Saturday evening - the 17th of March Live music at the Social
Club read the advertising poster but it wasn't the "Live
Music" bit that inspired me to take a closer look, more
the fact that staring back at me was something just a little
different. The group line up did not consist of the usual
- miserable looking angry young man type line up we are often
subjected too at this type of function.

The group had one of those unforgettable catchy names that stay
in your head for a long long time. "A Bit on the Side"
- The photo on the poster showed two girls with guitars so I
decided there and then to drop in and see how things panned
out, after all if it failed my expectations I could always leave.
Something I have done in the past when groups have turned out
to be complete rubbish.
Well it was a shrewd and inspired decision to attend - These
two girls were absolutely brilliant.
They were friendly, cheerful, and chatty. Most importantly -
they actually enjoyed what they were doing - their enthusiasm
transferring easily to all in attendance.

" A Bit on the Side" are a successful and entertaining
musical duo featuring Debbie and Helen, two experienced and
talented musicians, who sing and play a large repertoire of
popular songs from the 50s through to the present day, including
some 60s rock n roll, 70s disco, country, pop, waltzes, a few
rockier tracks and a selection of acoustic tracks if required.
The girls take turns on lead and backing
vocals, resulting in some gorgeous harmonies. Debbie plays
keyboards, and Helen plays electric and acoustic guitar and
electric violin, and there’s even a few numbers where
they can show off their dance moves.

We all
thoroughly enjoyed the evening and given the fact that I myself
stayed for the duration - not leaving until around ten to midnight
says much for the quality of music and general ambience the
girls created with their performance. If you missed this then
you missed out on one of the best groups ever to have performed
at East Garston. BUT fear not, you will get another chance to
join us at the social club and to see for yourself just how
good - "A Bit on the Side" - really are. Alan plans
to book the group again once a convenient date can be arranged. |
Thanks Debbie : Thanks Helen.
