Stockyards Country and Western Club

This is Chester D with my August report from Stockyards CWC, we had Cajun Moon making their first appearance with us and what a great night we had they were brilliant. We had 3 fabulous sets from them, and the audience didn't want them to leave the stage, so they played several encores, thanks lads.
The gunfighters did a fun shoot out, with eye masks on and swapping gun rigs, to which the whole room enjoyed watching, thanks to you all.
During the night one of the cowboys went round with a collection bucket to get treats for our troops out in Afghanistan which £73 was collected and was handed out to Rumworth Hall to go with what they are doing.

Thank you all very much!
Thats all for this now folks, see you on September 11th when we have Fools Gold on stage!

This is Chester with my July report from Stockyards CWC, I'll start by saying that Lynne has stepped down from Stockyards and Gerard & Barbara are now solely running Stockyards CWC and we hope that we can count on your support.

What an entertainer Dave Montana was, we had three fabulous sets from him finishing the night with Garth Brooks favourite 'Friends in Low Places". The guys had a fun shoot out, Lefty and No Hope swapping guns, Rigsi laughed so much I forgot who won, we also had the trilogy which was very well observed.

This is Chester D with my June report from the Stockyards CWC, not many in as usual, but that didn't stop us from enjoying our night, the artist was Paul Martin making his first appearance at the Stockyards, Lefty was at his mischievous best along with our resident DJ Ghosterider.
Our next night is July 10th with another artist making his first visit to our club DAVE MONTANA.

This is Chester D with my report from The Stockyards CWC for May.
What a night we had, altho down in numbers, we had a brilliant night with a new band Next of Kin. The show they put on, more than made up for the low numbers, Next of Kin have a female lead vocalist called Michelle and she has a great voice. One of my particular favourite tracks being the Carrie Underwood song 'I Told You So'. We had DJ Mark standing in for Ghostrider, thanks for doing a great job, also thanks to Rachel for calling the fast-draw (watch-out lads) she did a great job.

Thats all for this now folks see you all next month when we have on stage Mr Paul Martin.

HI Chester D here, not as many in at Stockyards cwc last night, but we still had a good night.
Michigan Duo making their stockyards debut and played good country music, my own favourite was Keith Urban song The River.
D J Ghostrider kept the dancers happy with country music to dance to. The shoot out final was between No Hope and Lefty, with No Hope coming out the winner.

Hi Folks, this is Chester D with my March report from Stockyards CWC. What a night we had! The Smokey Mountain Boys were making their first visit to the club and boy what a show they put on of pure country music. There was a great crowd in making for a great atmosphere, lefty got up to his usual mischief when he put a chair in the middle of the dance floor when the boys played his request, all taken in good fun.
I must say a thank you to the gunfighters for doing an excellent fast draw, of which No Hope came out the winner, with Johnny Reb runner up. Once again the trilogy was well observed, as I've said before is a big part of the western scene.
Thats all for now, see you next month for Michigan Duo.

The crew had booked Katie Rhodes but unfortunately Katie had a very bad cold and was only able to do one set, but fortunately for us had brought some friends of hers with her namely West Ridge and boy what a stand in they were. They did two first class sets plus two encore. It was good to see an artist taking care of their appearance on stage thanks for the night Tom& Dave (West Ridge).
No fast draw tonight but once again a well observed trilogy.

Hi Chester here with my December report from Stockyards. I'm afraid it's only a short report, I'm still a bit jet lagged from my Hols in Las Vegas. There was a good crowd in celebrating the Christmas party, plus Samantha celebrating her 12th birthday. I think most people remember Samantha from being born and have watched her grow from a tiny baby to a blossoming young lady. The shoot out tonight was for The Rodeo Pete Memorial Trophy which was won by Rick the Rebel with Woody a close runner up.

What a night we had at Stockyards. We had Raddings and Taylor on stage
Two of my favourite solo artists, on stage as a duo and boy did it work.
A few blips, but as Alan Jackson says they just got up and sang and enjoyed themselves
and it showed.
DJ Ghostrider was back from his holidays and played good country music, between the artist and
DJ the dance floor was full nearly all night.
There were ten gunfighters in the shoot out with JC coming out the winner.
Once again there was an extremely well observed TRILOGY. I know that I mention this

Chester D here with his monthly report from Stockyards CWC.
Yet another good crowd in Westerners, Dancers, and listeners. This month we had Double Barrel to entertain us and they sure did that, they sang a good mixture of country music both old and modern day country. Tony was singing Crystal Chandeliers telling the story of people throwing beer mats at him for singing that particular song so everyone did, all taken in good spirit. Not many in the shoot out tonight which was won by Lefty with Abilene runner up. Forgive me for saying this but once again a very well obseverved Trilogy which is very much appreciated by the organisers. A message for Montana get well soon after your recent accident from us all at Stockyards. That’s all for now folks till next time.

What a night we had at Stockyards on Saturday. Dave Cash was on top form he did three great sets of pure country music plus two encores. His last song you could have heard a pin drop the words were so moving. Dave was making his first appearance at Stockyards I’m sure it won’t be his last. He did take a bit of stick with the crew and Colin on his buggy with a horse’s head and a tail, even Benny Hill ( Dave the light man) asked Cashy had he seen his cart which made for a good night. Once again the trilogy was very well observed, Teddy Bear won the fast draw with Abilene runner up. That’s all for now folks, keep it Country

What a night it was at stockyards. Donna Wylde was the artist for this month and boy did she put on a show. You could tell why she was voted Best British Female artist; she sang pure country when she did her third encore Sapphire (one of our western ladies) got up on stage and sang with her No one seemed to want to go home the atmosphere was so good. There were 14 gunfighters in the shootout which Little Reb beet Lefty. After the shootout Gerard Barbara & Lyn were called to the floor were they got a full sword salute and a huge round of applause for organizing stockyardss for 5 years. Hears to the next 5 years.
