Club Diary

 

Past entries have now been archived. If you wish to view the past entries, go HERE!

 

24Apr08:

PETE CASTLE entertained us with his stories and songs. A capacity crowd also enjoyed some super floor singers, including Bagatelle, Graham and Al Briggs.

 

27Mar08:

BARRON BRADY did the club proud. What a lovely couple who soon warmed to our audience.

Feedback:

"we really enjoyed it and thought it exceptionally well run and organised, with high quality floor singers and attentive audience. 
I hope and expect your club will go from strength to strength. Thanks again- hope to see you both again soon

28Feb08:

CLUB NIGHT, and what a night it was. A virtual FULL HOUSE and everyone was treated to a wealth of talent and variety. Plenty of songs to join in with and the added pleasure of a few Light Ploughman's Lunches at knock down prices.

Feedback:

"What a fantastic evening at the Club last night.  We can't think how you manage to make each meeting that bit different, a good variety of performers, most enjoyable"

 

24Jan08:

TIM LAYCOCK was our guest for this month. And the night was a FULL HOUSE. Tim treated us all to a fantastic evening..such a talent. We hope he comes back soon.

And we had a good mix of supporting singers, including Jason Prosser- from "out of town"- he would be welcome at any time in the future.

 

Feedback:

"Bob.....it was a real privilege to be there.....It was lovely to hear all of you singing and playing, and to see a true artiste such as Tim (Laycock)- what a lucky coincidence for me to see a son of Dorset on his home turf! I know you are a little uncertain about the move from your previous premises, but from what I saw and heard last night, you have no reason to be even the slightest bit concerned; you have a well-attended, knowledgeable club, with good regular performers, a firm but understanding hand on the tiller and very sound and committed "back room" staff........Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you in the not-too-distant future."
