N I Shadows Club May Report
Another very,very busy day, with again several more new faces.
The day started off as usual with the "House" band of Jim,George,Chris,Hall
and Des,with Jim and George sharing the lead. Chris then featured keyboard
on Telstar and Time is tight.
The first half continued with two tunes each from Simon,Eric,Bernard,
John B,Philip,Jim B,Sam,Paul and Brian,with David taking over bass duties
on some numbers and Mike likewise on rhythm.
The interval was graced with a few acoustic numbers from John Davis and
friend,- international recording artist,singer - song writer Bap Kennedy.
This went down well and was greatly appreciated,- we might let them back!!
The second half started with Stanleys' set and was followed by another guest,
Chris Braniff,- yet another teenager and accomplished player. The rest of the
second half followed the pattern of the first.
We do however have a problem in that we ran over time yet again. With such a
large playlist we need to try for better efficiency while not affecting the
relaxed atmosphere of the club.
The playlist is posted on the notice board and everyone should know in advance
when they are due to play and should be tuned and ready to go,- in this way we
can get the maximum value out of the day.
Many thanks to BJ and Noel for providing a good PA in the knowlege Bap was
appearing,and spare a thought for Hall who played drums for almost four hours.
Untill next time,- Sunday 6th June.
Des.
