Friday night review

Hi gang, sorry the review is really late, unfortunately I've been unwell and wasn't able to post it.
Well I said to expect a great night, with guests Michelle Holding and Bonz, well it was a brilliant night!! Jack McCully who is one of our regular singers very kindly started off the night as our resident singer Ian Sproson wasn't able to make it as his guide dog Corky had had a number of tests under anesthetic, but he seems to be on the mend now. Gordon McCully sang for us followed by Steve Woolley and Stuart Thompson, Johnny Rep also sang later on. Michelle and Bonz were on good form they started with ' Nashville Cats' then just sang song after song, I kind of lost count. They did a great version of Lyle Lovett's song "God will but I won't" plus Tom Payne's "Bones" their repetiore is amazing, so a good time was had by all, it really was an excellent night. The next club night is this Friday the 30th of May which is a singers, musicians and poets night, so if you fancy coming along to play, sing or recite poetry, you will be made very welcome. Hope to see you there, luv Lxx

Good morning New Clevelanders! I am a singer and musician called Louise Jordan from down in Hampshire and I am organising a couple of tours (October 2014 and May 2015), it would be fantastic to come and visit you. Here is a link to my website where you will find some live performances and more information about my work.
I have been a full time musician for three years now since giving up my more sensible job of teaching in east London. Perhaps you can let Lorna Egan know if this is of interest.

Best wishes to you all.

Club review

Hi gang, thankyou to everyone who made it to the club last Friday I know there wasn't many of us but unfortunately that's what happens on Bank Holidays, but it didn't spoil the night we had quality over qualities lol. Ian 'Sproggy' Sproson was on fine form apart from his outburst of the giggles which set us all off plus Gordon Mc cully was in fine fettle too he tells me he's written the music which he plans to write a song about the club ! I don't know if that's something for me to worry about lol it was luvly to have Jack Mc Cully back he said he was a bit nervous at first but his nerves soon settled but he thanked us for beautiful flowers mass cards and support from members from the club following the recent loss of good lady Margaret RIP nice to have you back Jack xx plus thanks to Kevin and Carolanne for all their help setting up and clearing up and recording raffle and all the other stuff you do to help the night go well. On a lighter note I've had a lady singer and musician who would like to come as a guest in the future as she lives a long way from the club she's joined the club and is going to put some of her music etc. so you can let me know if you would like me to sort a guest night her name is Louise Jordan so look out for her take care everyone luv Lxx

club review

In the words of Ian 'Sproggy' Sproson:

It has been said many times how warm and friendly our folk club is and last night it shone out with the people gathered chatting and tuning before they had removed their coats. This set the tone for the evening with Steve, Stuart and others warming us up with great songs and tunes. I had a bash and as ever felt the warmth of the audience shine back at me. I can assure any nervous musician singer poet, or writer they have the best place ever to try something new. Peter Ryder is not only a superb musician/artist in his own right his kindness and warmth would melt the hardest of stone hearted audiences. He appreciated everyone even me when I was singing one of the choruses, with a flash of kindness saying 'I'm glad you came'. Yes I was glad and I've no doubt that everyone there was glad as well. Also we were thrilled by a song from his good lady who came forward and took centre stage in her own right. Lorna rose to the occasion with easter eggs and even some special chocci treats for our mascot Corky, who is lying flat out recovering as I write this. Here's to the next singers night in 2 weeks time see you all then. Corky's dad.

I couldn't have put it better myself thanks Sproggy. luv Lxx
