We were expecting a rip-roarer of a night and we were not disappointed, oh my goodness! Kellys Heroes were right on form and right up our street. Very nearly every song had the audience clapping, stomping, and singing along. The night was definitely party night, or should I say, the Craic was mighty!

Inspired song choices coupled with superb musicianship, all lifted on-high by beautifully delivered, authentic vocals, created a magical wave of nostalgia that was impossible to resist. The icing on the cake was the way that Kellys Heroes punctuated the high-energy, rip-roaring tunes and songs, with precisely placed sombre, contemplative Airs. Kellys Heroes, masters of their craft on all levels. I’ve only just got my voice back!!

Mr Dick Woodhouse, the skilful song-master and supporting super-stalwart of the club, took centre-stage to open the evenings festivities. Dick confidently took to the limelight and presented us all with an outstanding half-hour set, comprising of much-loved contemporary classics, sprinkled with a generous portion of Thackray magic.
Mmmm, delicious!

Thanks to MC Chris, who’s brainy and zany tactics, illuminated the entire room, (or was that all those LED lights)?
Thanks to Mr Gary and Mr John for looking through the lenses.

Thanks to the Techy-up and Techy-down teams, and last but not least, a huge thanks to the Ashwood Marina staff and friends for making everyone so welcome.

Enjoy Yourself!
