Lankykats
I had a mooch up there, tonight. With a couple of friends.
I've never attended before.
Great audience, and bands. All live! Great atmosphere.
I met some fantastic people, and proper instrument players.(unlike myself)
Well done to Bill Hart(Billy Shym) who helps to keep it going.
His enthusiasm is endless.
Has anyone else been up to the Lankykats over the years?
If so, what do you think?

Bennie, Granada: I can't take to that kind of stuff. There's nothing of substance to it.
Listen to 'Best o't Bunch' by the Oldham Tinkers. Recorded in 1972, it's a group playing Lancashire music with meaning and depth.
A very moving album.
And Larry Kearns has the voice of an Angel.

Lankykats are not a band.
Its just the name of the organization..
They have different bands on, all the time.
Not the same bands week in, week out. Four bands on in one night.
All genre's of music. Not, all the same.
Its good

The HRW Lanky Beat Show is up and running again on Thursday 31 March and features Wigan musician Ian Poulson.
His 80s band The Clockwork Lounge concentrated their talents in the recording studio rather than live performances.
Tune in from 7:00 till 8:00 on www.hospitalradiowrightington.co.uk
Host: Bill Hart
Producer: Diane Herring

Thanks for that info, Bill. I Wouldn't have known otherwise.
I'll be glued to the radio
I knew Ian P very well. And, his siblings and parents. We were brought up on the same manor. I've not seen him for a few years though.
I'll drop on him someday and catch up on some great old times growing up on the Lane in the 1960's and 70's

Billy, do you know a fella called Keith Hubbard?
I was told he played lead guitar in a band called Ian and the Rebels.
Not seen him since we were at school together.

Cheers, Billy. But, We don't plan that far ahead
When you get our age, We can only guarantee six months in advance Anything more than that, The Saga and Age Concern premiums will go up Not to mention the Public Liability Insurance

1934granadascruggs,
If I were you I would grab the opportunity being offered to you by Bill,because I am sure you will really enjoy playing at The Unity Club.
On those Thursday evenings,it is a great place,it has a great atmosphere and it always has a great crowd.The audience and fellow musicians give their support and greatly appreciate a live band.

Lankykats are famous for providing 'four live bands for a quid...' and we will always resist increasing our door admission fee of a £1.
People often say we are 'too cheap' and a night out at Lankykats is worth a lot more that!
We say... "we are happy with the way things are and we don't want to change anything." However, if people feel that they would like to tip-up more than £1 on the door (as some people already do) then you are more than welcome to do so. Then again you can always buy more raffle tickets or put your loose change in the charity bucket at the end of the night.
As you know, nobody gets paid at Lankykats where everyone is a willing volunteer and this income funds our state-of-the-art sound equipment and our eight delegated charities.
Either way we will continue to supply you with a happy smiling face at the end of each and every night you spend with us... Rock 'n roll forever...
Billy Lankykat.
