Congratulations to the Woodman audience old, new, and well-travelled! You all know when you are going to have a great time, so you showed up in force and by golly you were not wrong! Tonight, the wonderful Anthony John Clarke put on a show that brought the packed house down. Joined on stage and aided and abetted by Julia Porter, Derry Jones, Deb Jones, and Busby, and even a bit of Lost Notes, I think we can safely say that the show was enthusiastically received, resulting in a resounding success.

AJC’s performance skills and wit were focused fairly and squarely on the multiple funny-bones of a full house that was packed to the rafters, and he showed no mercy! Urged on by the fact that it was also a very special party, celebrating the lovely Deb’s milestone birthday, both AJ and Julia pulled out all the stops! My goodness, it was an outstanding performance!

Starting the most excellent night of fun and festivities, was the inimitable Nothing to Prove 3.0. Playing a mini smorgasbord of self-penned, popular, and funny covers, NTP 3.0 provided the opening salvo of musical misbehaving that was to continue for the length of the whole glorious night.

Thanks also to MC Bryn for his immaculate and much treasured time-management skills. Massive thanks to techy up and techy down teams. Thanks to Mr Gary and Mr John for all their outstanding efforts on all things AV. A special thanks goes to Mr Dick Woodhouse for stepping up to be the Sound Man for the night. Nice one Dick.

As always there would be no such festivities if it were not for the outstand support of the Ashwood Marina and all its staff and customers. We could not do this without all of you helping us so much!

Enjoy Yourself!
