1st February 2007

A very pleasant evening thanks to all the people who turned up perform.
Sandy Watson started the ball rolling as usual, with an excellent rendition of 'Fire and Rain'followed by 'Jailhouse' and finally getting some harmonising from the audience and Andy Logan on 'Banks of the Ohio'.









Andy 'the candy' Logan was first up, and having been at the Willie Nelson gig at the weekend [which he thoroughly enjoyed] he gave us his rendition of 'Blue eyes cryin' in the rain' He then performed 'Crossroads' an old favourite of his.
Jenny and Stuart Workman were through from Edinburgh again and they gave us the 'Fort Worth Blues' and then Stuart sang 'Anything I can do'.

Next up was Brian who gave us 'Honky Tonk Angels' and 'Fulsome Prison Blues'.
Jer McDade was next up with his own compositions 'Everybody's on the radio' and 'Bob Treetops'.
Elspeth Durkin was next , accompanied by Bob Leslie and she gave us the Neil Young song 'After the Goldrush' and then sang a duet with Bob of his song 'Different World', which Bob often introduces as a modern alternative theme sng for a new version of the film"Brief Encounter".
Davie was next up and he gave us his rendition of 'Hickory Wind' followed by Down on the corner'
. Robert Walser, our own corrie-fisted guitar player, gave us a wonderful instrumental composition of his own, followed by a Donovan song 'Try for the sun'.



The ever popular Joe Kidd was next with his songs 'Don't talk, listen' and 'Good Day' [or as some of us call it - the ebay song!!].
Bob Leslie was up next with his song about the neighbour from Hell [literally] 'The Devil ain't a friend of mine'. He was followed by Waldo, and then a newcomer Chris Rodger. Both of them sang their own compositions. Chris Rodger.

The ever popular combo of Izzy and Andy were up next, giving us 'Alexander's Ragtime Band' followed by Sandy's favourite - 'I want a hug'. Penultimate performance was from Ian Adie singing 'Aurora Borealis' and then a Neil Young song 'Out on the weekend'.
Sandy finished the evening off with the ever popular 'Jerusalem'.
There was just enough time for a little jam session whilst the rest of the equipment was packed up, which gives everyone a chance to singalong together or learn new chord combinations etc.
