Happy Birthday Mike Linskey.
Alverthorpe WMC was the place to be tonight; its Mike's 70th birthday party. The actual date was on Tuesday 17th. To help with the celebrations, on stage were local bands, Big Time Charlie, and the Scratch Band. Well the club was very busy and Mike is a very popular man on the circuit.
Big Time Charlie opened proceedings with a song called, 'I've Been Locked Out Of Heaven'. I didn't know it but it sounded ok. One by the Scissor Sisters'. 'Hey Soul Sister', there was an Andrew Gold song called, 'Lonely Boy', On stage next it's the man himself, Mike Linskey, he sang Queen’s, ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love'. Stan 'The Man' was up next to sing a Robert Palmer song, 'Doctor Doctor', for which he gets 9/10, he didn't have a tie on. The band ended their first set with the Killers song, 'Human'. They didn't sing Agadoo though.
Next on stage it's The Scratch Band who opened with Creedence Clearwater Revival’s, 'Have You Ever Seen The Rain', good harmonies in this opener, the next song was, 'The Breeze', a Beatles hit song was next, 'Nowhere Man', sung by Stephen Mounsey, Next was, 'Born To Be Blue', this was sung, on the night by Mick Larrad. There were lots of others that made the night.
The last song we heard was the Johnny Cash song, ‘Folsom Prison Blues’. This was performed by the Scratch band plus Mike Linskey... It was good to see some of Mike's Biker friends here tonight....
Pat and I had a good night with Mike and his guests and thank him for asking us.
