Tonight twenty eight people turned up at the Rhyl Football Club of which there were twelve performers. It was an evening of  varied acoustic music and song.

All the performers did three songs. Linda and Tom Degney started it all off with a song about the rain (but it didn’t) and they rang a bell as well. Tom also finished the evening  with Sally and Bye Bye Blue medley followed by an instrumental piece on an instrument that I can’t remember. (he plays so many).

Teagan   (Neil’s Grand daughter) came next and sang songs called Skinny Love and Take Me to the Church.

It was nice to see Mike Whittaker & Colin Campbell from Llandudno.  Mike for the first time at the club sang a couple of his own songs My Old Man & These things I Do and Colin did Tequila Sunrise and His Latest Flame which was an old Elvis number from the early sixties. Richard & Wendy Eastwood sang next,  Richard did Roses are Red and one of Wendy’s songs was Sweet Heart Darling of Mine.

Colin Masterson sang I’m in Love & I Call your Name.  Geoff Hollis came up with a Sam Larkin number called Mirabeau Bridge.  Bob Neale gave us a couple of songs which included Cat Stephen’s Father & Son.  Glyn Hudson went  a cappella with The Wedding Song & Down in the Valley,  followed by Penni Neale with Mr Bojangles and Desperado.

There were a few other songs done, thirty six in all. It was a good night and we will meet again on Friday 11th March 2016 at 8.00 pm.  Look forward to seeing everybody then.

Sorry folks, there will be no club this week due to Rhyl F.C. having home Friday night fixture.

Luckily this is a rare occurrence.

Back to normal with a Singers’ Night on the 19th.

Dont miss the chance to see our old friend Paul’s visit to the club.   ‘Nestonboy’ himself is a very fine singer/songwriter who effortlessly entertains with his varied talents, so if you like your music a little bit country-rockabilly this is the one for you.  This is sure to be another super night at the club, so arrive early to get your favourite spot.

Check-out Paul on youtube, especially my favoured ‘A Town Like This’

Emma Runswick and Josh Cartwright, a.k.a. ‘Our Morals’ made a welcome return to the club as our special guests to round off the 2014  list.

Operating as a duo these days the talented couple gave a superb performance with Emma on guitar & concertina and Josh on acoustic bass interspersed with his skill as a classically trained trumpet player, but mainly it’s the tight harmonies that make the pair stand out from the crowd.

Their opening song was ‘Worried Well’  and honestly, Emma admitted to a first ever mistake in this song, it goes without saying that none of the audience spotted it. Then they took us back to the 1980s with Delimitre’s ‘Nothing ever happens’ but some of the crowd were reminiscing about the 1880s.

The amiable young couple did two highly enjoyable 40 minute sets covering Folk-Jazz and Gospel, I do think we will be hearing a lot from Emma & Josh in the future.

The rest of the spaces were filled by our very own talented regulars.
