14th May 2008 Sandy's Open Mic
The Open Mic did not start until sfter the UEFA Cup final finished on the big screen, and everyone at the Open Mic sends commiseration to the Rangers team and fans from everyone at there. We were all rooting for a Scottish victory but it was not to be unfortunately.
Sandy opened the singing with a Kate Rosebell song 'The wild Geese' and then got Jo up first. She performed 'Feels like broken glass' and then 'May you never..'

Ronnie was next with two of his own songs 'If you're near' and then 'She's halfway there'. 
Next was Peter with another couple of original songs 'We must stare' done with such gusto he broke one of Sandy's strings - so changed to Bob's guitar to play 'I'm a Zombie'.
Elspeth Durkin then got up, with Bob, to sing a blues song - 'Summertime' and then a duet with Bob of his song 'Different World's'. Stewart Workman and Jenni then got on stage to sing 'Smile'

and Sandy joined them to harmonise on 'Fort Worth Blues'.
Ian Adie then got to the stage to sing 'Help me make it through the night' followed by 'Stand by Me'.
Someone wrapped him with a Rangers scarf whilst singing but like a true professional he kept going to the end of the songs before taking it off! He stated that this was the only time that football colours were allowed in the pub - and if anyone tries to come in again "They'd be barred"!!
It did give everybody in the place a good laugh though and raised the mood too.
Duncan Adams was next on stage, joined by Michael Anthony on trumpet,
singing 'All you do is bring me down' and then 'Dance the night away'. 
Bob Leslie was next singing his own songs 'Lady luck rode away' and then 'The tune that was broken'.
Joe MacAtamany was next with 'Annie McKelvie' and 'Wild Mountain Thyme' done in his inimitable style.
DESTINO [Carl and Michael] were up next with 'Spirit in your all', 'I'm gone' and 'A wee Movement'. ( They are going into the studios for the next couple of weeks to cut a disc.)


Stewart and Sandy then performed 'Can't remember if we said goodbye' of which there is 27 seconds of video on kindurco youtube - click on the link above.
and Sandy [a Celtic fan] then stated "Hard luck Rangers - you did Scotland Proud!".
Sandy then got Bob and Elspeth up to do 'Dixie Chicken' and Michael and Carl joined them too. Sandy joined them straight after to sing 'Who do you love'
Ian Adie had asked Sandy to keep going for another half hour or so {late license} so they then sang 'Gloria', followed by David Martin with the 'group' singing Handbags and Gladrags' Stewart and Jenni then joined in and did 'Pharoah's Army'. then it was 'Nobody Knows' with Jo.
Ian Adie finished the night off with 'Help me make it through the night' - with a little help from Bob, Carl, Michael and Elspeth.
[Battery on the camera ran out before the end - sorry].
