The Kintyre Forum

Campbeltown Bowling Club is hosting another cabaret night on Saturday 4th October at 9.00pm. The star attraction is singer Jesse Garron who specialises in Elvis, Orbison, Cliff, Buddy, Rod, Tom J and many more, mainly from the 50's, 60's and 70's.

His agent has told me that he and his support band, the Wrecking Crew, have appeared at the Vic some years ago so some of you may remember him. He has actually requested us to host the gig here as he enjoys the local audiences so much. I am reliably informed that if you enjoyed the Kirk James show, this will surpass Kirk.

A maximum of 120 seated tickets are available at £10.00 each from the club and these are selling fast. If you are interested, please contact us.

I could not find any on line performances from the Scottish Jesse but this is a quote from a recent review:-

THIS IS A MUST GO AND SEE SHOW HE IS SUPERB!!! HIS CONCERTS ARE NOT JUST MUSICAL EVENTS THEY ARE ALSO HILARIOUS SOCIAL OCCASIONS, HIS HORDES OF FEMININE FANS ABANDON ALL MODESTY IN THE PRESENCE OF JESSE HE THRILLS THEM TO THEIR WHITE KNUCKLES............

Must have been a hen night

I went about 6 years ago in the Vic.
It was a great night if you like rock and roll. I am sure someone threw up their scanties onto the stage although I am sure Jesse must be collecting his pension by now. He is a great entertainer never the less.

I loved it. I enjoy jiving after having lessons in Glasgow. I hope that we can make it.

Arrived back home from Turkey in time for Jesse's show at Stronvaar, not really knowing what to expect having booked him on hearsay and a short promo DVD. It was a really enjoyable night, although we could have done with a few more members in attendance and I think that they were outnumbered by forum members and Agnes's Charity Dance regulars. Thank you all for your support.

We hope to do 3 or 4 of these shows during the year and will certainly be inviting Jesse back around the same time next year. Unlike some, distance was no object to him, having travelled from a gig in Newton Stewart the previous night, he was travelling on to Stranraer for a Sunday night gig. If you know of any good cabaret acts of this standard, please let me know and I will see what I can do.
