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
