Sorry to report that the West Of Wales Shadows and Guitar club held its final meeting (in that format) last Saturday, after eight good years. For some time, the club has been changing into more of a general music club, including vocals (though Shads material has regularly been played). It hasn't helped that I moved to Herefordshire, a hundred miles away, so Ken Gilbert & myself took the decision to finish. The club will continue, in a new name, West Wales Guitar and Music Club, and will be run by our good friend Doreen Driscoll. She will be holding meetings on the the second Saturday of each month at a new venue, The Jubilee Center, Newcastle Emlyn. Although the Shadows element has been dropped, and the club will embrace all kinds of music, I know that Shads tunes will still be welcomed there.
