I arrived late, so missed som of the artists.  When I got in Bob and Bernadette were performing "The devil's right hand"
Next up was Jim Morrison on his mandolin.  He sang a song called "The Dundee Ghost" - a comedic song with a little tale!  He also sang a Matt McGinn song "Camp Grenada" finishing with a satirical political song to the Gilbert & Sullivan song tune 'A modern major general'. 
Bob then sang a couple of songs " Hello Marylou, goodbye heart" and then "the weight song" [take a load off Annie!]  .
Next up on the stage was |Ryan Morecombe who gave us an amazing rendition of a Lady Gaga song "Born this way", one of his own songs, and then 'Mellow Yellow'.
Bob then asked Elspeth Durkin up to sing "After the Goldrush", then "Autumn Leaves" and then a duet with Bob of "Love hurts".
Next up was George Martin who sang "Days" by the Kinks in his own inimicable style followed by a Crowded House song "Fall at your feet" .  He finished with a request of  a Don Henley song "My wedding day".
John Morrison then got back up on stage and gave us a Mandolin version of "Light my fire" by the Doors, this was followed by a Canadian song "Saturday night in Bien Fait", and finishing with "It's a mad world".
Bernadette and her friend Pat then gave us a performance  of the Pogues song "Christmas in New York".  Bernadette and Bob then performed two songs together - "Only You" and then "Dance me to the end of Love"; she finished with "Bas me mucho"
