This is it - our final farewell and a celebration of 7.5 years packed with memories to last a lifetime.
We're kicking off with a Libertino playlist curated by the one and only Gruffydd Wyn Owen.
This will be followed by a live set from The Dappers who have been at the heart of The Parrot since the very beginning. We're delighted to see them return for our final night.
... Bringing in the New Year, we present The Vinyl Frontier featuring DJs Tangled, Frantastic and Sensei Sion.
After midnight, Carmarthen hip hop act Culture Vultures return for one final appearance, followed by DJ Captain Black, who brings home-made mash-ups and musical mischief which knows no boundaries and gives no fucks.
Finally, Sesh On continue the party with SelectriX and SUB:CONSCIOUS going back to back until close.
7pm to 4am.
£5 entry before midnight / free afterwards.

Those concerned about grassroots music (and the future of the arts in general) have an opportunity to respond to a survey by the Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru | Arts Council of Wales about how Lottery funding is allocated. The deadline is 15th Feb 2019 and we would urge you to respond with your suggestions and concerns. Grassroots venues across the UK are in crisis and urgent change is needed to secure the future of the few that remain.
We came in today for lunch and the lady that came to take our order etc was amazing!! ( sorry didn't get your name). The food was so delicious and fresh!! The customer service was brilliant and will definitely be returning with my husband before baby arrives ☆☆☆☆☆ xx
Top venue. Dead friendly staff. Great food loads of veggie options. Best coffee in Carmarthen. Best record shop in west wales upstairs.
The spiritual home of the West Wales music scene.
The more music bar and cafe's ... the better for the music loving strolling public eh! x
