'Lack of Talent' Evening
Disappoints no-one...
Written by: Bob 'Ten Thumbs' Heard
The squash club hosted a very successful "Lack of Talent" Music Night on Saturday 26 November with it's own newly formed group, "THE AVERAGE WRIST BAND", turning out to be anything but average! Popular opinion from the 40 or so people who attended was that the night proved to be great fun, with good food and (surprisingly) good music. Dave Stamp was also happy with the healthy bar takings. Songs ranged from 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door', through 'Summer of 69' to the favourite, 'Johnny B Goode'.
Go on, press 'Play'.
An audience Song Book enabled the occasional group sing-along, and even encouraged a few hardy souls to venture to the front and join in on lead vocals.
At one stage the drummer, Bob Powell, donned a Gorilla Suit for the Phil Collins/Cadbury Chocolate hit, 'In the Air Tonight'... apparently Bob's wife Glynis wants to keep the suit and send Bob back to the hire shop!
Other band members were Paul Austin (Bass and Keyboard), Tim Westall (Lead Guitar), Bob Heard and his brother-in-law Barry McDonagh (Acoustic/Rhythm Guitars) and Jerry Gray (Vocals).
The band's appearance fee has apparently now been doubled to a dollar, but you had better get in quick if you want to book them for your own special event; there'a a rogues gallery below to see what you might get if you give a buck...
