The Willow Social Club on Baghill Lane, Pontefract is where the Ricky Graham Leisure Entertainment Agency hold their monthly audition nights; it is usually the last Thursday of each month. This Thursday I saw 4 acts. The first was a 6 piece band called,’ A Little Something Different’; this was made up with an elderly lady on keyboards and lead singer, two guitars, (lead and Rhythm), a bass guitar, a drummer and a maracas player. Some of their songs were, ‘River Deep, Mountain High’, ‘Gimme Some Lovin’,’My Heart Will Go On’ and ‘Rocking All Over The World’. If nothing else they entertained the audience...Good for you lady and guys...
Next was a young man from Keighley called John Michael; he has a good voice with a good range, was dressed casually smart and a good sound system; some of his songs were, ‘Higher And Higher’, ‘Human’, ‘You Gave Me A Mountain’ and a rap song called, ‘Angel’ by Shaggy. A very good set…
Next up was an attractive two girl’s duo called, “Candi Bliss” ,(Phillipa and Ann).They were dressed in a type of leotard, stockings and suspenders, a la Madonna (I think). Anyway there were two good voices and the harmonies were very good. Jesse J’s ‘Price Tag’, Rhiannon’s ‘Without Love’, a couple of Motown songs and finishing with the Noisettes, ‘Never Forget You’. A great mix of songs and good introductions to their songs too. I really enjoyed their set…
The final act was another young man from Keighley; Ryan Williams, he was very smartly dressed, he has a good strong voice and good sound equipment. Some of his well chosen songs were, ‘All Time Low’ by the Wanted, ’Ed Sheeran’s ‘The A Team’ and Roy Orbison’s, ‘Pretty Woman’. Another good set. It was good to see a few clubland entertainers in the room having a good night out… I enjoyed it too…
