Fab Forties Fun!

We had a great time at Steve’s birthday party, thanks Jean, for inviting us to entertain you and your friends! They had a forties theme, which fit us very well!

And here’s a little video..

Put it in your diaries!

Yes! At last we’ve managed to arrange a gig in Cardiff, for our Cardiff friends! It’ll be on Saturday, 11th Feb, 2023 in St Mary’s hall in Canton, further details and tickets nearer the date.

And for our Bristol friends? Well, we’re in Resound on Blackhorse Road on the night before, the 10th Feb.

Something for everyone!

Good Times!

A great time was had by all last Saturday, at the Westonbirt volunteers’ summer party.

Luckily the weather was kind to us, and everyone had the choice of sitting under cover with the band, or outside in the sunshine

“Room 10 take a bow, an excellent performance and everybody was very complimentary”
“aren’t they amazing!”

Thank you for having us!

Another recce…

…..this time for a gig in the National Arboretum in Westonbirt, for the volunteers.

Oh! Is this for us?!

Sadly no…it’s for Rag’n’Bone Man, playing there tonight! And Keane on Friday, Madness on Saturday, and Texas on Sunday…we’re in good company!

The Great Oak Hall

We’ll be in the Great Oak Hall, weather permitting.

It’s a gorgeous space!

We’re so lucky, getting a chance to play in such interesting and gorgeous places! Last week a beautiful village green, in a couple of weeks time a stunning oak hall.

Rain didn’t stop play…well, maybe curtailed it a little…!

What a fab time we had this afternoon in Almondsbury! But the heavens opened during our set, which was a real shame, after such a promising forecast. Still, it didn’t stop me dancing in the rain, during the fab instrumentals!

Here are some pics from the afternoon, hopefully more to come.

The crowd’s building up….
I’ve got my rig in, everyone’s working hard!
Nearly ready
Ready for a sound check?
Such a lovely audience! 🥰
Uh oh…the rain’s on…!

Last rehearsal before Almondsbury!

It’s this Friday! So if you’re wondering what to do on the holiday weekend, why not come to this beautiful village and have a fab time!

Not only us there, the Semitones are playing as well, other musical items too, and an airplane display! What’s not to like!

And free admission…but bring plenty of cash for the stalls!

Two new members! Well…..

Hello to Shan and Andrew! Ok, I know they came along last week, but it wasn’t a vocals night, so I wasn’t there!

So…are we expanding? Well, we have a booking for a gig in July, in Westonbirt, but unfortunately two of our regular musicians aren’t available, so Andrew and Shan were asked to step in, and they kindly agreed!

They did brilliantly tonight, especially as we were missing three of our regular musicians, for various reasons. So many of our numbers were a bit…empty. With holes, where the other parts should be! Still, if they can cope with that, they can cope with anything….

Concentrating…so much to learn…!

What a night!

A great time was had by all last night in Later@Resound, including us! So wonderful to be entertaining an audience again, we’ve really missed it.

In fact, it was such a success, we’ve been asked back next year! I fancy a Valentine’s Day ball, how about you?

I’ve compiled some of the pics and videos here, enjoy!

Sound check done….

All welcome!

Our gig is a week today, and we’re all getting excited!

Friends often say “I’d love to hear you!” …so here’s your chance!

Only 50 minutes from Cardiff, much less from Bristol, of course, Resound is a fab venue – professional sound and lighting, just a token entrance fee (pay at the door) and BYOB, so a cheap night out…what’s not to love?! I might even have space in my car for a couple of local friends!

Don’t forget your dancing shoes!
