Sandy's Open Mic 4th June 2008

Sandy had started as usual and then first up was Stuart Workman, all the way from Alloa in the east to sing a couple of songs including ‘Please don’t let me be misunderstood’.
Next up was Brian with ‘Fulsom Prison Blues’ and then the classic Bob Dylan song from the sixties ‘Blowin in the wind’.
Sandy then got Elspeth Durkin up to the stage where she sang ‘After the Goldrush’ and then ‘Summertime’.
Kirsty followed with ‘Travellin soldier’ and then ‘First day of my life’.
Sandy then got back on stage and perfomed a Steve Earle song ‘Days are never long enough’.
Dennis then did ‘Careless Love’ and then ‘Saturday night…and I ain’t got nobody’. Bob Leslie took the stage then with a couple of his own compositions ‘Smell the roses’ and then an old classic of his own ‘The cultural imperialists have got me!’.
John followed on with a Neil Young song ‘Tell me why’ and then ‘What’s a poor boy gonna do?’.
Alex Mack and Davie were next with the guitar and banjo as well as singing, with ‘I’ll fly away’ and then a Bob Dylan song ‘I’ll be your Baby tonight’.
Jenni and Stuart Workman then got up to perform ‘Smile’ and then another classic - the Doris Day version of ‘Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps’.
Jer McDade then performed a couple of his own songs including ‘Back in the Seventies’.
Joe “Diamond” Kidd subsequently performed a new Neil Diamond song ‘Perfectly amazing grace’ followed by ‘She's got the way to move me’.
Joe MacAtamany got on stage to sing ‘Gallipolli’,
before handing over to Andy “the dandy” Logan with ‘he Games people play’.
Duncan Adams [late as ever] then asked ‘Where am I gonna live…?’ Carl then took to the stage with his Bass and played a beautiful melody called ‘Reach out a little bit’. Carl then introduced another Bass played called Scott, and they played a duet with double basses - which sounded really excellent.
George Campbell finished off the evening with ‘Cod Liver Oil and the orange juice’
despite the fact that he and his new wife were
JUST back from their honeymoon
- congratulations George!!
