Sad News

Morning friend's it is with great sadness I have been asked let you all know Lynn Hardman passed away last night. Lynn had been very poorly for some time with chest problems and had put up one hell of a fight. Lynn was well known for singing with her husband Barry, their music was relevant to the life and times we live in and also sang at numerous political events, I will keep you updated on funeral arrangements as I find out, Lynn will be very sadly missed but one Lady that will not be forgotten. Good night and God bless Lynn RIP Lxx

Hi gang hope you're all well, just a short note to tell you that this Friday is a club week and is also a guest or I should say 'guests' week and boy oh boy have I got guests for you!! Originally Garron was a singular guest but he and friends Roydan Styles and Nicki Chapman had wanted to do a gig together but I didn't have any dates so they're joining forces on Friday, so with Garron's brilliant blues style and Roydan 's foot tapping style and Nicki on electric base anything could happen , but one thing's for sure we're in for a really good night,plus we'll have our regular singers and musicians my advice would be get there early.doors open 8.30pm bar till 11.30pm hope to see you there luv Lxx

Ps. if you think all folk is all arron sweaters and singers with their fingers in their ears lol Garron and Roydan will definitely remove that impression lol hope to see you there luv Lxx

club review by Jack McCully

Greeting everyone,
Lorna was unable to make it to the club on Friday and asked me to stand in for her. It`s a long time since I did anything like that and I felt a bit apprehensive about it. I relaxed a bit when I saw that we had a few regular performers present. I started the night by taking the dreaded first spot that a lot of singers hate. I was followed by my son Gordon and then Ian, Rob and Jonny Rep took us to the end of the first half. The second half kept to the same routine until the end when I went back on and finished off a very enjoyable evening with the old favorite Wild mountain thyme. Lorna can relax in the knowledge that the club is still intact. She will probably thank me for what I did but the people who really deserve the thanks are Gordon, Ian Rob and Jonny. Get well soon Lorna. Jack.

club review by Jack McCully

Hi all, Friday night started off looking like a potential disaster because most of you were absent. I hope you all have sick notes. The evening started with my son Gordon singing to a bare room and continued with me doing my bit. During my spot we were joined by a few more people who were obviously friends of the club guest Des Basterfield. This greatly improved the atmosphere of the club. The first half then ended with a short spot from Des who was in his customary great form. During the interval another unexpected arrival was Ed Kainyek suitably attired in flat cap. He quietly prepared his two saxophones, an alto and a soprano, the latter of which I thought could have been the missing evolutionary link between clarinet and saxophone.
Due to the late start caused by waiting in the vain hope that some of you lot would turn up the second half was one long brilliant guest spot by Des and Ed. At one point dancing broke out in the room and I was invited to participate by a most delightful young lady called Agata. She even pretended not to notice when I trod on her toes. Sorry Agata. So that is the story of how a disaster was very successfully averted.
Hope to see more of you next club night. Jack
