The Blackpool Command Preview Shows Band Wagon rolls into Pontefract tonight. We will be in the Prince Of Wales club.
First on was the man with whom class comes as Standard, 'Ricky Graham'. He was impeccably dressed as always, like the shoes, Alan does too, he opened the show with a Neil Diamond song, 'Cracklin' Rosie', followed by a Matt Monro song, 'Walk Away', a voice like a good wine, gets better with age, he's over 21 you know. One for Pat, a Joe Dolan song, 'Make Me An Island'. Many more from this doyen of performances. I liked Ricky's version of Luther Van Dross's, 'Dance With My Father'. Another from Neil Diamond, 'Forever In Blue Jeans'. There were Roy Orbison songs in there too. Loved the Irish Medley. Ricky ended this most entertaining set with, The Answer'.
Enter the brilliant boy girl rock duo, 'REBEL REBEL' (they'll love that, boy girl tag, they're both over 21 now you know). They opened their set with a couple of Meatloaf songs, 'You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth'. And, 'I Would Do Anything For Love But I Won't Do That', another rocker was, 'Sweet Child Of Mine'. A Bryan Adams big hit, 'Summer Of '69'. Yes folks, great rock sound. Rebel Rebel...the last song was a Bon Jovi song, 'Bed Of Roses'. An excellent set...
After a short interval to re set the stage, the next act, 'Samantha Lou Atkinson', from Hull took the stage. She looked lovely in a Beautiful long pink dress, like the shoes and the dress. Samantha has a very powerful voice, her opening song was,' You're My World', one by Cher, 'Believe', a Shirley Bassey song, ‘I Who Have Nothing', there was Adele's, 'Set Fire To The Rain', I love Eva Cassidy songs, this one was, 'Songbird'. Sung with light and shade in the right places. Still like the shoes. Another great Shirley Bassey big song, 'This Is My Life', the moves with the hands are brilliant. The last song was one by Prince, 'Purple Rain’; Samantha left the stage to a great ovation.
The last but by no means least it’s, 'The Angelettes'. Victoria, Jennie and Holly are the three beautiful young ladies who make up this Motown and soul trio. Again, like the shoes, lovely stage outfits all usually made by Victoria. I liked the wonderful note perfect harmonies. Like the shoes, all three pairs, The first song was Diana Ross’s, ‘Baby Love', in a medley of Motown songs, the moves on stage are well choreographed. I liked the song within the medley, 'Third Finger Left Hand'. More of the Motown songs, 'Get Ready', a Mary Wells song was, 'My Guy'. 'Needle In A
Haystack', 'Up The Ladder To The Roof'. A super selection of songs. There were many more from the Angelettes, a super show. 'River Deep Mountain High' was another great song from, Yes folks a good class of entertainment. The final song in the set was, 'Dancing In The Street'.
