Monday Night at the Clutha with Kate and George

I arrived in about halfway through the proceedings and Kate and George started to perform 'The Wait'. They then asked Elspeth Durkin up to perform with George and she sang 'Autumn Leaves'. She performed the next song accapella [unaccompanied] which was 'The Last Leviathan' about the end of the whales, and it was not until after she had left the stage she discovered that a tableful of tourists [ladies] were actually from Norway - a whaling nation!!oops!
Kate and George filled in with another song before getting Joe MacAtamany up to sing 'Lily of the West' followed by 'Broom of the Cowdenknowes'.
Kate and George once again took the stage and sang 'Valerie' with some participation by some of the audience. They then asked Elspeth up again , when she sang 'Fields of Gold' with George accompanying, and then two accapella songs 'Home is behind' from the film Lord of the Rings - Return of the King, and then a traditional ballad 'Our Wedding Day', all well recieved by the audience.
Kate and George then performed another couple of numbers 'The Cherry Tree' and then 'Love the one you're with' before getting Joe Macatamany back up again. He sang 'A powerful song' and then 'Haul away'. Kate and George then finished off the evening with 'Time after Time' and then 'Big Yellow Taxi'.
