A great night despite being down in numbers due to absentees attending the festivals. We only had around 30 in, which was a big drop from the 80 plus on the previous club night.
Terry did a super job as M.C. in the absence of Neil, and Tracey ran the reception desk in equally expert manner.
We had some new faces experiencing the Happy Club for the first time and they all said they would be back for more next Friday.
Another super night at the Rhyl Acoustic on Friday and an official all-ticket record attendance of 80 plus, with the SOLD OUT special guest night appearance of Wigan based folk band ‘MerryHell’
They went down a storm as usual, supported by some of the club’s regular talented floor singers.
Also we had a visit from Dave Jones of Folk North West Magazine who said he was impressed with the standard of our performers and the friendly atmosphere and general set-up of the club.
Chris Birchall was wielding his trusty video camera on the night, and the results will be available soon.
Yet again folks, many thanks for your great support, it makes everybody’s hard work worthwhile.
Club members Alan & Dawn here singing a new song which they wrote when they were staying at the Gathering Guest House at Inverie on Scotland’s beautiful Knoydart peninsula overlooking the southern tip of the Isle of Skye
They are gifting their song to the excellent bed and breakfast landlady Cara, who runs The Gathering, and who posted this video on the Gathering’s Facebook page.
Another super night to start the Easter weekend and a plethora of youngsters in the club again to help lower the average age.
Joe was back and recording some stuff for his uni-work he also performed with his band ‘Leo’s Hide’.
We also had new face and talented Rachel making her debut and she promised to return again.
On the other side of the coin we had {O.F}. Tony Grant, if you don’t know what O.F. stands for, look on the notice board. It’s always a pleasure to hear Tony sing when he’s on top form and he surely was on Friday.
All helped along by our great regular performers, the evening was a perfect warm-up for next weeks visit of Merry Hell.
Sorry to say that all the tickets have been sold out and with a room capacity of 80, we have to adhere to on safety grounds.
Thank you all for your continued support.
