club review by Jack McCully

Welcome to the Friday review. As I sat in the bar having a quiet pint and looking forward to hearing Bo Weavil again I was surprised to see Des Basterfield come in. I wondered if perhaps the booked guests couldn`t make it and Des had been asked to stand in at short notice. A few minutes later Roydan Styles turned up. I then wondered if a special night had been planned and I hadn`t heard about it. That idea was half right. It was a special night but it hadn`t been planned. It just happened.

Ian started the ball rolling with a couple of songs including Mon like thee. Then Des followed by Roydan made their very welcome contributions to the evening`s entertainment. Bo Weavil as usual lived up to all our expectations to end the first half.

The second half started with me doing a parody of Ian`s first song and then we moved on to the good stuff. We heard Des and Roydan again before Bo Weavil rounded off a very enjoyable evening. Congratulations to all who were lucky enough to be there and commiserations to those who missed it.
See you all next club night. Jack

Hi gang, sorry notice is late this week, this Friday is a singers night which means anyone is invited to come to the club and join in, club opens at 8.30pm, the club is upstairs in the small room. A few weeks ago I told you that a well-known and loved singer, Lynn Hardman passed away, Lynn and her husband, Barry played at numerous festivals and folk clubs. On Friday 5th December a number of musicians and singers will be paying tribute to Lynn, such as Claire Mooney, David South, Steve Woolley, Dave Jones Stuart Thompson and more will be there.  Also there will be a live link to America to join a friend of Ian Sproson, the event will held downstairs so although there will be no door change collection there will be raffles will be held and any monies raised will be given to the family. I'm sure it will be a great night and a fitting tribute to Lynn. That will be on December 5th luv Lxx.

Hi gang, hope everyone is okay and coping with this horrendous weather. It's just a short notice to let you know that this Friday is a club week and also a guest week. Our guest is the extremely talented singer/ songwriter David South, it's not easy to describe Davids style of music as he plays from such a huge repetiore including modern,traditional and contemporary and songs he's written himself, I also understand he wrote and dedicated a song at the funeral last week for the late Lynne Hardman who was a brilliant singer and mutual friend who sadly passed away. The occasions David had played and sang at the club in the past he's been really entertaining so we're looking forward to seeing him again and think we're in for a really good night also Ian Sproson has been communicating with a singer and musician from USA and is trying to set up a live connection with her should also be good. Hope you can make it look forward to seeing you there club opens at 8.30pm if you want any further info re:- Ian's live USA connection contact him directly through Facebook luv Lxx

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
