Another Season Just Flashed By.

And so there it is, the end of another season and an emotional finish to this one with the final show from Alan Dodd. Elvis has left the building for the last time. Good luck to him and I hope we meet up again someday.


I´m now in training for my charity trek from Skegness to Southend in aid of “Help For Heroes” in July, it´s been going pretty well but the extreme heat here has brought me out in unsightly red blotches (I hope it´s the heat anyway), and today they´ve gone all itchy. Am not walking today as don´t want to risk having to do my last show in “Sinatras” tonight in Cliff Richard´s tennis shorts with red “mump” like legs and thus scaring the kids. If you want to contribute you can go to my “Just Giving” site – http://www.justgiving.com/kevin-holt and I would like to thank all our members who have so far contributed 170 pounds!

After the walk it´s full steam ahead with our 4th annual Blackpool Reunion in August, for details of this see -

You will be able to follow my painstaking progress on the walk on Facebook (Kevin holt benidorm) and on this blog.

Ta ra for a bit.

ALAN DODD.

On Sunday 26th June our resident Elvis Alan Dodd will perform his last show for us at The Cumberland Ex-Servicemen´s Club. He´s been with us for 5 years working every Sunday and Wednesday and the man is a legend! I´ve worked with Alan in several pubs and for the whole duration of my 12 years here and it´s been a real pleasure for sure. I can´t remember him ever letting us down, forever on time and always giving it everything he´s got whether there be 3 or 300 in the audience. He´s going to be sadly missed that´s for sure and we all wish him and his dad all the best for the future. It´s also our last show of the season and we are hoping to film the event for posterity.


Cheers Elv.
