club review

Hiya gang, well, what a brilliant night to end before the Summer Holidays. Ian started the night, nice to see him back to his old oops! young self lol! Then the wonderful Harry (Unfortunately we don't know his surname) but he's always uplifting singing great songs from Richard Thompson, Ralph McTell & The Kink's "Lazing on a sunny afternoon". Then great duets from Steve Woolley & Stuart Thompson despite the heat. Ian even a personal fan courtesy of the lovely Patsy, the photo will explain lol! Please note the club will be closed until Aug 9th when guest will be Phil Hare, enjoy the sunshine! We'll see you then, luv L xx

friday review

Hiya gang, well what a night, so sorry for the delay in posting the review. Thanks to everyone who made it on Friday and made it an excellent night, I was pretty sure Mike would be on top form and he didn't disappoint. As he mostly sings with a band it's only on his "Yearly solo gig" at our club he can sing what he wants to sing from his extensive repertoire. A big thanks to our lovely Ian "Sproggy" Sproson, unfortunately poor Sproggy had a problem with his knee last week and was taken to Hospital, although he put on a brave face and laughed and joked about, I could see he was in pain. So thanks sooo much Ian! It was also nice to see our "One man band" and superb accordion player, Steven Ireland, Steven's been busy with other things, plus still recovering from his hand injury some weeks ago. So I'm pleased to say he's back on form, plus we had regular singer/songwriter Steve Woolley, so they all contributed to make it a fantastic night. Next club night is July 19th, hope to see there, luv L xx

club update

Hiya gang, hope everyone is well. This Friday is club night and also a guest week, our guest is the fabulous, Mike Bowden. Mike has been a long time supporter of the club, I'm sure most members will know Mike, his music is more Blues than Folk and really laid back lol! He really is well worth seeing if you haven't seen him before, plus there is a possibility Bob Williamson (Not Bolton's Bob Williamson) who had played and recorded CD's with Mike may be able to come to the club. There's always Musicians that come to accompany Mike and it's always a good night, if you don't know Mike there are a few recordings on Youtube to wet your appetite. Club starts at 20:30, hope to see you there, luv L xx

club update

Hiya gang, just a short note, it's club week this week and it's a Singer/Musician/Poet's night, so anyone can come along to perform. Ian our resident singer will be there to provide plenty of music, plus Steve Woolley and Stuart Thompson Banjo, Mandolin and Guitarist extraordinaire will be there for a toe tapping music night lol! Club starts 20:30 hope to see you there, luv L xx

friday night review

Hiya gang, well, what a great night Friday was, a big thanks to Des Basterfield who very kindly agreed to stand in as Alun Parry was double booked and was unable to perform at the club. Ian was on great form despite starting with a cold, hope you're feeling better today Sproggy! But Des was the star of the night with his very own style of percussion using a small suitcase and a drum foot pedal lol! He certainly didn't disappoint, thanks so much and thanks to Kevin for all your help! Next club night is June 21st, hope to see you all then, luv L xx

quick update

Hiya gang, our guest this week will be the outstanding Des Basterfield, he describes his music as "Rock 'n' Roll, Folk via Reggae and swing with a bit of Anarchy thrown in for good measure." I would describe him as one of the best musicians around these days. If you've not seen him before, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed, but I've yet to see his famous 'Silver Shoes' lol! Club starts at 20:30 hope to see you down there, luv L xx
