Well it was early when Pat and I arrived at 'The Ship' in Horbury Bridge: tonight it's Karaoke and Disco night tonight and every Saturday with Paul. There are also plans for a quiz night, I'll let you know when that happens. So my friends let's raise a glass to Kirsty and Iain and hope the Ship really sets sail. Paul, the DJ sang a couple of songs and a lady from the pub sang, 'White Flag', I'm afraid I didn't catch her name as she was with other people and I didn't like to interrupt but the customers were happy to join in, that for me was a good sign.
Westgate Common Club was busy when we arrived tonight. It was double bill night with the Sharpe Experience. First on stage was a young lady new to me, Abi Weigold who comes from Barnsley. She looked lovely in her stage wear, like the shoes. Abi has a nice voice; a couple of her songs were, 'Alone', one by Heart, and Adele's, 'Someone Like You'. There was, 'Forget You', a Ceelo Green song. Well done Abi Weigold. Another couple of her songs were an Eva Cassidy song, 'Creeping In', and one called, Super Duper Love'.
The Sharp Experience was next on and opened with a Monkee's song, 'I'm A Believer'. Then came the hilarious comedy, both visual and spoken. There was a Tony Christie song for them to destroy in fun by Bob of course. Lots more comedy followed, who said slapstick was dead. After his attempt to pull a lady out of the audience Rob sang His song, 'The Stuttering Bum'. That went down really well. There followed a series of gags told in Robs inimitable style. Now it's time for Paul's song, 'Through The Barricade', now for the songs and Rob's Michael Crawford impression. They closed their set with 'Something About You Baby I Like', a Tom Jones song. Look out for, “The Sharpe Experience”..
Goodfellas was the band in the Admiral Duncan in Wakefield. I'm afraid I didn't recognise any of their early songs but the lead singer could deputise for Rod Stewart or Dean Barton of the Spirit Of Smokie band with his husky voice. Eventually they played some I caught the titles of some which were! 'Wipeout', by the Safaris in which the drummer excelled and 'Don't Look Back In Anger'. Oasis, I think. 'Sit Down’', 'Come On Everybody', an Eddie Cochran big hit from the 1950's. There was the hit from the Monkees, 'I'm A Believer', Bryan Adams, 'Summer Of 69'. They ended their set with the Kings of Leon's 'Sex On Fire'. A brilliant show from Goodfellas. Although I didn’t recognise some of their songs, I did appreciate their abilities as musicians.
