipway Ukes posted on Facebook.“We were blown away by the support from friends, other local ukulele groups and many more lovely people that joined us.
“Thank you to everyone for joining in and helping us to raise money for Paul Sartori Foundation.”
Tenby’s St David’s Festival for 2024 got going with a united choirs performance, with the combined voices of the Quaynotes, Griffon Choir, Serendipity Ladies and St Mary’s Church Choir heard in song at St Johns Church hall. Money was raised for the PATCH (Pembrokeshire Action to Combat Hardship) charity.
A Noson Lawen Variety Show was then held in St Mary’s Church House; whilst Jess Ward, harpist and songwriter, also performed at the venue on Sunday.
Church House was again the venue on the Monday for Mark Lewis’ exploration of the life and works of Dylan Thomas - ‘For as long as forever is’.
A screening of the classic film ‘The Englishman who went up a Hill but came down a Mountain’ was also shown at the De Valence Pavilion during the week.

00:00 And I think of all the things, don't you? In my head I play the big show
00:08 But since I've come on home, well my heart is beating less
00:17 And I miss your ginger hair, and the way you like to dress
00:24 Won't you come on over, someday you'll look like me
00:31 Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
00:37 Come on, Valerie
00:56 You know that I'm going to have to go to jail
01:01 But your house will understand, we'll be there, good Lord
01:06 I hope you didn't catch his hand, hope you found the right man, he's missing for you
01:17 Are you shopping anywhere? Change the color of your hair, are you busy?
01:33 Did you have to pay the fine? You've been dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
01:40 But since I've come on home, well my heart is beating less
01:50 And I miss your ginger hair, and the way you like to dress
01:57 Won't you come on over, someday you'll look like me
02:04 Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
02:09 Come on, Valerie
02:21 Come on, Valerie
02:27 Sometimes I go out by myself, and I look across the water
02:38 And I think of all the things that you'll do, in my head I paint a picture
02:51 'Cause since I've come on home, well my heart is beating less
02:59 And I miss your ginger hair, and the way you like to dress
03:05 Won't you come on over, someday you'll look like me
03:13 Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
03:18 Come on, Valerie
03:29 Come on, Valerie
