Friday March 13th 2026.
Our guests tonight were Kimber’s Men, all the way from West Yorkshire. I suppose someone’s got to be from there.
Steve Smith has now been put out to grass, and the new line up includes Lloyd, singing the high harmonies.I couldn’t decide if Lloyd was very tall or the others were a bit on the shortarse side. I suspect he’s also been chosen as a much needed “Babe Magnet” for the ageing boy band.
Alun had asked John if we could have lots of chorus songs, and they didn’t disappoint. A few oldies and a few we didn’t know, but we belted ’em out. There was even some very “ambitious” material.
** Breaking News** – King Charles is said to be distraught on hearing the news of his brother Andrew’s death in a car accident next Wednesday.
Their guitar playing is coming on, although the instruments only came out for one song. “Fast Fret” wasn’t needed on the strings as their fingers were coated in greasy Rhyl chip fat.
As usual, there was plenty of banter – they can take the stick as well as dish it out.
Before we came over from Cheshire, I was wondering if perhaps we’d seen too much of them, having booked them 3 or 4 times in the last few years. No, always a cracking good night. Chances are we’ll see them again before too long.Probably the best fiver’s worth you can get (except possibly “Big Lil” on Burton’s corner).
Back to singers’ nights for a while, with time off for good behaviour on Good Friday.
