Check out DJ Jorddy on the Llanelli Music Scene Circuit

By Trudi Goldsmith

Jorddy is a Musician/DJ who says his heart is in promoting and bringing  music to the people of Llanelli!

Jorddy says he wants to introduce young people ( under 18’s) to music in the area which he does by way of working with The Vestry community project and arranging discos at the town centre venue. The Disco’s take place on the last Saturday of every month and Jorddy reports that the number of young people attending the disco at the Vestry last month doubled and he is hoping that this month they could possibly triple!!!

Jorddy states that the difference between the Vestry and the usual disco is that the Vestry is purely for young people and it’s not about money or trying to start young people clubbing from a young age. It’s about providing a safe place on a Saturday night, playing music that isn’t all swearing, and it is about  getting the chance to meet and build relationships with the young people of Llanelli in an environment that they can be themselves.

Jorddy says the Vestry is now starting’ Live’ nights which are the second Saturday of every month where local acts can come play to a younger crowd.

Anyone interested can contact ‘The Vestry‘ on 07868116986.

In relation to supporting the live music circuit for people aged over eighteen in the Llanelli area Jorddy says ‘ I am all for bringing back Llanelli’s night life for my generation. We need to be keeping with the times, I’ve done a few nights in Stamps playing your latest in Hip Hop, RnB, Dubstep & more and they were packed! That showed me that there was a need for this type of music in Llanelli’.

Jorddy says he is going to be putting on a Music Event  on a regular basis in Tom Peppers and he says that ‘ Since Tom Peppers is not  open on a Saturday night at the moment then it is a good time to start a fresh. Whilst Bar Luna is playing your latest chart music & house, let’s get Tom Peppers playing RnB & Hip Hop and Kazbar playing rock music with live bands and then we’re catering for all’. Jorddy’s first event  at Tom Peppers took  place on Bank Holiday Sunday, 26th May and Jorddy says that If you want to put Llanelli on the map then you gotta help do your bit and come to any future events that he arranges.!

In addition to putting on his own events Jorddy is Djing at Kandi Bar’s Grounded Teen Night foam party on 11th June for under 18’s aged between 13-17
