Hessle golf club The Lady Captains Ball, a brilliant night a top class venue and very friendly people from whom we had a very warm welcome, the dance floor was busy from the opening number and continued to be so throughout the evening, Steve put in a selection of early Cliff Richard songs, Heinz, and Elvis during the Billy Fury Tribute which were very well received. As always Steve was on top form displayed great vocal warmth throughout his set. Tony followed Steve with some great Buddy Holly Numbers, mixed in with Eddie Cochran and Elvis, finishing his spot with the Buddy Holly Classis True Love Ways. The last set which always features both artists was a mix of numbers from the 50's and 60's and ended on the Matchbox Classic, Rockabilly Rebel. We had a great night and the audience loved it so much so that we will be back for the next Lady Captains Ball.

One of the first gigs after recent injury was a LEAPS charity event at the Willows Club Hull, It was an excellent night with some great acts which Included Country Singer Becky Brown, Roy Orbison Tribute Artist Dave Montana, Alan Vegas as John Lennon, and many more. The icing on the cake for me was Danielle Walters a 16 year old from Little Weighton with an incredible voice, and a stage presence beyond her years. Also taking part were Gemma's Dancers and the Irish Dancers who put on a two very proffessional and well received, performances.

Fabulous night at Worksop, superb and very appreciative audience, and as always in Nottinghamshire we were were extended a very warm welcome which we really appreciated. The dance floor was very well used during the evening, we like our rock and roll loud and fast, we were told by one club member and he was,nt kidding, louder was the cry and louder it went. The ticket only event had been sold out for three weeks, and everyone was determined to have a good time, the house was a rocking and a jumping and everyone had a great time. Our thanks go to everyone at the club for many nice comments and warm reception. We look forward to seeing you again in October.
