17th February 2010


Andy was just finishing on stage as I arrived, but he was followed by Ashley [accompanied by Sandy] who gave us a brave rendition of Valerie followed by Summertime. She said she had needed a few vodkas to get up and sing, but she need not have worried as she had a great voice.
Bert then took the stage and played 'Me and the Devil' followed by a slide version of 'Falling of a rock' [with some accompanyment by Bob Leslie].
Bob then took the stage himself and sang a new song of his 'Just another Story Monday' followed by one for Joe Kidd [who was NOT present] 'The Devil ain't a friend of mine'.
Joe MacAtamany was then up and he sang 'Eldorado' and then 'Ride On' depite some "noise from the gallery". Billy and Sandy then sang 'Another Saturday Night' before the welcome return of
Stretch Dawson from the Isle of Mull. A fantastic player he gave us three songs 'She ain't Rose' , a syncopated jazz version of 'Falling Leaves' and then 'It's all your fault'.

Elspeth Durkin then went on stage and sang 'After the Goldrush' and then 'Will you still love me tomorrow?'
Duncan Adams had arrived by this time and he got up and performed 'Here comes my baby' and then the ever popular 'Where am I gonna Live' before handing over to
Ger McDade who performed 'Getaway' and then Man. City Blues'.
Andy [the Dandy] Logan with a little help from Bob, played 'On the Road again' segwayed into 'Good-hearted Woman'
Stuart Workman then sang a Steve Earle song 'If you fall' and then a request, 'Manhatten' before getting

Jenny up to join him and sing 'Eirie Canal'. He finished off with 'Reflections' - with Bob Leslie.
We had run over time so there was no jam session afterwards. Another great evening of music.
