Superb entertainment and nearly £2000 raised for Kids of Bolton Charity
After having a nightmare start with a band pulling out through illness and the 2pm band making a no show we finally got some good news that Shredder would come down and fill one of the later slots. So we kicked of at 4 with SKP. As you will all know SKP are a very talented and entertaining band who always seem to be on top form. Scott Karen and Paul gave a great performance and really got the day moving.
The Barbershop Boys then gave us something completely different with items from Queen and Lady Ga Ga among others in their unique syle . Another great performance which went down really well.
Next up The Jade Assembly an originals band from Bolton. I can safely say that their music and performance was superb. These guys could go far. The songs they performed sounded like you knew them as classics even though you had never heard them before. A sign in my mind of quality songwritng. I thoroughly recommentd you catch up with this band if you can
A 40 minute spot from Beaumont regular Ricky followed. He produced hit after hit of Neil Daimond classics again a great performance and entertainment for everone.
Shredder next up and the highlight of the day for me. What an amazing duo and Johns guitar playing just blew everyone away. See my other blog for a more detailed review but this was some performance and will be talked about in the Beaumont for a long time
Idle promise then finished the night off.
The pub was packed the bar ran out of Carling Kronenberg Becks and Stella which says it all really
Although the final figure is not yet in we expect ift to be close to £2000 which is fantastic.
Thanks to Graham and Julie for hosting the event and to Graham Ste (Johnny Meerkat) and Tex off NWB for coming over to support it
But finally a great big thanks to all the bands for giving their time and making this a day no one will forget for a long time
