Ricky Graham Leisure Audition, a busy club, four acts and lots of great friends in the building; wow, what a night I had.
The first act on the show was a three piece Rock A Billy Band called ‘The Memphis Cruisers’, all the way from… Leeds. A superb double bass player and lead singer, a great rock and roll guitarist and a super drummer. They opened with a song called, ‘Flying Saucers’ and went on to sin, ‘Folsom Prison Blues, ‘Rock Around The Clock’, and one called,‘Jump Jiving Whale’. The bass player is only 16 and he really can play that double slap bass. A Brilliant opening from The Memphis Cruisers…
Next was ‘Jimmy McLean’ from Baildon he plays a great guitar and boy can he sing. ‘Take It Easy’, an Eagles song, Chris Rea’s, ‘Road To Hell’. I and many others loved his version of Gary Moore’s,‘Parisienne Walkways’, Just brilliant.There were many more from this versatile entertainer, ‘Jimmy McLean…
Milli Simpson from the Morley looked good in a black sequined dress, (Lts).. Milli has a good strong voice and opened with Dion’s, ‘Run Around Sue’; she also sang the songs of Connie Francis, ‘Stupid Cupid’, Petula Clark’s ‘I Couldn’t Live Without Your Love’,Elton John’s, ‘Your Song’ and Adele’s, ‘Make You Feel My Love’. Well done Milli.
The final act was a young lady from Upton, Becky ‘J’; she looked good in a multi coloured dress, Ltb… Becky has good strong voice. In her set she sang a Tavares song, ‘Heaven Must Be Missing Angels’, the O’Jay’s, Love Train’,Jimmy James and the Vagabonds song, ‘I’ll Go Where The Music Takes Me’, The Corrs, ‘Breathless’, There were quite a few more but thank you for singing Mrs.’T’s favourite Status Quo song, ‘Rocking All Over The World’.
Another excellent night at the Willows Social club in sunny Pontefract…
