zephyr Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 She also sang the theme to 'Lives and Loves of a she Devil' I went to school with Christine and she had a damn good voice even then. I think that everyone who heard her knew she was special. Lived in the Loch Hotel on the Prom as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posters Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 He's right, you know. She-Devil soundsDennis Waterman didn't write and sing the theme tune - that honour went to composers Richard Thompson and Peter Filleul, and singer Christine Collister.

Hugh Jampton Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 The Dave Kelly Band has been around for many a year playing blues and country music. Ive seen them in The Smoke a couple of times. I believe he played in the Blues Band too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man in the mask Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 The Dave Kelly Band has been around for many a year playing blues and country music. Ive seen them in The Smoke a couple of times. I believe he played in the Blues Band too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think Dave was one of the original members of the Blues Band, and hasn't quit, as far as I know. Christine and Dave played on Paul Jones' Radio 2 Programme the week before the gig. Christine was aware that the Blues Festival was on before she played, and she might well have had the opportunity to play there, but £2000 would have been to much for the festival to pay out, anyway. Christine is a great ad for the island's musical culture, as are Harry Manx and Robin Nolan. I have a feeling Davey Knowles will be the next! The popularity of the blues festival has become incredible. It has had only around £2000 of Government support over the years, I'm led to believe, (plus a lot of non-financial assistance from DTL and DOT), but the success has been down to enthusiastic volunteer input. Nobody organising the event has taken a bean from it, and the majority of people attending had a great time! The few problems that there were can surely be overcome. Who has constructive suggestions?
