A masterclass in musicianship made for another excellent charity concert at the increasingly popular ‘Ballam Arena’.
Enjoyed by an appreciative audience – including several new faces – the Cartwright Guitar Show, a renowned Lytham-based father-and-son acoustic vocal duo, proved a huge success.
Roger and son Max, who have supported major acts in theatres up and down the UK, performed a mellow mix of well-known songs – without any need for backing tracks.
They covered the likes of The Beatles, Elton John, Glen Campbell and Tom Waits and displayed guitar-playing of the highest standard.
Sincere thanks to everyone who attended, or bought a raffle ticket (helping to raise a remarkable £170), or donated a prize or helped in any way.
It was particularly pleasing to see so many ‘first-timers’ in attendance and we hope the message that good things are happening at Ballam will continue to spread across the area.
• We are looking to hold our next live concert in the Autumn … watch this space.
