Great Gigs

Hi there, three great gigs last week.
The first on Tuesday evening, was Keith and Mikes acoustic unplugged sing along at Lings on Kings Chinese Restaurant in Southport. Hostess Ling creates a buzzing atmosphere, with her personal attention, good service, great food and a helping of great songs sung in her own inimitable style. Keith and Mike played two spots performing songs from Shooter's repertoire and a good sing along evening was had by all. SingalongaLing?
The second gig was a Christmas Party at Mansfield Civic Hall, a fantastic night, Shooter were accompanied by Sharn and the Krystolettes with excerpts from 'The Legend Of The 60s' show. John the DJ got the party going with a 60s fancy dress competition judged by Sharn and Keith, the winner being a Janis Joplin/hippy look alike, followed that by spinning some of the great dance music of the era. Shooter and The Krystolettes took to the stage around 10pm performing a hour plus set receiving two encores. Fabulous night.
The third gig was superb, the band have been really looking forward to this gig, it didn't let them down. The Marketeers Carnival Club held their Christmas Cabaret Show in the Chilton Trinity School Hall, Bridgewater, Somerset, transforming the room into a Vegas style cabaret theatre. Warmly welcomed by show producer Brian Lambert, the band set their gear and being billed to perform at the end of the evening sat back to watch the show. An impressive stage set with excellent lighting bode well. Acting as compare and an act in her own right was the brilliant Jennie Robin, a very funny lady with a good voice to boot. Jennie introduced the opening act, boy and girl illusionists, 'Celtic Storm' their fast moving performance choreographed to the music of Riverdance was impressively effective, then followed Jennie with her own very entertaining set, this signaled the end of the first half of the show. After the interval we were treated to one of Geordielands favourite stand up comedians, 'Kevin Kaye' great stuff. Now it was Shooter's turn, what a fabulous reception, the band will live on that for weeks, Thank you Bridgewater, no more to say.
So on to Christmas, our pre-Christmas blog will feature final details of the content of the new CD.
Keep It Live, see you next week.
