Subject: RE: The Future of Folk Clubs
I saw Tom Jones live in Birmingham in 1966 in a nightclub with his band and they were superb. I got a bit fed up of women who couldn't throw their smelly knickers far enough and finished on my head (I was in the front row of tables. That will teach me. LOL
Last year I did something I was very proud about. I booked a stretch Limo that took my Dad who was 90 and my mother who was 89 with carers, from Lincoln to Birmingham NEC to see Shirley Bassey live (front row). They didn't want to go, but when they came back they were raving about the whole event. My Dad went so far as to say that it was the best thing that had happened in his life (My mom wasn't too pleased LOL). Sadly he died 2 months later. Very spooky.

I want to get Billy Conolly to Faldingworth!!!!!! Maybe if I get to 90 Spooky.
