club review by Jack McCully

Welcome to the Friday review. As I sat in the bar having a quiet pint and looking forward to hearing Bo Weavil again I was surprised to see Des Basterfield come in. I wondered if perhaps the booked guests couldn`t make it and Des had been asked to stand in at short notice. A few minutes later Roydan Styles turned up. I then wondered if a special night had been planned and I hadn`t heard about it. That idea was half right. It was a special night but it hadn`t been planned. It just happened.

Ian started the ball rolling with a couple of songs including Mon like thee. Then Des followed by Roydan made their very welcome contributions to the evening`s entertainment. Bo Weavil as usual lived up to all our expectations to end the first half.


The second half started with me doing a parody of Ian`s first song and then we moved on to the good stuff. We heard Des and Roydan again before Bo Weavil rounded off a very enjoyable evening. Congratulations to all who were lucky enough to be there and commiserations to those who missed it.
See you all next club night. Jack

club update

Hi gang, sorry notice is late this week, this Friday is a singers night which means anyone is invited to come to the club and join in, club opens at 8.30pm, the club is upstairs in the small room. A few weeks ago I told you that a well-known and loved singer, Lynn Hardman passed away, Lynn and her husband, Barry played at numerous festivals and folk clubs. On Friday 5th December a number of musicians and singers will be paying tribute to Lynn, such as Claire Mooney, David South, Steve Woolley, Dave Jones Stuart Thompson and more will be there.  Also there will be a live link to America to join a friend of Ian Sproson, the event will held downstairs so although there will be no door change collection there will be raffles will be held and any monies raised will be given to the family. I'm sure it will be a great night and a fitting tribute to Lynn. That will be on December 5th luv Lxx.
