Ann Bretherton our Secratary did a sterling job putting the show together once again she is not appreciated for what she does,I know for a factt that she works tirelessly to get Acts to come and perform at Showcases free of charge some traveling a distance. Finally a great thanks to those whom come along to the Shows monthly so PLEASE keep supporting YOUR Clubs because we can't afford to lose anymore.

The annual Command show was held at this wonderfull venue for the first time and what a great concert room it was for it,with plenty of room and comfort for all.

This years Male Vocalist winner the popular ALAN KELLY who is well known in the Preston area who gave us his usual high standard of vocals and banter whom received a smashing ovation ,our second performer was a lovely young Lady the winner of the Female Vocalist prize was JAYCEE what a lovely performance she gave from a mixture of Motown and other chart hits this girl was outstanding and received a great clap of hands and cheers

The next artist was this years.Comedy/vocal winner MR DAVE ROSS "FRAY WIGAN" oh yeah Dave besides having a fine singing voice cracked a load of old and new jokes which truly entertained all of us.

Last Act of the Evening was A cracking four piece LIVE GROUP (not a backing track in sight)

this years command show selection LA BAMBA, with has the name suggests gave us lots of hits from the 60s and more a very talented set of Four Gentlemen,who went down a bomb.
