Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings
With Mary Wilson, of the original Supremes

Legendary bass guitarist Bill Wyman and his blues-rock band the Rhythm Kings played to a packed house at Venue Cymru Llandudno on Saturday night.
The band was founded by former Rolling Stones' bass guitarist Bill Wyman, and together with his lifelong musical partner Terry Taylor, the pair produce, arrange and compose original material for this award winning band.
As well as Bill and Terry, the band includes Georgie Fame, Albert Lee, Beverley Skeete, Geraint Watkins, Graham Broad, Frank Mead and Nick Payn and they are always joined by a guest star, this time around the guest was none other than Mary Wilson, of the original Supremes.
Ms Wilson got everyone clapping along as she belted out her old hits, such as Baby Love, and Stop! In the Name of Love. She looked amazing, there’s not many women who can get away with wearing skin tight lycra leggings at 67 years old and still look great.
It was definitely ladies night, because as far as I’m concerned, Beverley Skeete stole the show with her outstanding voice, she put in a brilliant performance with a combination of blues, jazz and soul hits.
Georgie Fame does most of the introductions and his voice and musical talent haven’t diminished over the years, he’s still as good as he was back in the 60’s.
I love the saxophone and the two guys, Nick Payn and Frank Mead, delivered some great solo performances albeit accompanied by some pretty dodgy dance moves.
Worthy of mention also is South Walian born Geraint Watkins, a rock and roll pianist who has played with such greats as Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler and Paul McCartney, as well as being a brilliant keyboard player, he has a pretty good voice and also displayed a cheeky sense of humour.
All in all, each and every one of the band members are truly talented musicians, whether your preference is jazz, blues, soul or just good musical entertainment, you are certain to enjoy a night in the company of Bill Wyman and His Rhythm Kings.
