Ricky Graham Auditions at the Willows club in Pontefract was well attended tonight; there were three acts auditioning. Lots of friends were there; John and Sharon Fitzpatrick, Graham
Sowrey, (Big G), Christina Myers and her family, Paul, The Pocket Rocket, (He makes me feel taller). And many others.
The first act on stage was a band called The Prophecy, from Sheffield. They looked good in their stage outfits. Duran Duran, were featured as were Culture Club Stevie Wonder and Tears
For Fears. I love the 80’s music. The line up is, Phil on bass guitar and harmony vocals, Darren on lead vocals and Steve on keyboards and harmony vocals. The song I liked best was, Culture Club’s, ‘Do You Really Want To Hurt Me’, I’ve not heard that for many years.
Next up was Dewsbury singer, (Appearing as Paul Heaton from the Beautiful South and the House Martins), Graham Stevens. He even dresses the part; Graham has just the right voice for his tribute to Paul Heaton. Some of his songs were, ‘Song For Whoever’, (I always thought this song was called I Love You From The Bottom Of My Pencil Case). There was,‘I’ll Sail This
Ship Alone’, and another not heard for a long time, ‘Happy Hour’.
Last but not least was a trio from Hull called Tinsel Town; this trio is made up of Jean, Steve and Jan.They looked very smart in their stage outfits. There were some well chosen songs in their from different eras. They opened with an impressive version of Michael Buble’s, ‘Hollywood’, the harmonies and choreograph were very good. Take That’s, ‘Rule The World'. I particularly liked the medley of The Walker Brothers song,‘The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore’ and The Ronettes, ‘Be My Baby’. For an encore they surprised me with a Robbie Williams version of ‘Angels’ in the style of Elvis Presley.
There were lots more songs from all three acts tonight; a good night of entertainment from, The Prophecy, Graham Stevens and Tinsel Town…
