The highlight of last week for me was performing my Phil Evans and friends, Love and Laughter show at the Lyric Theatre Carmarthen.

The Lyric is a spectacular old theatre full of character and seems to have a magical feel about it. It is run by very dedicated and well organised staff that could not do enough to help us, which made our night even more special.

A show like this is nothing without its audience and we discovered that some of them had travelled from Neath, Swansea, Llanelli, Pembroke and even as far as Cambridge, which clearly demonstrates to us that people do love live entertainment.

Theatres are suffering due to the drop in numbers of people actually going out to watch live entertainment, but I urge you to get out there and support the vast range of talent that is waiting to entertain you, or we are in danger of these wonderful venues closing for good.

Go on, make 2015 your year to support local clubs and theatres. I bet you will enjoy it more than you would ever have imagined.
