Night bursts into song and colour
WOODFORD came alive with colour on May 29, as Play-itt open mic held a ‘Colour My World’ theme night, in a vibrant celebration of music, fun, and flair.
Marlene and Shirley took home well-deserved honours for best-dressed, as their colourful effort captured the spirit of the night perfectly, with many thanks going out to all who joined and made the evening a success.
Norm kicked off the event with a spirited rendition of Alan Jackson’s ‘Don’t Rock the Juke Box’, followed by Peter’s nostalgic performance of ‘Walkin’ My Baby Back Home’.
Chas headed to ‘Kansas City’, Bill shared the quirky charm of ‘Angelina’, and Norm later returned with Smokie’s ‘Mexican Girl’.
Walk-up performances were fewer than usual, but the quality was sky-high. Elaine impressed with Patti Page’s ‘Detour’ and Gina Jeffreys’ ‘Girls Night Out’, while John delivered a heartfelt version of ‘Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain’.
Jenny brought a burst of colour with ‘Yellow Bird’. Marlene shined with ‘Heartaches By the Number’, Jo delivered ‘Lookin’ Out My Back Door’, and Don hit a nostalgic note with ‘Blueberry Hill’. Jan dazzled with ‘I’m Coming Home’.
Gary performed Kristofferson’s ‘Sunday Morning Coming Down’, plus Marty Robbins’ ‘Story of My Life’.
Other standout acts included Barb, Rod, and the ever-reliable house band, finishing with Mike’s thunderous drum solo on ‘Wipe Out’.
Don’t miss No Alibi on June 6, and prepare your show tunes for the next themed night on June 26.
