WSGC MEETING 03:FEB:2020 REVIEW
Warwick Shadows Guitar Club
Sunday 3rd February 2020
A very well attended first meeting of the New Year and a fitting start to the new decade for the Club. It was great to see all the familiar faces back again for a very packed and hugely enjoyable session. The level of playing by everyone was one of the best yet and much appreciated by all. After a well conducted and organised AGM it as straight down to business with Shazam kicking off in their customary fine style. Please see the playlist below.
A big thanks to all those players who stepped forward to play in the live band sessions (Bob Goulding on rhythm, George on drums, Dave Laine on vocals and bass, Keith and James on rhythm and bass, Ken Adams on vocals, Jenny on keyboards, and of course Ian McCutcheon on lead). A big thanks also to Joy and all those who gave us the lovely buffet lunch and helped out with the general organising and to Roger Dyke and Ian Johnson for managing the sound desk, the playing schedules and MC duties.

CHRISTMAS MEETING 15:DEC:2019 REVIEW
Warwick Shadows Guitar Club
Sunday 15th December 2019
After a quiet start to this special pre-Christmas gathering a few members arrived early, they brought heavy equipment i.e. amplifiers, speakers, drum kits, guitar echo units and considerable amounts of cable necessary for such an event. Others brought boxes of tasty goods, food for the afternoons buffet. The clubhouse was well prepared for such a festive occasion with its large Christmas tree fronting the stage backdrop.
Sadly, some of our key members had reported in ill and we sent them our best wishes for a speedy return to good health.
The band were soon up and playing, entertaining the now increasing numbers of members and spectators, the music played was to a very high standard and so much appreciated by all onlookers.
The wonderful buffet prepared by our ladies had a large Christmas cake as its centre piece, generously donated by Mel & Margaret Addison
After a fabulous afternoon of great music, all were entertained by a local magician before our Chairman Ian McCutcheon closed proceedings thanking everyone who had worked so hard making the afternoon possible, he mentioned Jason and Roger on the sound desk, Ron, for hauling and playing drums, David Laine and Bob Golding for their huge contribution and everyone involved with the afternoon success.
Ian wished everyone a Very Happy Christmas.
