Friday 13th, Doncaster Bowling Club, Hexthorpe.

A very nice club, It was a cold and frosty night but very friendly folk, the Steward & Stewardess were very helpful, did my 3 sets, lots of line dancing and laughter, I actually won the play your cards game, netted £18.00, all in 1 pound coins, who cares it all spends, I wish I had a bag full, Ha-Ha,.

Motorhome for a trip to North Wales & Shropshire.

19th, First port of call the Wrexham Lager Club, always like to go here very nice people, and I am always made  a fuss of, a very good turn out to say the weather was very bad, blowing a gale and chucking it down with rain, a great night was had by all, lots of singing and line dancing, request by the bucketful, Thank you for everything, I had a Great Time, see you all again soon,   

Friday 20th, A 36 mile drive to the Lion at Westbury, A cracking little gig, had a very good turn out, one or two new faces in attendance, It has been a little sparse of late , we had a great meal made by the lovely Belinda, and with not working on the Saturday, we  had our evening meal in the pub, There was also a Birthday party with entertainment, the entertainment being Phil & Ann who run the Wrexham Lager Country club, where I was on the Thursday, a cracking night, It was nice to relax and listen to someone else for a change, They did a great show, mixing Country with 50s & 60s,.

Sunday, the 22nd, Onibury Village Hall, used to be The craven Arms

Great Night, It was a very cold night, but that did not deter the punters, a great turn out, Thank You, and what a very nice surprise to see my old friend Jim Angell, we had a little chin wag and caught up with all the gossip Ha-Ha. Lots of line dancing, in fact Thee was not a song I sang in the whole of the evening the the dancers were not on the dance floor, must have been  on the Sanatogin Wine Ha-Ha (ONLY JOKING) , Thank you once again, hope to see you again soon.

Monday 23rd a 23 mile journey up to the Lazyacre Country Club at The Lord Hill Shrewsbury Run by my good friends Tony, Jean, & Lyne Best, A sell out crowd to see the swing Commanders and My Good Self, What a talented set of young people, Harmonies  - Instrumentalists - Vocals, and the list goes on and on, I did my little bit, but I was not my usual self I had the stuffing knocked out of me just 30 minutes before I was due to perform my Daughter phoned me to inform me that my Great Granddaughter who is only 2 month old may be blind, they found out by accident   called the nurse, and  she arranged for them to see the doctor at the hospital the next day, now she has to go see a special eye person, I have forgotten the name Opt something or other, anyway we are keeping our fingers crossed, It may be able to be put right they can do wonderful things nowadays, Apart from that it was a great night, and thank you to you all for your support, and the telephone calls I have received enquiring how thing are.

Other than that it was a great 5 days out on the road, we had a great drive back and stopped on the top of the Pennines for our dinner.

Motorhome again for this weekend

27th, The Stable Bar at Leadenham, once again a very cold and rainy night but that did not deter  the faithful crowd, it was a full house, Bert was his usual self, making sure everyone was taken care of with cups of tea and coffee, and making sure they were all comfy, His good lady  WIFE Maria was a little under the weather with cold, but she welcomed everyone in, Joan (Compere) was her usual happy go lucky self, having fun with crowd in the raffle, and having a good laugh, I was touched by the Gesture of Neville, Read, He brought me a little hip flask full of a vintage whisky, now that's a friend, I enjoyed it back in the Motorhome after the gig. (Thank you Neville). Also it was a great surprise to see John, he has not been too well of late, nice to see you back John, I was bombarded with lots of requests, One being an old Kitty  Wells song (How Far is Heaven), I used to sing this back in the seventies when I first started singing country seriously and doing gigs, I will try and get the backing track but if not I will do it as I used to do, just strum the guitar and sing. Anyway thanks for a great night, I had a ball, Oh by the way I won a raffle prize a little Merecat, a smashing little thing, I will put it on show by the side of my amp at gigs for all to see, Any suggestions of a name for it will be gladly received, Ta Ra For now.

 

Saturday 28th, Kings Theatre Newmarket, Sufolk.

What a great little Theatre & Gig, Run by the Nomads the Am-Dram society who actually own and run the theatre who are well organised by Gail Baker, Gail is great nothing too much bother for her to do to make things go right, The crowd is starting to come back now, after the little split they had, (The least said about this the better), anyway things are starting to get better and by the next time I go back next May I hope the Great Theatre will be packed to the rafters again, They have some great shows for you this year, It is run once a month, check The Cross Country Magazine it will be Advertised somewhere in there, Probably in the Gig Guide, or just ring the Theatre for info they will gladly put you right, I had a smashing evening, it went far too fast, a great bunch of people, thank you for your support, see you all next may.
