Dec, just a short note to thank you for
the great show you put on for us last night.
We hope we looked after you well, and
that you enjoyed your short spell in Cornwall.
For a small village like ours, this was
a major outlay for us, considering we had to work with a full capacity
of around 120 people, but we were delighted to come out with a
profit.
Everyone enjoyed the show, and thought
that you were all brilliant - if you are planning a short tour of the
area next year, let us know, and we might be able to work in another
date.
Thanks once again,
Barrie Tippett

Subject: The Bachelors Warners
holiday resort (Lakeside) July 2006
Dear Lynne,
My wife an I went to Warners holiday
resort ( Lakeside) in June and were surprised and extremely
pleased to discover that the Bachelors were performing.
Unfortunately we both assumed that it would
be a substitue group, because having fondly remembered them from
the 1960s, we did not believe it could possibly be the
original Con and Dec forty odd years later.
For unavoidables reasons, we arrived
late for the performance and could only find a seat behind a
pillar where we heard very well but had poor sight of them.
We have been kicking ourselves ever since as
it was the best show by far that we have ever seen at Warners
resorts or anywhere else for that matter.
We were particularly impressed with the lady
singer as well of course, Dec and Con.
They seem to be better than they
were in the 1960s and we were amazed at how well they looked and the
amount of effort and energy they were capable of putting
into their shows forty years further on. (much more than I coud
do I might add.)
Many warm congrayulations to them and may
they be able to carry on giving joy to people for many years to
come.
We live in Dunstable Bedfordshire and as a
result of this pleasant experience, we would both very much like
to see another performance in the UK or possibly on a cruise (if I
can save up enough). I have looked on your website but I
cannot find any information on future perfomance dates. Is it
possible to let me know if and where they are going to appear
anywhere within the next few months?
Kind regards,
Neil Conacher.

When I arrived in Blackpool on Monday the 20th
September, I went to book what shows were on, as I usually do. I was
very surprised and delighted to discover that Con and Dec were on at The
Opera House. I went to The Bachelors Show on Wednesday 23rd
September. It was a few years since I had seen Con and Dec on stage. I
certainly wasn’t disappointed. They are still as good as they ever
were, and the show brought back so many happy memories to me of seeing
them in the 1960’s and 70’s at The Opera House and at various other
theatres in Blackpool.
After the show I told Con and Dec that I had
seen them for the first time 40 years ago at the Central Pier at
Blackpool when they did their first summer season and strangely enough,
I was sitting on the front row then in July 1964. So it was a night of
memories.
Thanks once again and I look forward to another
year of news from Con and Dec.
Yours Sincerely
Margaret Davey.

Anyway, I would love to share my special night
back in Blackpool at the famous Opera House, the first place where I
actually saw the boys top the bill in my teens. My dear friend May came
along with me and we stayed over for the night.
The new act
was nicely mixed with old and new songs and of course having Dec’s
daughter singing and playing keyboard at one side, and the happy smiling
dancing lovely bearded John Dartnell on the other side made the sound buzz.
Also a great new drummer to me, completed the excellent performance.
We had a fantastic night. Con and Dec made me
feel so welcome. So a big thank you for a perfect night, Con and Dec.
Also another Thank you to John Dartnell who sat along side us to have a
great conversation which ended a perfect night.
Cheers.

Hi Just wanted to say
thanks for such a great evening. We walked back up the hill singing

Hi Dec,
Just to
let you know that Sylvia and myself had a really fantastic time at the
meeting/dinner. Finally meeting Con, he is truely a really great
guy, as I'm sure you are aware. What can I say about your show!
This was the first time that I had seen both of you perform live,
brilliant!. Sylvia was a bit embarrased when you came and sat
next to her and sang (she loved it really). Con's rendition
of "everybody hurts" was absolutely stupendous, so much
feeling at the way it was put across.
Having
been reading your "one minute gang" comments about how to
present yourself on stage etc, it was all there in your show in the
way you have advised people. The right sound system/mics etc,
lighting, costume, and of course stage presence. You have both
been at the game a long time and have learned much, hence your advice
to newcomers. If these newcomers were to come to one of your
shows, they would learn a great deal in how the pro's do it.
Once
again thank you for your time, and apologise if I keep on.
Give my best
regards to your brother Con.
Very
best regards,
Paul
Con
~ - fabulous fabulous show! The joint was really jumpin'.......people
are still talking.
Very
many thanks to everyone.
Warm
wishes.
