TUES 18TH NOVEMBER
HI EVERYONE'
A VERY BUSY PAST TWO MONTHS WITH MANY GREAT GIGS AND SPREADING THE WORD OF ROCK 'N' ROLL. FINALY OUR
NEW ALBUM IS FINISHED AND WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS' JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS. FOR TRACK LISTING AND
MORE INFO GO TO OUR CD/DVD PAGE. OUR BILLY FURY WEEKEND WAS A GREAT SUCCESS AND WE HAVE A FULL REPORT OF THIS POPULAR WEEKEND
EVENT ON OUR REVIEW PAGE.
THE GOOD NEWS IS DJ NUTTY NEIL AS MANY OF YOU WILL KNOW FROM HEMSBY IS NOW THE REGULAR DJ FOR ALL
BILLY FURY WKDS.
STRAIGHT AFTER THIS PAST BILLY FURY WKD WE HEADED DOWN THE M6/M5 TO BREAN SANDS FOR OUR SPOT
ON YESTERDAY ONCE MORE'S ROCKIN WEEKENDER SHARING THE STAGE WITH 'THE JETS AND 'THE LENNEROCKERS' AND AGAIN THIS PAST WEEKEND
BACK TO BREAN FOR Y'O'M'S 60s WEEKENDER ALSO KIRKHALLAM ROCK N ROLL CLUB AND A NEW ONE FOR US DOWN IN BRISTOL AT BEGBROOK
ROCK 'N' ROLL CLUB. AFTER FINISHING OUR SPOT AT BREAN FOR THE 60s ON SUNDAY WE HEADED NORTH TO BRISTOL NOT KNOWING WHAT TO
EXPECT AT BEGBROOK. IT WAS FANTASTIC. A NICE WELCOME FROM BRENDA AND HER ROCKIN TEAM' A GREAT STAGE' AND A FANTASTIC AUDIENCE
CREATING A BRILLIANT ATMOSPHERE. WE ARE BACK THERE NEXT YEAR AND WE CANT WAIT.

COLIN PAUL AND THE PERSUADERS CALENDARS ARE NOW AVAILABLE BUT AT GIGS ONLY. IF THEY SELL WELL THEN
THEY WILL BE PLACED ONLINE TO PURCHASE BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL BEFORE CHRISTMAS AS WE HAVE A PACKED DECEMBER AND ITS OUR
FAVE TIME OF THE YEAR. WE ARE WORKING ON SOME ROCKIN CHRISTMAS TUNES SO COME ALONG AND SAY HI' YOU NEVER KNOW WE MAY EVEN
BUY YOU A DRINK.
WE NOW HAVE THE BILLY FURY PRINTS AVAILABLE ALL DETAILS ARE ON OUR CD/DVD/MERCHANDISE PAGE.
A 'WARNING' TO ALL OTHER BANDS AND PROMOTERS. THIS YEAR ALONE AFTER TAKING TWO BOOKINGS WE HAVE HAD
A FOLLOW UP CALL TO CANCEL THE GIG LUCKLY WE MANAGED TO FILL THE DATES THEN FIND OUT LATER THAT THEY HAVE'NT CANCELLED
AFTER ALL. SO NOW I WOULD JUST PHONE THE ORIGINAL PROMOTER UP TO CHECK IF ITS TRUE OR NOT.
SOME NASTY SNEAKY JEALOUS PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE WHO LIKE TO DESTROY WHAT OTHER PEOLE HAVE. WE HAVE
SEEN NOW FOR A FEW YEARS THAT PEOPLE DONT SEEM TO WANT TO WORK TOGETHER. THEY WILL OPEN UP THEIR OWN CLUB THINKIN THEY CAN
DO BETTER THEN SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT BY PUTTING ON A GIG IN THE SAME AREA ON THE SAME NIGHT JUST A DIFFRENT CLUB. [THATS
CLEVER] DONT YOU REALIZE YOU PEOPLE THAT IN THE END WE ALL SUFFER BANDS' DJs' CLUBS' ROCK 'N' ROLLERS. LETS WORK TOGETHER
THAT WAY WE CAN ALL ENJOY MANY MORE ROCKIN GIGS.
MORE NEWS SOON AND DETAILS OF A NEW ROCK 'N' ROLL DVD FOR 2009.
