August 30th 2007... PHIL LLOYDThe ever popular Phil is always welcome at our club and immediatly on stage developes an excellent rapport with his audience. This together with his excellent vocals and wonderful stories, always brings an enthusiastic responce from our members be it applause or laughter.
Starting tonight with Mearle Haggard's, Branded Man, he continued with Don Williams', I Recall A Gypsy Woman, a hit for Tommy Cash and B.J. Thomas ( not Don ) in the U.S.A. next came a couple of classics, Shadows Of My Mind, a charter for both Vernon Oxford and Leon Everette, and my favourite Rodney Crowell composition, 'Til I Gain Control Again, which was a smash for Bobby Bare, but a chart - topper for Crystal Gayle. Other classic Country songs flowed all night such as George Jones', Wine Coloured Roses, Conway Twitty's, I May Never Get To Heaven, Steve Goodman's, You Never Even Called Me By My Name, a hit for both David Allan Coe and Doug Supernaw, Waylon's, Drinkin' and Dreamin' and Buck Owens', Together Again.
More recent numbers included, Travis Tritt's, Country Club, Clint Black's, Killin' Time, and Alan Jackson's, Livin' On Love.
As always, Phil catered for both line and partner dancers, those who love to listen or join-in, and all who like a joke, all of which contributed to a super show.

As usual for tonight's show, Phil was in fine form with his vocals and storytelling, all of which kept the audience listening, laughing and dancing.
Lots of Classics featured in his concert including, Rambling Fever, What's Made Milwaukee Famous, Mamma Tried, You Win Again etc. etc.
Line and Partner dancers filled the floor to, Cold, Cold Heart, Heartaches By The Number, Don't Close Your Eyes, Singin' The Blues and lots more.
I particularly enjoyed some of the songs not often heard nowadays. Amongst these were the Chris Hillman/ Gram Parsons song, Wheels, Dave Sherriff's, I Couldn't Find The Words To Say Goodbye, George Strait's, When Did you Stop Loving Me, Marty Robbin's, Don't Worry 'Bout Me and Larry Gatlin's, Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall.
With shows like this it's easy to see why he continues to be one of our favourites.

We are always pleased to have Phil at our club as we know we shall have, not only an evening of good old country music, but lots of fun and banter between him and the audience, and tonight was no exception. His songs were particularly chosen for both listeners and dancers; so we had a healthy mix of ballads and up- tempo numbers. The Line dancers responded especially well to Hal Ketchum's ' Tonight We Just Might Fall In Love', Willie and Waylon's ' Good Hearted Woman', Merle's ' Swingin' Doors' and Alan Jackson's ' Don't Rock the Jukebox', amongst others. Partner dancers filled the floor to Ricky Van Shelton's ' I'll Leave This World Loving You', Jack Greene's ' There Goes My Everything', Travis Tritt's ' Country Club' and Gene Watson's ' Farewell Party'. Songs not heard very often in our club included Randy Travis' ( with George Jones) ' A Few Ole Country Boys', Johnny Paycheck's ' Someone To Give My Love To', Hank Williams jnr's, ' Stoned At The Jukebox' Alan Jackson's ' Tonight I Climbed The Wall' and Travis Tritt's ' Here's A Quarter, Call Someone Who Cares', all of which produced an appreciative response from the audience. Once again Phil gave us a super show to maintain and confirm his popularity with our members. Cyril Insley
