Rockin' at The Wings Bar

Classic Rock & Roll with some Rockabilly thrown in hits the Wings Bar on 8 October 2010 when Vernon and the GI's take to the stage for a fundraising gig.

The band have been on the Rock & Roll circuit for almost 40 years and during that time have played at venues up and down the country and at Rock & Roll weekenders both here and on the continent and recorded at Abbey Road. Their self penned I'm A Teddy Boy has become an anthem and has been covered by many other bands.

After playing the Wings Bar they are off to appear at the Crazy Rhythm Teds & Rockers weekender in Spain.

As a taster of what you can expect check out

Come along, have a great night and help raise desperately needed funds for the Club.

Doors open at 8pm
Admission £7

Tickets can be purchased in advance from bruno at the Club Shop on matchdays or by emailing bruno at bruno.wuff@ntlworld.com.

The first record released by Vernon and the GI's which is still one of the most requested songs in their repertoire and one I am sure will be on the setlist for 8th October.  We may even get to see Gary and Vernon go walkabouts through the audience with a drum.

What a great night of rock n roll - even better when Bruno had a little bop smile
Just a shame about the turnout though, I would guess about 30?
Congrats to all involved with the organisation and a big thanks to Vernon and the G I's.

It was certainly a very good night of rock n roll, and a truly professional performance.
A big thank you to Vernon and the GI's, also to Bruno for all the hard work organising this event. What a shame the turnout was so low, after all Bruno's efforts. At least those that did attend appeared to be full of praise for the group, and were really rocking.

It's a shame I was unable to go to this gig due to a prior commitment.  It sounds as though it was a really good evening.

It's disappointing if there were only about 30 there but if they do decide to do another night at the club, I definitely intend to be there.

Glad you enjoyed it guys.

I've had several messages from the local rock and roll fans who attended which echo what you have said.

Photos taken by Kevin can be found at The House of Rock

Great night and well organised Bruno. All the guys in the band loved the evening and would love to play again.
Tony is here as we speak and would like to convey good luck to us all

It wasn't a one man show. Thanks are due to Pat who organised the raffle and Gary on the door.

I second that statement. Without the help of these type of people, these events would be hard to carry out. Well done.

Kevin Grayston who attended the gig writes reviews for Crackerjack, the online rockabilly magazine. His piece on our Band Night is in the latest issue and anyone interested can find it on page 6 of the current issue.

Good thread Bruno and glad to see that your bobbing days aren't over yet  smile
To all those that missed the night, you really did miss a great evening of pure rock n roll.  The band are off to Spain, then back to Sidcup soon - check them out, one great band
