What a lovely club this is, a great atmosphere and pleasant staff
Opening the show it's Ricky Starr. He looked very smart in trousers, waistcoat and a shirt. Gary Barlow's, 'Let Me Go' was his opening song; a Sammy Davis song 'Mr Bojangles', followed, after a song by Dan Hill. Ricky introduced the first to audition who is from Manchester, Sophia Leonard; Sophia looks good in a knee length multi coloured dress, like the shoes. Her first song was a Nina Simone song, 'Feeling Good',(You Know I Feel), an Etta James favourite, 'I Just Wanna Make Love To You'. Sophia has quite a repertoire of songs to match her voice. A Frank Sinatra song was, 'My Funny Valentine', Sophia sang Tina Turner's, !Proud Mary'. And Adele's 'Skyfall'.
Our next entertainer was Lucy Emma from Cheshire who has has sung all over Europe on Cruise ships. Her first song was from the film 'Frozen', 'Let Her Go', then there was, Eva Cassidy's, 'Over The Rainbow',. Lucy looked beautiful in a knee length silver sequinned dress, like the shoes. Songs by Dusty Springfield, Heatwave , and finished with, 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough', the Diana Ross version. (Sorry Lucy). A good selection of songs and a good performance from Lucy Emma'
It was nice to see Michael Hainsworth, Rachel Hainsworth and Steffi Ackroyd. Good company for me along with compere Ricky Starr who is a very good compere.. Well done Ricky...
Part two. Ricky Start came back to sing a couple of songs, 'Human' was one, and 'Something Inside So Strong', he introduced a Ska Band. Called, 'Ska House', they all looked smart on stage in black trousers and black shirts with white silk ties. the first number was, 'A Message To You',. From where I was sitting I could see three guitars, bass and rhythm, two trumpeters, a drummer, a saxophone player, a keyboards player who doubles on guitar and a lead singer. I liked the tune, 'Tequila', this was a big hit for the Ted Heath Orchestra back in 1958 but I think maybe it was the Champs version Ska House were playing. there was Toploaders, 'Dancing in The Moonlight'. Dexys, Midnight Runners, 'Come On Eileen'. There were more songs from this energetic band. Very enjoyable...
