Club Review

Hiya Gang
Thanks to everyone who made Friday such a great night of singers and musicians, even newcomers. Unfortunatelt Ian 'Sproggy' Sproson our resident singer went on a mercy dash his sister recently had a fall and broke a few ribs 'Ouch!' so he has gone to give some moral support. So one of our regular singers Jack McCully who we are calling 'the temporary 'temporary' resident singer' lol, started the night off with a traditional scottish folk song and a humourous song about the scottish police lol. That seems to really set the scene for the rest of the night with humourous songs. Rob Dunsford read out a poem which he got the audience to join in and then followed is with a song. After Rob we had a lovely man who had come with Rob, it takes a lot of guts to get up and sing or play, or even recite a poem, epxpecially to an audience you don't know. Philip Walton got up and did a poem/song about a priest and a choir boy lol enough said. Gordon McCully got up and did a couple of songs, followed by Johnny Rep who was going to play the mouth organ when he sung but I think he got his lip stuck so he just stuck to singing instead lol. After Johnny we took a break for everyone to top up their drinks, Jack opened up the second half followed by quite a few songs from Steve Wooley. Rob got up and sang and I was really chuft because Philip Walton, the shy one from the first half, got up and sang a humourous two song double set. By this time, the night had run away with us so Johnny Rep did the honours and closed the evening for us. Well done to all singers and muscians, next club night is 21st March when our guest is the fantastic Bo Weavil, which is a five piece band who play American 50's style Folk music and Blue's with their own definitive take on things. If you have not seen them and would like a taster they will be on Oldham Folk Community Radio on Monday 7-8pm, however please check the time incase anything has changed. Hope to see you on 21st March, it looks like its gonna be another cracker, best get there early to get your seat! Doors open at 8.30pm, club starts not long after. Luv L xx
