The line up, at the event organised by Marlborough and district Rotary club, was impressive - Davy Graham from the Tornados (remember Telstar in 1962), Andy Thunderclap Newman (Something in the air) and top of the bill Craig Douglas.

They were all complemented by a very strong, tight backing band called The Myx - made up of musicians who have worked with greats like Paul McCartney, Nine Simone and Jools Holland.

Following on from my introduction as compere, the evening started with a warm up set from the band including session singer Jade Storm who went down a storm belting out a raft of soul classics.

Davy Graham then entered from stage left to support her. He then performed more sixties covers on his own - songs everyone would recognise and remember and they did.

The first half of the evening culminated with Andy Thunderclap Newman singing his one hit wonder with the accompaniment of grand piano and the voice of Davy Graham. There was also an added guitar rift which never appeared on the original 1969 hit. Suffice to say he was well received.

Following the interval of drinks and food the small but eager audience whooped and cheered as the big star of the show Craig Douglas took to the stage to perform all his well known hits: Teenager in Love, A Hundred Pounds of Clay and the biggy, the one everyone was waiting for, Only Sixteen.

He joked easily with the band and the audience in between the songs making everyone feel at home - in fact his easy delivery made you feel like he was personally singing to you.

The evening climaxed with Craig singing Bobby Darin's Lazy River - a good choice - the audience knew it and it left everyone on a high.

I wrapped the night up reminding everyone that all the proceeds would go towards the development of an outside rest area for patients and their families at the soon to be built new Savernake hospital.

Then, an unusual thing for a radio presenter, I decided to shut up and we all went home happy with those well known classics buzzing around in our heads. Oh what a night!
