'Oh What A Night' - or more like - 'Oh What A Weekend' - On tour with The Two Fat Cyclists & Uncle Lyndon
This weekend saw the Two Fat Cyclists & Uncle Lyndon doing back to back shows on Friday & Saturday nights.
Friday saw us `rocking` Gilberts Cafe in Pendine to celebrate the achievments of Michelle Gardner and Friends who recently completed a trek in the mountains of France in aid of the breast cancer unit at Prince Phillip Hospital, and also the ending of Dave and Michelle's tenure at Gilberts cafe.
We had a great night with Unlce Lyndon (I've got 20 years experience in this business) treating the crowd after downing a dozen cans of Hereford's finest fizzy canned apple juice to some duelling banjos, The Strongbow Song (a eulogy to cider drinking based on the melody by James Blunt in you're beautiful), as well as the crowd pleaseing, Dogging in Kenfig (a song about a man who goes for a walk at Sker beach followed by a swift pint at the Prince, Kenfig and wishes he hadn't) and also a yodelling Jim Reeves number.
A couple more cans of the electric lemonade in the back of the VW and we hit the hay in anticipation of the bigger gig ahead.
An earlyish brunch with Sue and Andy and then home to prepare for the evening.
We arrived at the Green Acres in North Cornelly at around 6.30pm managed a quick soundcheck and set up the room with Aunty Fran and Mandy just before the crowds started turning up.

After everyone had arrived and the customary chicken and chips supper we hit the crowd with 12 up tempo numbers as ordered by Uncle `I've got 25+years in this business` Lyndon Williams.
(Daisy Duke - Jan Jenkins)
(Mr Sean `Something for the Gentlemen` Morris)
During the interval we had a great raffle and quiz that was only marred by a single incident which revolved around one question about the duration of the NFL season that was challenged repeatedly by members of the Rachel Williams pose`. After some swift negotiation amongst the committee and the consulting of various iPhone holders we agreed to accept the posee's answer if only to avert a fatwa' being issued by the Kenfig Hill and District Fatwa Council.
The arrival of Mr `Brokeback Mountain` Morris and Laura `I can`t believe I'm on the pop again `Howells - complete with understated inflatable horses)
On to the second set and `more upbeat and keeping giving it to em' was ordered by `I've been in this business for 29 and 1/2 years` Lyndon Williams.
Another dozen songs and the crowd were rocking and on their feet and we even managed a couple of encores before calling it a day (always leaving them wanting more - Lyndon Williams circa 285mg/l blood alcohol level). However Mike the Acres (Owner) was having none of it and asked if we could accomodate flambouyant local hair designer Darren, AKA `Sharron Loves u' cock`. Uncle Lyndon, always one to accomodate anyone from alternativley orientatated sexual groups was right back into it and plugged backin and `banged` out a couple of quick ones including mustang sally, don't let your son go down on me and only you (Yazoo) to the crowds utter enjoyment.
A great weekend with around £500 in the bag for the charity.
Next up for us is the Royal Oak Kenfig Hill (November) and Pyle and Kenfig Golf Club (January)
Thanks to all who supported us and see you all next time

WINTER CHALLENGE 2012
We are 21 weeks away from flying out to Chicago to attempt 7 century bike rides in 7 days with the added challenge of completing as many gigs in Chicago and New York as possible.
I have been off the bike for nearly 3 weeks and any training that had been built up has now gone. I have suffered with extreme osteo-arthritis in the knee with the accompanying sciatica and sleepless nights.
Acupuncture, blood cupping, cod liver oil tablets, glucosamin and chondroitin tablets and three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar a day seem to have helped and tonight I hit the track for a 10 mile time trial in Carmarthen with my buddy, Phil who has also been suffering from various ailments (that's for him to discuss).

News Flash
Henry Jones arrived back at Pendine today following Englands dismal display against the French in their quarter final match at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
Jones, 46 who is a world leader in sales bullshit had hoped to lay low in the seaside resort in an attempt to avoid multi-dimensional ribbing from his Welsh associates.
His plan was scuppered however when local hacks spotted the hairy blonde toff exiting his playboy VW Sirocco Coupe at his in-laws residence this afternoon.It is thought that the bleached folicle-meister will stay until he has cleared his in laws larder and the contents of their new American style fridge and gained at least 12lbs in bulk ahead of his next big pressure sales campaign which involves the targeting of senile pensioners who wet themselves who Jones thinks need software that alerts them to media articles about them and their friends.
