The umpteenth Country Music Festival that I attended at
the PRESTATYN was at the 'Prestatyn Sands' site was back in 1986
This one ran for less than a week, and this was from
28 December 1986 until 2 January 1987 .
There were many performers, at a phenomenally economic
entrance fee (thanks to the 'vision' of the late Bob Chappell).
Apart from the musical attractions (my main reason for going) there were
many other attractions like:-
Country Music quizzes
Talent competitions
Country Dancing
Fast-draw competitions
Square Dancing (Levels: Beginners, Improvers, Mainstream)
Country Music Films
.. and my Lady Friend!
Performers appearing were:
Campbells Country
West Virginia
Dick & Geneva Matteis (Western Dance Instructors)
Malcolm Owen (Square Dance Caller)
Gordie West

Stroller
The Down County Boys
Steve Knight Country Band
Keith Gosling and Durango
Johnny Marks

Shiloh
Good Behaviour
Kenny Johnson and North Wind
SHAG CONNORS and the CARROT CRUNCHERS
Cargo
Stu Page & Remuda
Sarah Jory
The Kevin Duffy Band
Dillinger
.
(Very few photos from this musical extravaganza were taken - sorry folks'!!)
That was sure "one heck of a line-up" - and was the continuation of a decade with my support.
