Rockin Grandad

Hi All, Shooter enjoyed a great month of May, we must congratulate Shooter lead guitar and vocalist Keith Hubbard on the birth of his grand daughter Amelia, Keith is now a doting grandpa. Bass player Mike celebrated his daughter Jess's 21st birthday with a party for friends and family at the family home and by buying her a new electro acoustic guitar.
The band have had brilliant gigs first of which was at Newton Hall Caravan Park on the outskirts of Blackpool. the concert room was busy and the audience very enthusiastic, a really good time was had by all.
Next up was the yearly visit to Rylands Sports and Social Club in Warrington, never a let down this club, good atmosphere, love their Rock 'n' Roll.
Following Rylands was a wonderful gig at the 49Th National Rally for the wagoners section of The Camping and Caravan Club of Great Britain. Held at the Driffield Showground in the East Riding of Yorkshire, it was all good hospitality with a warm Yorkshire welcome. Organiser Dennis Rowley did the band proud keeping them in good supply of refreshment while hosting the evening and what an evening it was. The dance floor was heaving and although booked to perform two three quarter hour sets, Shooter ended up playing for over two and a half hours. they couldn't get off the stage, Quote from Dennis Rowley;...Hia Keith, Thanks for a brilliant night everybody enjoyed it, hope to see you again before to long, again thanks for a great night. DennisR... Knockout!
Bank holiday Monday saw Shooter return for this years second trip to Seacroft Holiday Centre in Hemsby by Great Yarmouth; although a long trip to the far reaches of Norfolk, this is one of the bands favourite gigs and the welcome always makes the journey worth while. With again a full dance floor and enthusiastic reception Shooter look forward to their next visit to Seacroft in September.
Shooter have a gig at another holiday site this week Astle Park Caravan Club. Situated in the depths of Cheshire close to the Jodrell Bank Observatory, the gig is in a marquee and the band are are hoping for good weather and another great night.
