All the talk is about Don Woody's long overdue appearance in May. Just heard that Bear Family are to issue the first Don Woody CD with all the Decca songs and acetates from 1956 to be released in time for Don's visit.


Easy Jet's in-flight magazine featuring Hemsby Rockabilly is due out early next year.


We have a new Rockin' Boat Cruise booked to leave from Wroxham on Sunday, October 10th. A bigger and better boat too. It is always sold out.

Yes, I am working on the American stars to perform. See the flyer for the full details. These have just been printed.

Hoping to see some of you at the Rockers Reunion, January 23rd at the
Rivermead Leisure Complex, Reading for the 'Texas Tornado' Gene Summers,
Crazy Cavan, Jets and many others. Tickets are available from our Viv at: 01772 761 522.

We are very pleased to announce that Nashville based guitarist Chis Casello will definitely be playing with Sun star Johnny Powers at the October Hemsby Weekender. Mark Kemlo tells me that Chris does an excellent set of his own and maybe, just maybe, a spot can be found for him over the weekend. Regretfully I don't quite see how.

The latest news that I can now confirm is that at Hemsby 44, May 13 – 17, 2010, Jack Earls has been booked for a record breaking 6th time. Yes, he is that good! Also appearing will be Roc La Rue, Don Woody and many others. Which reminds me that the great Rockin' Ronnie Hawkins once told me that he was going to rename his band And Many Others “cause they get to play all the big shows!”

Sad News! Only 48 hours after posting our last news item I was told that Jack Earls is ill and he will not be able to perform at Hemsby 43 in October. His doctor will not let him fly for the foreseeable future. I am sure that you all will wish him a very speedy recovery and that Jack will be back with us at Hemsby next year.

I spoke with Sun star and outstanding live performer Johnny Powers and I am delighted to say that Johnny is confirmed to fill in for Jack. He will be accompanied by his ace Nashville lead guitarist Chris Casello.

Hemsby dates for 2010 have been confirmed as: May 14 - 17 and October 8 - 11

Now here's the latest news from Hemsby Rock'n'Roll Weekenders.
The dates for Hemsby 43 will be October 9 - 12, 2009 and we are knocked out to announce our head-liner will be the fantastic Jack Earls, the greatest living rockabilly star in the world today.
Such are Jack's legendary Hemsby performances that this will be a record breaking 6th Hemsby appearance. We simply had to bring back Jack. The most popular 80's revival band to ever play Hemsby will also be reappearing. The original Tunnel line up of The Bluecats! You kept asking for them so we had to rebook them and the Bluecats will be be playing, only, their second show in 15 years. That is special! Thanks guys.
Good news for beer drinkers at this upcoming Hemsby. A real ale bar will be opening in the Blue Lagoon. I'm sure that this is a first for any rockin weekender. It's what we drank in the 50's along with espresso coffee by the bucket full. I once drank 9 cups of espresso in one evening at the Pandora Coffee House in South Croydon.
I am also very pleased to tell you all that our October Hemsby 43 prices for Hemsby Beach have been FROZEN!

Catch you all in May.

Newsflash !! Pontins Hemsby closure does not in any way effect our event which is now held at Seacroft Holiday Village , Beach Road , Hemsby, Norfolk.


....also other news Robs Chop Shop will now be cutting hair at Hemsby 42 if he has time he may even spin some wax.

November 2008
The Norwich based band The Small Town Giants have now been booked to play on the Hemsby Rockin' Mississippi Boat Cruise. They may just get the chance to play with the American Stars who have all been invited to join the fun. May I take this opportunity to thank The Lonesome Valley Boys for their excellent past performances on the cruise. They will definitely be invited back.

I keep being asked who will be starring next October (Hemsby 43) so, the ever popular Nick Willet returns. Also, there are 3 more big names being lined up too!

It looks like 'Crunchabilly Time', but we will try to freeze our prices and always book the finest acts in the future. There will always be some surprises as in the past. Also, there will be some hard work to book the acts as well! All will be revealed later.
