The Last Amazing MEG 60's Night!

Saturday May 10th 2008

Once again we are looking forward to a fantastic night featuring a well known band that has been to us before The Dreamers and a band that everybody has told us that is one of the best on the circuit that has been seen for many a year, the group is THE NEW AMEN CORNER, so we are anticipating a fantastic evening.

7.30 and the crowd is starting to come in and being warmed up by our resident DJ Terry Vickers with his usual array of 60’s music.

First up we have the ever popular Dreamers with their Liverpool sound mixed with their comedy renditions, this group has always been well received by our audiences, they give us a very good mix of their own music Beatles songs and other legendary groups, then it was time for their speciality song as they started to sing an old Ronnie Hilton song “I Saw A Mouse”, as several members of the group came down to the floor out from behind the stage came the biggest mouse I and the rest of the audience has ever seen but then it was time for them to finish off their act they left the stage to rapturous applause.

Then it was time for Terry Vickers to entertain the audience once again as they were allowed to take a well-earned breather from what was the best part of an hour of dancing and get themselves refreshed for what was to come next.

Now was the time whether we had heared correct about this next group as out on the stage came The New Amen Corner, dressed in only what can be described as reminiscent of The Beatles sgt peppers lonely hearts band, but as soon as the singer started, you could tell we were in for one of the best evenings entertainment in a long time as all we had heard about them was true as we were entertained to a varied amount of songs from 60’s & 70’s. To say the dancefloor was crowded would be an understatement as there was barely anybody sat at the tables, many of us can remember the original Amen Corner with the great lead singer Andy Fearweather-Lowe but this new group did not disgrace the name with great renditions of Lazy Sunday Afternoon & Itchy-Coo-Park to name but a few, this group proved to be so popular we’ve re-booked them for October next year, once again it was time for them to leave but not before they gave us what I can only describe as one of the longest encores I've ever heard.

This just left the evening to be rounded of by our resident DJ Terry Vickers as some of the crowd started to drift their weary way home but as always the die hards stayed to the very end not wanting to miss another second of another great 60’s evening.

See you all again in October when will have the legendary Love Affair & the brilliant Merseybeat Legends
