We played our final gig of 2010 - our most busy and successful year ever - at Lanesfield Royal British Legion Club, where we provided Mick and the punters with a New Year's Eve celebration to remember! The club was packed to capacity for the sold-out gig, and everyone had a wonderful time. The dance floor was kept busy right from the beginning of the night and stayed that way throughout the evening. We all saw in the New Year in traditional fashion, and then we rounded off the night - until the power circuit breakers kicked in, just as Kay was singing the final number! Thank you for your wonderful support, happy New Year to you all, and we'll see you again in June 2011!

We played in the final South Staffordshire Shop Window of 2010, held at Cheslyn Hay Working Men's Club on Sunday 19th December. People struggled in through the snow, so there was a good turn out to enjoy the acts who were strutting their stuff! We were on after the interval and were given the whole second half to perform, so we were able to complete a pretty full set - and even were asked for an encore! Many thanks for that, and also for the bookings that came in. We're sure that Jack would've been pleased with the show.

We played our final "normal" gig of the year at Dudley ExServicemen's Club on Saturday 18th December, where we have been receiving a very warm welcome for many years now. It was -10 degrees outside the club, and the snow was deep... We managed to turn up as did a number of trusty punters from the club, so we played a special "requests" gig, and everyone seemed to have an excellent time. Many thanks to those who turned out to support us, and a very big thanks to all the strong guys who helped get Bimal's car out of the snow, and moving again - especially Jock! We'll see you all again next year with better weather and a host of brand new songs, which we're sure you'll enjoy!

We returned to Cradley Heath Liberal Club for our third visit of the year on Sunday 5th December, where we received a very warm welcome from Paul and the punters, despite the weather being extremely cold outside. We were delighted with the enthusiastic response to our performances, even though Kay was suffering with quite severe problems with her voice. The warmth from the audience easily made us feel better, so thanks for that, and we'll look forward to seeing you all again next year, when it will be warmer outside!

We returned to Rowley & Blackheath Labour Club on Saturday 27th November for a packed evening, that saw all of the club awards being presented in a mammoth presentation spot between our sets! Congratulations to all of the winners, and especially the amazing Tolley family! Our sets went down really well, as usual, and the dance floor saw plenty of action, whilst a lot of the punters were just happy to groove in their seats - yeah, we saw you! Thanks to everyone for a brilliant evening and we'll see you all again in June 2011!

We played our debut gig at the Forty Four Club on Saturday 20th November and received a wonderful warm welcome from everyone! They clearly enjoyed the range of material, and applauded generously!

We played a return visit to the H.D.A. Sports & Social Club on Friday 19th November to help them celebrate their winners in the highly competitive skittles matches.

The dance floor was packed all evening, and happily there was something for everyone! We'll hope to see you all again in the not-too-distant future!

We returned to Harrisons Sports & Social Club for our second visit on Saturday 13th November, having been there previously during the 2010 World Cup.

Thanks for the great reception and we'll look forward to seeing you all again next year!

We returned to Netherton Liberal Club for our second visit of the year on Saturday 6th November, and received the very warm welcome that we have come to expect from this friendly club.

We'll look forward to seeing you all again next year!

We played a special gig at Kinver Constitutional Club on Friday 5th November - it was their special annual Bonfire Party, and we were delighted to be able to play to all of the punters who had turned out to see the awesome firework display, despite the steady rain, that continued until everything had ended: typical! Never the less, everyone seemed to have had a very enjoyable evening, with people dancing around with the umbrellas and enjoying the music! Please bear in mind that we're performing on a lorry trailor, and Gill had to take the photos in pouring rain and very cold temperatures!

We played our second gig of the year at Leek Working Men's Conservative Club on Saturday 30th October, with a Halloween influence and even some unplanned gremlins, but everyone had a great time. The material went down really well, as usual, and the dance floor was kept busy all night long! Many thanks to all of the enthusiastic dancers, and we'll look forward to seeing you again next year! Gill video-recorded the gig so we might get some new YouTube videos from the footage, but until then, here are some stills to enjoy!

We returned to Gornal & Sedgley Labour Club on Saturday 23rd October for our second gig of the year, and the first one since we were presented with our Best Trio Award from Midlands Counties.

The new songs were well appreciated, and we'll look forward to seeing you all again next year, with more surprises!

Here are a selection of photos which Gill took during the Midlands Counties Clubs Awards Evening on Thursday 21st October at Quarry Bank Labour Club, when we won the award for Best Trio 2010!

Thanks to you all for the continuing support, and we'll look forward to seeing you all again in 2011!

We returned to Ashwood Social Club on Saturday 9th October, and were greeted with an even more enthusiastic welcome than we received when we played our debut gig for them! We included several different songs to vary the sets, and these seemed to go down really well. The dance floor was crowded for the whole evening, and for most of the time, it appeared that almost everyone was dancing! Thank you all for your fantastic welcome and support, and for the wonderfully kind and generous compliments paid during and after the show! We'll be seeing you again next year, complete with as many of your requests as we can rehearse in time!

We made a return visit to Springfield Social Club on Saturday 2nd October, where we were greeted by the usual enthusiastic crowds, who clearly enjoyed the range of songs we performed - especially the new additions to our sets. The dance floor saw plenty of action, and we played the obligatory encores as well. Thanks for the excellent welcome, and we'll look forward to seeing you all again next year! Our apologies for the quality of the photos this time - they look pretty grainy because we still need a more powerful flash gun, and are hoping that Father Christmas might sort it for us this year! ;-)

We returned to one of our regular venues on Saturday 25th September, when we played at Dudley ExServicemen's Club. As always, Jock and the punters gave us a warm welcome, and our third set, filled with rock classics, received a very enthusiastic reception! Thanks for that, and many thanks for the continued support over the years! We'll see you again next year with more of your favourite rock tracks!

We returned to Pattingham Working Men's Club on Friday 17th September, where we were honoured to take part in a special annual charity even, raising money for three deserving charities.

We returned to Weston Coyney Private Social Club, in association with Diamond Entertainments, on Saturday 11th September, and were greeted with a packed and very enthusiastic club!

We were honoured to be asked to play at Sandra's extra special birthday party on Saturday 4th September, which we happily did. The whole event went really well, and John provided additional music when the band wasn't performing - he was able to work magic with the decks! Thanks to everyone who helped to give Sandra a birthday to remember!

We made our first visit of the year to Kinver Constitutional Club on Saturday 28th August, and were greeted with a wonderfully enthusiastic crowd.

We returned to Redstone Social Club in Stourport-On-Severn on 14th August, and were delighted with the rapturous reception we received from the crowds!

We returned to the Lanesfield Royal British Legion Club on Saturday 24th July for the first time in 2010, after our successful debut last year.

We made a return to Catshill Social Club for the first time this year on Saturday 3rd July, where we received a fantastic welcome as usual.

Thanks for the fantastic welcome and responses: we'll be back with more goodies in November!

We played our first 2010 booking for Gornal & Sedgley Labour Club on Saturday 20th March, just a couple of days after Kay had had keyhole surgery to correct a problem with her knee, which had been giving her problems for quite a while.
