Rockers Reunion

The Rockers Reunion night (or should that be The Old Cardiff Rockers Reunion ?) Most of us played in bands 50 years ago which makes us silver haired old wrinklies with someone else's teeth. So old is the operative word. And unfortunately no-one lives forever not even Cardiff Old Rockers (or Old Cardiff Rockers). So if you would like to see what an old rocker looks like and listen to his music, whi

le you still can, catch us at The Earl Haig Memorial Club, Whitchurch, Cardiff, every second Tuesday of the month at 8pm. A few years ago, '1000 Fingers' Eddie Williams had a dream: to get old rockers from the 50's and 60's back together for regular meetings to catch-up, swap stories and play a few old tunes together. CAP Wednesdays are a great success. That was fine for us players and singers to indulge our passion for music and to relive our past memories. But what about family and friends? What about old rockers no longer able to play and old rockers who had never received the gift of being able to play or sing but who still retained the love of the old songs? And, to coin a phrase, "what about the workers" who can't make Wednesday afternoons? Enter the Pi & Hash Cardiff Old Rockers Reunion. In the early days the CORR was held wherever Eddie could find a venue now, of course, a home has been established at The Earl Haig Memorial Club in downtown Whitchurch, a great venue. But all these things didn't happen by accident. They were the result of hard work; of many sleepless nights and countless headaches. Then there were the hurdles to clear and the hoops to leap through. But lucky enough Eddie has a great team working with him. The indespensible Mags Williams, Gavin Patrick Williams and Alex Williams. Not forgetting Lyn Greatrex of course. The above is the (very) abridged version of the story behind CORR and one day I hope to read the unabridged version, the blood sweat and tears version, the REAL story EDDIE "1000 FINGERS" WILLIAMS
