Bob Leslie was next on the acoustic guitar singing his own songs 'The Devil ain't a friend of mine', 'Beans and Beer' and then 'It'll last another day' where he was accompanied by Kevin on electric guitar.
Kevin then did a Frank Ifield song 'Lovesick Blues' followed by a beautiful ballad 'Broken-hearted People'.

Stuart then got back up to sing 'Jersey Girl' [with Bob on the electric guitar]
and was then joined by Jenny who sang 'Smile'

followed by 'Eirie Canal' along with Stuart and Bob.
Kevin [& Bob] then gave us a good version of 'Hoochy Coochy Woman'.
Kevin then got Elspeth Durkin up to sing 'Autumn Leaves' 'After the Goldrush' and then 'Will you still love me tomorrow?', which had a few of the audience joining in on the chorus.
Joe MacAtamany the got up to the stage and sang 'Bonnie Heiland Lassie' and then 'Jock Stewart', and finally 'Will ye come to the dancin' wi' me?'
