Wow, another great night! Thanx to everybody who made the effort to turn up on what was a freeezing cold evening for a fab night of entertainment!
Bernie put on a fantastic show (as he always does!) playing exactly the right mix of sounds plus a few non Locarno requests towards the end (nothing wrong with a nice bit of Jam!).
Phase One, a very competant band in which our very own Russ Thompson plays the drums, put on a couple of great sets, playing a varied and interesting mix of hits from the sixties, certainly adding a new dimension to the Locarno theme- you can't beat a bit of live music can you! Brilliant!
Guest of honour was Bob Shaw and his wife Val, who came all the way up from Yeovil. Bob, as you probably know, had a nasty tumble on his scoot on the way to the IOW, and we were all extremely pleased to see him! Thankfully he's well on the way to a full recovery. Well done Bob!
Here's a few pics ( I've been told by someone not to post their pics!)-

There you are, Rich!! More pics will be added soon!
Special thanx must go to Graham, for organising the venue (not forgetting all the staff at St. Bernadettes OBRC), Russ and Phase One bandmates- Tony Bartlett (lead guitar), Dave Rogers (Bass) and Simon Thompson (Rhythm), Bernie, of course for spinning the discs, and everybody who turned up (too many to name) and made the night a success- a big THANK YOU to you all!
Cheerz, Jim (So when's the next one?)
