MICKS REVIEW OF 2024 COMMAND SHOW


COMMAND SHOW HELD AT  BAMBER BRIDGE & COUNTY CATHOLIC CLUB.15th NOV.24.
 
The annual Command show was held at this  wonderfull venue for the first time and what a great concert room it was for it,with plenty of room and comfort for all.
The artists involved were hand picked by the  Exec  Comitee and fellow concert secs.
We started off with our ever reliable compere ERIC JONES to introduce first on stage 
This years Male Vocalist  winner the popular ALAN KELLY who is well known in the Preston area who gave us his usual high standard of vocals and banter whom received a smashing ovation ,our second performer was a lovely young Lady the winner of the Female Vocalist prize was JAYCEE what a lovely performance she gave from a mixture of Motown and other chart hits this girl was outstanding and received a great clap of hands and cheers
The next artist was this years.Comedy/vocal winner MR DAVE ROSS "FRAY WIGAN" oh yeah Dave besides having a fine singing voice cracked a load of old and new jokes which truly entertained all of us.
We then had a nice Interval with a Raffle with loads of Bottled Wine & Spirits won.
Last Act of the Evening was A cracking four piece LIVE GROUP (not a backing track in sight)
this years command show selection LA BAMBA, with has the name suggests gave us lots of hits from the 60s and more a very talented set of Four Gentlemen,who went down a bomb.
All in all it was a great "Night Out" which was a near sell out,so thanks must be in order to the wonderful commitee and staff whom kept us all well served at the bar,the caterers whom served some excellent food, Derek Bailey (stage manager) whom controled the outstanding colourfull stage backdrop which kept us informed of all that was going on.Last but by no means least,Thank You to all that attended I hope you all come to NEXT YEARS SHOW..
