club review

Hiya gang, I can't really add any more to what Ian has said:

'I have to say that I had high expectations for last night, as Lorna has been working tirelessly for weeks. The night came and simply didn't live up to my expectations...  IT EXCEEDED ANY OF MY FEEBLE EXPECTATIONS BY MILES, which rhymes with Roydan Styles. Sorry couldn't resist that! I won't name names co's everyone was simply top of the shop. It will take some following and it was nice to see my good friends again. There was a twinge of sadness co's Molly couldn't have joined in he would have loved this night!'

It really was a brilliant night thanks to Roydan, Nicki and all the Musicians and Poets that made it great, thank you Steve, Stuart, Steven, Ian, Jack, Gordon, Des, Johnny, Rob, J.P. Slidewell for making our Christmas party go with a bang (Balloons that is!) Also a big thank you to Jim and Co, who borrowed a camcorder to record  party, I will put it on Facebook and the Blog when I get it off Jim. Last Friday was the last club night of this year, we will reopen on the 10th of January with J.P. Slidewell. Have a great Christmas and New Year everyone and thank you for supporting the club and there's lots more to come in 2014, lots of luv Lxx

club review

Hiya gang, well I said we had the making's of a good night, what we got was an absolutely brilliant night! Unfortunately our resident singer Ian Sproson was unable to be there due to family commitments, so Steven Ireland started the evening off for us and really set the bar. Jack McCully followed with his unique style of Scottish and humorous songs, we then had a gentleman Johnny Rep who hasn't been to the club before and said he was extremely nervous, but he didn't need to be 'cause he was really good. Steve Woolley and Stuart Thompson were on top form as usual, Dave Gordon also performed he pointed out it was about 12 months since he'd at the club, the rest of the night was taken up by Guest Roydan Styles and his friend Anthony 'Bongo Fury'. Poor Nicki was unable to make it due to cold/flu symptoms, get well soon, Nicki, we really missed you xx. Roydan and Anthony were absolutely brilliant, although they were playing the whole second half of the night, they invited different Musicians to join in. At one point, every Musician was playing 'Take's a Worried Man'. I noticed a couple on members were recording it on their Mobile's, I asked them to forward me the footage so I can post it on here for you to see. Well done Roydan and Anthony, thank you for a great evening.

Roydan is the Guest Musician at the Christmas party, on the 13th of December, he would like to invite any Musicians to come and play along with him. The lovely Michelle Holding and Bonz, was Guest Musicians at last years party, she and Bonz truly were excellent, let's hope they can make it too. Hope to see you all on the 13th, fancy dress is optional lol! Luv Lxx

club update

Hiya gang, hope you're all well, just a short reminder that this week is a Guest week. Our Guest it the extremely talented, Roydan Styles and his equally talented wife, Nicki. Roydan has been a Guest in the past and is hugely popular, he recently appeared on Oldham Community Radio with Ian and myself, which was great fun. So with regular artists, Steve Woolley, Stuart Thompson and Jack & Gordon McCully, it has the makings of a good night. Club starts 20:30, hope to see you there, luv Lxx

club update

Hiya gang, Hope you're all well, it's been an interesting week this week. I was invited onto 'Sounds of Folk' at Oldham Folk Radio which is run by two lovely people, Ali O'Brien and Bernard Cromarty, our resident singer, Ian 'Sproggy' Sproson and out next Guest the fabulous, Roydan Styles. We all had a great time joining in with Sproggy's songs, what great harmonies! If you missed it the show is repeated at 5pm on 99.7 FM. This week it's a Singer/Musician/Poet's night at the club, so anyone is welcome to come along and perform or come along and just listen since there is always other regular members who come and perform. Singer's nights are there for Singer/Musician's to play to an audience without pressure or to try out a new song, we are able to allocate more time than we can on a Guest night. Club starts 20:30 hope to see you Friday, luv L xx

friday review

Hiya gang, sorry for the late review, but time got away from me. Friday night . . . what a brilliant night! A big thank you to the wonderful Mike Bowden firstly for standing in at such short notice when Alun Parry cancelled and secondly for an excellent night of great songs and his infamous poem, which Mike says he only ever does at our club. We also had brilliant songs and music from Ian 'Sproggy' Sproson, Jack and Gordon McCully, Steve Woolley, Dave King and non other than Birthday Boy Stuart Thompson lol! It's not easy to pull the wool over Stuart's eyes, but we did lol! We had gotten a Tankard which was engraved from us, with a cheeky addition from friend Mike Harding, it left Stuart lost for words for once apart from being 'Reet Chuffed' lol! So a good time was had by all. I'd also like to say a big thanks to Steve at Ourglass Crystal Engravings for helping out at the last minute, have a look at some of Steve's fantastic work on Ourglass Crystal Engravings

The next club night is the 15th of November which is a Singer/Musician/Poet's night, anyone is welcome to come along and perform, we've had some brilliant singers and musician come to our singer's nights recently, new performers as well as well known musicians. So Hope to see you there, luv L xx

P.S. Listen on Monday to Sounds of Folk with Ali O'Brien at Oldham Community Radio show FM 99.7 for live performances from Ian Sproson, Roydan Styles and more from the Club, oh and me lol!
