It was more than a grand night. In fact, it was a ‘grand’ plus £132. Yes, that’s right, last Thursday’s fund-raising evening raised a total of £1,132 no less, thanks to the incredible generosity of everybody who tuned-in to enjoy what was an absolute belter of a music night. Regulars and Guest Appearances Pretty much all the […]

“What a Great Night”, “Exceptional”, “Terrific Performance”, “So Talented”, “All This for a Fiver!”.  The plaudits came thick and fast, both on the night and afterwards in messages and on Social Media.

There was a ‘full house’ in the function room at The Feathers Inn, when the former frontman of ELO2, Phil Bates, performed a concert for us at Ruthin AllStyles Music Club.

Back in the club’s early years, when […]

John Williams, of course, is a frequent visitor to our regular Singer’s Nights when he travels from Prenton on the chance of a floor spot and every time […]

Gary Edward Jones has spent the past two or three years writing his “Something About Simon” stage show, practising the songs of Paul Simon and honing his finger-style guitar skills to equal those of the master.
