A double bill at a very busy. Brinsworth WMC. Beebi Del and John Fitzpatrick shared the double billing tonight at this super club. It was my First ever visit; I was well impressed with the smooth running of the evening's events.
Opening the. Show was John Fitzpatrick from Morley; he looked very smart in his stage outfit. John's opening song was, 'How Do You Do', a Matt Monro song. This is John's way of introducing himself to the audience and it works. A Jimmy Justice song followed. There were Elvis songs, some from Julie Rogers, Frank Sinatra's, ‘Sunny Side Of The Street', do you remember that one? Tony Christie songs featured. Daniel Merryweather's 'Red', not many in clubland sings that one. John continued with a Clarence Frogman Henry hit back in the 60's. John finished his first set with Rita McNeil's 'Working Man ‘and left the stage to great ovation..
Next on stage was Beebi Del looking beautiful in a long sequined dress, LTS! Beebi opened her first set with a country song from her new CD. She followed this with the Corrs‘Breathless’; this was followed by a super version of Alexander Burke's, 'Hallelujah'. One new on me tonight was, 'Mysterious Times', a song by, Sash, loved that, Beebi sang one from the show, 'Jekyll and Hyde' which was, 'This Is the Moment', one. For Mr T, 'Xanadu', Beebi always sings this song for me... She has worked on cruise liners, television and still looks very young. There we're quite a few songs from her CD that the members enjoyed. Beebi closed her first set with Lonestar's 'Amazed'. A super show from Beebi Del.
Next was 'BINGO'!!! Some good prizes here but alas not for Pat or Sharon.
John came back for his second set opening with a Back Street Boys song, 'Larger Than Life'. One from the Tremeloes, 'My Little Lady', John’s own version of 'Sex On Fire' went down the proverbial storm as did all his visual comedy.
There was a song for a lady working on the bar, Billy Fury's 'Like I've Never Been Gone'. Gene Pitney's 'I'm Gonna Be Strong'.
I heard it said in the club, ‘John Is An All Round Entertainer’. Matt Monro's 'The Impossible Dream' and 'Who Can I Turn To’ went down really well. John ended his part of the show with Tony Christie's, 'Avenues And Alleyways'. He was called back for an encore and sang a lovely song called, ‘The Second Time’.
The last set from Beebi Del started with 'Could It Be Magic'. Followed by Bette Midler's, 'The Rose’, ‘I’m Alive', (Celine Dion)'. There were lots of dancers on the floor. I think the order given for both artistes was first class. Beebi continued with more of her country music which the members just loved. Human, Proud Mary, Great stuff Beebi.
Thank you to Sally and Martin Lennon for helping with some of the song titles and for introducing me to the club president, Chris Spooner and being very friendly. The concert chairman, Kevin, was excellent and made the artistes feel welcome I found this recently refurbished club to be homely. "I Will Be Back" ...
