Clutha Vaults 10th January Open Mic

A quiet start to the year, apparently, there were only a few people in last week as well.
Sandy started with a nice medley of six songs including ‘Diamond’ ,’Forever Road’ and ‘
If I were a carpenter’.

First up were Stuart Workman and Johnny T Miller [on Bass guitar], who gave us ‘My old friend the blues’ and the popular ‘Manhattan/Berlin’.


Stuart Maguire was next with his own composition ‘When we were faultless’ followed by another with Johnny T accompanying him ‘I ain’ ever satisfied’.


Johnny T then did a couple of acoustic songs himself - a Booker T song ‘Share what you’ve got’ followed by ‘Mystic Guy’.


The ever popular Jer McDade then got up and sang his own songs ‘Modern World’ and Universal Grace’ which had people tapping their feet.


Robert Walser had arrived by then and was next up on stage. He sang his own composition ‘Storm’ followed by the song, ‘Ramona’

A couple of musicians from the Urban Gypsies had dropped in, and John got up and gave us ‘Bright lights tonight’.

Sandy then got back up and sang a couple including ‘Texas Eagle’.


Steve Maguire was back up with ‘What Love is’ followed by Jer giving in to a request to do his popular song ‘Bob Treetop’
Andy the Candy Logan was called up next and he gave us ‘As time slips away’ in his usual laid back cheeky style. He followed that with ‘Crossroads’ accompanied by Johnny T on the Bass.


JT then gave us another couple of songs ‘ Ain’t no love in the heart of the city’ and the Eagles classic ‘Peaceful easy feeling’ which was joined in with by the audience singing the chorus and harmonies.
Sandy then gave us the classic ‘Fire and Rain’ followed by Robert with a Bob Dylan song ‘Seven curses’.

Joe Mac as ever brought us all back to Scotland, with a fine folk song, then the evening was rounded off by Stuart and Johnny with Andy giving us their unique version of ‘Copperhead Road’.

It may have been quiet to start but it was a very enjoyable evening indeed.
