2007After their Winter Holiday they did their first show in Bedworth with comedian Les Wilson. This was followed by more Warner’s dates up until the 12th of February when they flew to Athens to begin a cruise on the Artemus. They stayed on the ship until they sailed back to South Hampton. This was their first cruise for P & O and they had an excellent response from the passengers and the cruise director Christine, who made them feel more than welcome.
March saw them back with their good friend Vincent Hayes at Brick Lane Music Hall, this time the show ran into two weeks.
Of the various one-nighters, St. Patrick’s Day at the Hilton Hotel, Manchester with Stu Francis and Dusty Young stands out. Thank you Mickey Martin for a great night.
More cruises followed for P & O, The Oriana from Mumbai to Muscat then the Aurora from Barbados to Southampton.
The rest of 2007 was filled up with cruises for Page and Moy, then the yearly visit to Australia where promoter Jeff Jones had now teamed up with one of Australia’s most respected agents Brian Foggerty. Thanks to Brian they were now doing more dates than ever, which meant more travelling so Jonathan's back was killing him.
A lot of great memories, but Jonathan says the one that springs to mind was when they were back at Friends Restaurant, this time for three nights. On the third night, Jonathan looked into the audience, and who should be sat there but Hank B Marvin! Immediately they started doing The Shadow’s steps. The audience thought it was hilarious.
After the show, they had a chat and a drink. Hank knew Kevin, going back to the days when Kevin was with The Karl Denver Trio so they had lots to talk about.
If the year had one outstanding honour, it was being asked to be special guests on the 50th Anniversary show of the Gentlemen Songsters Male voice Choir. This took place on the 9th of May at Brierley Hills Civic Hall.
Once again the Choir joined the Bachelors on stage for “I Believe” to bring to an end a great night that raised thousands for children’s charities.
They finished the year by doing the 23rd and 24th of December in the Isle of White for Warners, then spending Christmas Day with their families. The next day they flew to St. Martin to join the Artimus and cruise round the Caribbean before heading down the coast of South America. They then sailed up the Amazon then flew to San Paulo and from there back to England, arriving on the 7th of January.
