Such star nights and top band nights are always popular in this area and I'm told that there is much more to come on the band front at this club over the next few months, with an appearance at the Jubilee from the highly-rated Northeast-based Tony Liddell Band.
Dean Hubert from Wakefield duo Two Steps Forward has launched a new venture.
Dean is making an assault on the tribute market with his new show Billy Fury Memories and it seems that the show is receiving rave reports.
A great night is assured for all soul and Tamla Motown fans this weekend at Hemsworth Miners Social Club in Fitzwilliam.
The Sunday night star attraction at this popular venue, which is known locally as 'the Pit Club', is Doncaster-based Martin Burton and the Soulmen and I predict a very busy night indeed for this one.
Many moons ago, back in the early 80s, I remember seeing Martin Burton at the old Kinsley Farmers venue, when he was bass player and lead vocalist with a great band called The Gents.
Chart success and the big recording deal eluded The Gents, despite an excellent debut album called Waiting To Be Seen. Eventually the four members of the band went their separate ways, with other members of the band starting a new outfit called Men's Club, which is still on the go today, albeit with a much altered line-up.
Two great singers make up much of this weekend's entertainment at Ryhill Liberal Club.
Saturday's star attraction is the brilliant Dawn Allen. Dawn is a real entertainer and it's great to see that she has re-established herself on the club scene after leaving to live and work on the holiday island of Ibiza not so long ago.
Sunday night at 'The Lib' belongs to the silky smooth voice of Paul Stewart, who should be likewise well received.
While working on the East Coast in my cpacity as an entertainer, a gentleman stopped me at the bar asking me if I lived anywhere near the Hemsworth area.
I replied that I knew Hemsworth very well indeed. This gentleman went on to tell me he was living on the coast, but had been born in Hemsworth and had returned recently for a family 'do'.
"What has happened to all the clubs?", was the question he asked me, pointing out clubs like The Soldiers, The Trades and Labour and St Patricks had all disappeared.
Of course he's right and it's a real worry. The fact is that we really need to try and look after the clubs which remain.
