The Solo Artiste

Miss Jayne Curry (Lancashire Lass)

A terrific female vocalist, and a great entertainer, was totally bowled over by the reception she received from the Celts in the RCH audience, and hopes to return to entertain us at a future 'Rally'.

You could not fail to enjoy her versatile style of musical talent, from opera to pop. She really had the 'WOW' factor.

Final act of the evening was...

The PlayBhoys

The last act of the evening was 'ThePlaybhoys'

They played an excellent selection of the Irish traditional music we all know and love to sing-a-long with including 'The Fields of Athenry'.

IVY LEAGUE
UK vocal harmony group '60s, formed by songwriters John Carter (John Shakespeare) and Ken Lewis (James Hawker) (both b '42, Birmingham). Carter-Lewis and the Southerners made BBC radio appearances, had hit "Your Momma's Out Of Town' '63, once incl. guitarist Jimmy Page; then linked with another singer- songwriter, Perry Ford (b Bryan Pugh, '40, Lincoln), specialised in vocal backings to order (e.g. on the the Who's "Can't Explain') before making own discs on Picadilly label. Scored three UK hits '65 in close-harmony style reminiscent of the Four Seasons: "Funny How Love Can Be', "That's Why I'm Crying', "Tossing And Turning'. LP This Is The Ivy League '65 Dylan's "Don't Think Twice It's All Right' as well as originals.

These guys had the audience dancing in the aisles, and singing-along with the golden oldies of the sixties (cover versions to the younger members of the audience) and some music of today...something for everyone.
