Abba Tribute Band Perform To A Sell-Out Audience

Abba Stars UK filled the live music slot in October, and filled the venue at the sell-out all-ticket event.

The last Saturday of each month usually features live music from local bands and are free to attend for both members and non-members. The latest event was anticipated to have a large turnout and so a limited number of tickets were made available to help cover the costs and to ensure the capacity was not exceeded. Tribute bands are all the rage and with Abba being one of the biggest and most popular across all age groups, it was no surprise that Abba Stars played to a capacity crowd.

80’s Rewind Disco Night A Hit With Golden Oldies

With thousands of songs available at the press of a button, the hardest part of the job for a DJ nowadays is selecting the right songs for the occasion. The 80’s arguably produced the best new music of any decade, still widely covered by contemporary artists today when short of new ideas.

Tony’s Discotheque provided the equipment and expertise, and kept the hits (officially golden oldie’s now) flowing right to the end, accompanied by lighting effects irresistible to those of us who only need a couple of drinks to show off the dance moves we used to regret the morning after.

For anyone who married in the 80’s it is an ideal theme for an anniversary, and so this event was a fitting backdrop for Martin and Maureen Court’s 34th Wedding Anniversary party.

We are certain there are many other members who married in the 80’s, so we look forward to more boogie nights in the near future. With so many great tunes and an iPad based karaoke catalogue at their disposal, no two nights will ever be the same!

Oldest Member Jim Hart Celebrates 100th Birthday

As colder conditions and icy winds descended on Staines, club staff and members were busy making preparations for a “first” in the club’s history; a party to commemorate the 100th birthday of long standing member Jim Hart, in the knowledge that the weather was never going to delay the arrival of a hardy Newcastle-born ex-military man.

The club laid on a buffet of sandwiches, rolls, marinated chicken skewers, spring rolls and dips, along with a commemorative cake. A helium balloon and specially printed drape formed the backdrop for photo opportunities to commemorate the occasion.

Live music from soloist Bryan Just got everyone including Jim on their feet throughout the evening, with iconic songs covering many of the eras Jim has been privileged to be a part of, whilst we were all very privileged to be in his company for such a special event.

Jim had his birthday officially recognised by the Queen with a traditional telegram in its modern form. He is looking forward to the next one which will be on his 105th birthday.

Annual Barbeque Serves Up Rat-Packed Entertainment

Sunday afternoon at the Staines And District Conservative Club was host to the best entertainment in town, overshaddowing the neglected neighbouring old Town Hall which was once a top music venue.

Club Secretary Howard Holt was on duty to ensure everyone got a good grilling, with quality beef and pork joints expertly carved and served to the queues of eager members and their guests.

Quite Frankly The Best Sinatra

Live music was provided by professional Frank Sinatra tribute act So Sinatra, performed by Paul Holgate who has honed his craft in recent years to become widely regarded as the best in the business.

Not just a great singer with a delivery that is a worthy tribute to the great man himself, but a polished performer who stays in character throughout with added humour and Rat-Pack-era references to keep those with more than a passing appreciation happy. The encore was almost a third set by the time Mr Sinatra was allowed to bring down the final curtain on a memorable afternoon.
