Clutha Vaults Wednesday 24th September 2008 Sandy's Open Mic

Sandy started the evening off with a song 'ClayPigeons' by Blaze Folley followed by 'Out in the fields' by Kate Rusby.

First to the stage was Bob Leslie who sang his own compositions 'Smell the Roses' and 'It'll last another day'.

Sandy then asked Donny up to the stage and he performed a Steve Earle song 'Nothin brings you down like your home town' followed by a Doobie Brothers song 'Without Love' .

Sandy then got back on stage and sang an Elvis song 'Latest Flame' followed by 'Colorado'. He then asked Stuart Workman up to preform. [Stuart asked Bob to give him some accompanyment on his guitar] Stuart then sang the Leonard Cohen song 'Manhatten' and followed it with 'Changes'.

Sandy then asked Elspeth Durkin to the stage, with Bob, and she sang 'Summertime' followed by the Carole King song 'Will you still love me tomorrow'.


Jer McDade then took to the stage and sang his own song 'One day life got serious' and then a brand new song 'On that day' which could easily become another open mic classic which people can sing along to!

Sandy then sang 'Three kings'

before getting Donny back up - singing 'Rollin & Tumblin'.

Stuart Workman and Jenny then got up and sang 'I'll remember you' and then Jenny sang 'Moon River'.

George then got to sing a Dylan song 'Tangled up and Blue' followed by 'Halleluia.

Next on stage was a visitor from Virginia, America - Aaron Lewis. He started off with a pickin tune 'Freight train' and followed on with a pretty ballad 'Your beautiful place'.

George Campbell the sang Down to the River' and his classic 'Cod liver oil and the orange juice'.

Finishing off the stage performances were Johnny T Miller and Martin who performed an excellent version of 'Red Dress' finishing with 'Shame,shame,shame'.

A short jam session ended the evening whilst Sandy cleared up the equipment, with Aaron getting out a fiddle and playing some bluegrass style music with Bob Leslie and friends.
