Revolving Doors


It's all change again, drummer Clive Knowles short stay with the band has come to an end and he has left for pastures new, we wish him well. After a little persuasion Jeff Walker is back, great!
Clive's final gig was at The Mid Point Restaurant in Bradford, nice venue this, authentic Indian restaurant complete with life size decorated Indian elephant statue. The band were performing at a 60s special theme evening in the banqueting suite, good crowd, went well.
Jeff's first gig back with the band, this was at Royton Band Club in Oldham. After being stuck on the M62 for a good hour the band arrived a little late but what an evening. Again this was a 60s special theme night, the audience played their part, dancing and singing along, the atmosphere was electric.

On Saturday afternoon was a gig for MerseyCats, the children's charity, at the St Helens Show, what a show, there was a massive fairground, bouncy castles in abundance, and numerous live stages with performances from all genres of entertainment, all for free, £5 if you were parking your car. Shooter's set, at 2:30pm in bright sunshine, was greeted well, Ricky Gleason and Keith Dodd of the Topspots got up and did a few numbers with the band, great stuff. Also deserving a mention were, The Boogymen, Tempest, and Searchin.
Saturday night and Shooter were at Farnworth Veterans Club in Bolton, another great night, good club, excellent live backing and with a warm welcome from compare John, lively audience and spot on staging, who could ask for more?
With a plan to do a spot at MerseyCats which is held in the Old Roan British Legion Club Aintree, Liverpool on Thursday evening and a gig at Shavington WMC in Crewe on Saturday the band have a busy week, we'll let you know how they get on.
Keep the Beat Rockin' See you next time.
