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!
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.
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!
“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.”
Guitarist with the tribute band, Kevin McGuire also praised the organisation of the gig.
“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.
“Oh and you wouldn't need to ask twice for us to come back, we'd be there in a heartbeat!”
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.

“The harbour team were phenomenal as usual, all the event contractors were superb, the bands epic and the audience - just wow!
“Being a Trust Port, the support from the community means so much to us.
“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.”
