Did you play at The Legendary Star Inn Folk Club between January 1976 and January 1997? From my (extensive) records I have identified no fewer than 170 solo artistes, 45 duos and 93 bands who guested there over 22 years. (not to mention the scores, possibly hundreds, who 'did a spot' and whose names were never recorded!) My aim is to make contact with as many of them as possible, with a view to a reunion Apart from being interested to hear from everyone I am organising a concert 'A NIGHT AT THE STAR' at St Boniface's Social Club in Broughton, on SATURDAY 20th OCTOBER 2012.* Of course, it would be impossible to accommodate everyone on one night, and I'm hoping that, from those who come forward, there may be enough to stage a series of concerts over the coming months. ('A Night At The MSG' - a concert we organised last year - raised significant amounts of money and resulted in a great night of nostalgia, and produced a CD of performances and reminiscences from those who appeared on the night. - copies available)) SO: If you are one of the 300+ acts on my list, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH OR, if you know the whereabouts of ANY of the guests, please encourage THEM to do the same. I am happy to take calls on 07760 430 577 or receive messages on mgittins@ntlworld.com As well as the guests, I want to collect any reminiscences about The Star from audience members and guests alike, with the intention of producing a booklet (as we did with the MSG) THANKS, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT RESPONSE!! *The purpose of the concerts is to raise much-needed funds for my great nephew, who has a serious chest condition and is seeking treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Chicago.
