The Groovy Happening is back home in Haworth this Saturday, for a night at the Parkside Social Club.

The club is celebrating after raising its first £1,000 of the year for the Manorlands hospice in Oxenhope.

Musicians performing at the popular monthly gig provide their services free of charge and they are helped by the Parkside Club.

This weekend’s headliners are Radio City, a Baildon/Ilkley funky dance-type band visiting the Happening for the first time.

The five guy musicians and girl singer have years of experience in the music business and plan to finish the night with dancing.

Sarah Widdup is also from Baildon and is also new to the Groovy Happening as a solo singer guitarist, although she has performed there in the past as one of the singers with The Loungers.

Mary Keady and Spence will be playing traditional Irish dance music.

Mary, of Irish descent, has played fiddle for a number of years and is a regular participant at traditional Irish sessions and festivals in Ireland and the UK Spence lived in Ireland for over three years and he has played traditional Irish music on his guitar for more than 15 years.

Izzy is described as an exciting young musician who is new to the Groovy Happening.

Her publicity blurb said: “She’s a tenacious teenager who plays her music far too loud first thing in the morning, loves all things zombie, and has a bullet hole through one of her ears!

“She likes a wide range of stuff spanning about 40 years. Rock and indie are probably her favourite categories.”

Tony Levy, who opens the show, has described himself as an ancient rock star, singer, songwriter, guitarist, humourist, compere and entertainer.

The Groovy Happening is at the Parkside Social Club, Butt Lane, Haworth. Admission is usually £3, and doors open at 7.30pm.
