KARAOKE NIGHT!

Friday 12th May
MUSIC NIGHT! Again at
last!
It's always unique, always an experience to be savoured, treasured, brought out again and inspected, compared, chuckled over, commiserated with, full of aplomb, bonhomie and even good humour, and we note sometimes the odd redundant phrase, song and spasm is often inserted to trap the unwary, who might think these evenings are entirely unrehearsed.
Entry for non-entertainers is only £1.00 and we're happy to find reasons for concessionary tickets of only 50p. Of course, if you can do a number, a turn, a party-piece for us at the front, you're very welcome and we won't charge you a penny!

The
Pierre Schryer Band
We present our review of
Pierre's visit here last year, and with the link above to his website in
Canada, there's not a whole lot more to say, really, except
that it's going to be a great night! Brilliant fun for all
the family to enjoy.
With the famous NMN fully
licensed bar, of course, for the best cask-conditioned ale
in the village, and all manner of other refreshments.
Tickets are only
£6.00 or £3.00 concessions, for this super weekend
show.
Booking is advised: (01434) 685047

SPECIAL MUSIC
NIGHT!
(Liz Law & Terry
Conway)
Local Superstars in
Allendale
It's been well over a year since Terry Conway and Liz Law had a night of their own on the local stage (reviewed), and their fans have been clamouring for a return engagement for some time.
With a bundle of new material, this engaging duo features Terry's inimitable songs, sparkling delivery and accomplished guitar with Liz's effervescent Appalachian dulcimer accompaniment.
It will be an evening sure to delight those who like the best quality of traditional music, honed in the local idiom, and polished to a burnished glow in clubs up and down the country.
Terry Conway is, and always has been, the veritable musical heart of the Northumbrian Music Nights venture in Allendale, and it's a special delight to welcome him back with Liz Law to perform on the intimate stage of the King's Head, on Friday the 26th of May.
The harmonies won't get much better, nor will the feelings run much deeper, as when some of the original local favourites are performed again. This is music with Northumbrian soul and passion expressed as you'd expect with great subtlety and with exquisite refinement. with possibly a few favoured performances from the floor. Lovely, intimate and fun!

THE SNAKE DAVIS
BAND!
There's not a lot we can
say, that we haven't said already, about the biggest, best
and our most favourite of all times band ever to grace any
stage in Allendale, (last year's show
reviewed) except to say
that tickets are going incredibly quickly, and if you don't
book, you could well be disappointed. Tickets do not
guarantee seats, of course, though we'll do our best to
accommodate everybody. But we expect the village hall to be
heaving, on Sunday night, and the surround-sound will be so
lush, so magnificent, and the saxophone so special, the
Hammond organ so superlative, and the accompanying guitars
so solidly brilliant, that it'll be a delight to listen in
whatever position you find yourself.
