* Guitarman Chris Burton and the band swing away at the evening on the railway platform.
The railway's big Sixties party almost swung itself right off platform one at Llangollen station last night, thanks to local entertainer Chris Burton and his backing band.
The popular local guitar man - dressed in one of The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper-style shiny frock coats - pumped out hit after hit from the swinging decade, slightly overshooting his allotted time. But nobody was caring as they were enjoying themselves so much.
Way into the special evening session out came a fantastic cascade of terrific tracks, from the Fab Four's Hey Jude to Chubby Checker's The Twist and from the Stones' I Can't Get No Satisfaction to the Monkees' I'm a Believer.

As the crowd - many of them in period costume - rocked along, all this helped get Llangollen & Corwen Railway's Sixties Weekends off to the very best of starts and came after a full day of activities from the legendary decade - with more of the same to come today (Sunday).
Especially for the event the talented resident team are transforming the entire 10-mile stretch of line into a living recreation of Britain's railways during one of the country's most fascinating decades.
From heritage steam trains, heritage railcars and diesel engines to live music, vintage buses, historical re-enactments and family attractions, every station along the line is offering something different.
Visitors can travel as much as they like with unlimited heritage train travel, hopping on and off to experience the unique atmosphere created across Llangollen, Berwyn, Glyndyfrdwy, Carrog and Corwen.
The event recreates the era of the Beeching cuts, when rural railways across Britain faced closure. Throughout the weekend, visitors will encounter anti-Beeching protests, railway porters loading luggage, parcels and milk churns, Beeching's survey teams counting passengers, and authentic British Transport Commission Police officers patrolling stations and trains.
One of the weekend's headline attractions is the visit of the Welsh Bobbies, whose recreated 1960s British Transport Commission Police Station at Corwen allows visitors to have their fingerprints taken, stand against the police height chart and discover an impressive collection of original police artefacts.
A "Welsh politician" is also delivering a speech highlighting the impact railway closures had on rural communities.
Visitors can also explore the Trains to the Cambrian Coast Exhibition at Llangollen, showcasing original artefacts from the Ruabon to Barmouth line, 1960s memorabilia and an original copy of the Beeching Report, while Berwyn Station hosts a fascinating exhibition explaining why so many branch lines disappeared during the decade.
There is plenty happening beyond the railway too, with heritage Crosville bus tours departing from Corwen aboard a beautifully restored 1950s Bristol L5G.
Live music forms a major part of the celebrations, with performances throughout the weekend at Llangollen Station.
Apart from the Sixties extravaganza from Chris Burton, award-winning duo Rose & Jacob, the powerful vocals of Esme Sallnow, and on Sunday afternoon Jabberwocky, will bring the weekend to a close with an energetic mix of soul, blues and classic sixties hits.
Guests can enjoy drinks in Beeching's Bar, serving local real ales, lager, wine, bottled beers and soft drinks, together with hot food at the station.
