Extract from the organisers …
We all know this fun couple as a Country music act but are you aware they run weekend and midweek events that are so hard to get into because they book up so quickly from one event to the next. Having said that they have just announced an extra date for a midweek event near Scarborough in April 2024 so make sure you ask them about it before that also sells out. Not content with that they also run the Walesby Golden Buckle Festival in Nottinghamshire which is now in its thirty-seventh year, having taken on the task after the sad passing of Noel Taylor and also the Golden Buckle Mini Festival, both sell out events. They also promote the odd event if asked to help with a touring act. They don’t know when to stop and so also promote a New Year event in Walesby.
This entreprenurial couple took the bull by the horns when covid struck and are also busy with their day jobs, running a fruit and vegetable stall which, like everything else they touch, has become a huge success but this hasn’t stopped them entertaining people around the clubs, sometimes having to go straight from a gig to the wholesale markets before they get a chance to sleep.
For all they do for Country music they deserve this accolade.

The ‘annual’ Raven Hall event lived up to all expectations with the staff and service second to none. I say ‘annual’ because for obvious reasons the event could not take place last year but most of those who booked for 2020 carried their booking over and were pleased they did so.
While there were one or two changes Jonny & Lynnette excelled with the replacement acts, who did us proud, in fact we had a mesmerising experience with no one wanting to miss a thing and who wouldn’t with Ken Durrans, The Haleys, Jonny & Lynnette, John Aston (with a guest spot of two songs for his first appearance on stage in nearly two years), The irrepressible Thornhills and Phil Johnston who surprised me with an excellent choice of material.
It was thoughtful of Keith and Arthur Thornhill to entice John Aston on stage who, reluctantly, after the recent loss of his wife, Anne, put all his cares behind him. He received rapturous applause and encouragement from the enthusiastic audience who have mostly booked to return next year.
Such was the admiration for the staff that when a bucket was passed around for them it raised a vast amount of money which was presented to a representative the next morning in way of a collective thank you.
There are just a few places left for the 2022 event.

The brand new album from the Rocky Road Ramblers
January 2019
This month is kind of a crazy one as the four of us, The Rocky Road Ramblers, are heading to Memphis, Tennessee for a recording session at none other than the legendary Sun Studios.
The 1950’s saw music history being made at this iconic studio where Sam Phillips recorded legends like Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley to name just a few and the sound of rock and roll and rockabilly was born.
The main reason for going is simply to enjoy ourselves but to be able to record in the same room as some of our heros will be a dream come true and if we do record enough material to produce our second album from, well then that is just a bonus!

It’s all about the award shows this time of year and November was no exception. This time it was the BCMA awards (British Country Music Awards) held in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
These awards celebrate some of the biggest names in modern country and americana music who can often be heard played on Bob Harris’s BBC Radio 2 shows, so to gain a nomination in the Peoples Choice catergory for ‘Album of the year’ with our debut album ‘In the jailhouse now’ by our band the Rocky Road Ramblers was amazing to say the least.
We lost out to The Shires who are HUGE!..and can be seen playing arenas supporting stars such as Little big town, The Corrs and Shania Twain to name just a few.
Trust me when I say that none of us ever thought we would see our album nominated along side groups like The Shires so again a thousand thank you’s for making our musical journey so awsome.
September 2018
September was the month for the annual Cross Country NAM awards and this year we were nominated in three different categories, Jonny & Lynnette duo were among the top five shortlisted for Duo of the year, Lynnette Marie made the Female artist of the year catergory and The Rocky Road Ramblers were thrilled to be among the finalists for the Newcomer award.
We are so proud to have made the short list for all of these catergories and we’re over the moon to be awarded Duo of the year 2018.
Thank you to all who took the time to vote for us and who come along to the clubs, holiday weekends, festivals and show us all such amazing support.

This month we saw the 32nd Golden Buckle CMC festival held at Walesby and what a festival it was!
Over nine days we had an amazing line up of artists from all over the UK including guest artists from Ireland and the USA with the fabulous Joni Harms headlining the bank holiday monday show.
Included in the line up, with their debut performance was Jonny & Lynnette’s Rocky Road Ramblers.
