Wednesday 6th December 2006

A cold miserable,wet, stormy evening outside, but a very warm and friendly atmosphere inside. That is what it is like on a Wednesday evening at the Clutha Vaults. Sandy Watson was once again hosting,[after his 'kidnapping' last week, and started off the evening with the beautiful song 'Everything flows' followed by 'Don't think twice'.

First up was Frank who sang a quiet ballad - 'Far away with you'.
He was followed 'on stage' by Kirsty, up from Lesmahagow once again, and having a belated birthday celebration with her friends -

Happy Birthday Kirsty' She gave a lovely rendition of 'California, I'm comin home'.

Sandy then got Andy 'the Candy' Logan up, and he entertained us with 'Time slips away' -

and as usual was accompanied by the audience in the chorus - to which he quipped " I know the words!!"

Next up was Jer McDade and sang an appropriate little number of his own called 'The new James Bond'

He was followed by Paul who sang 'I believe', and then newcomer Arthur got up and gave us his rendition of 'Me and Bobby McGee'.

Steven was next up [but I forgot to write down which song he sang -sorry].

Gavin, with Johny T on his Bass Guitar, sang 'Here comes your man'. Then Joe Kidd and Johnny T did Joe's lovely ballad 'Don't talk, listen'.

Next up was our regular Edinburgh visitor, Stuart Workman who entertained everybody, and even got a few folk up on their feet dancing!

Duncan Adams was next up and he sang two songs including his 'signature' tune of 'Where am I gonna live when I get home?'

Elspeth Durkin then got up to sing an accappella piece, 'The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood' over the noise of the pub, as her normal accompaniest Bob Leslie was not present this evening.

David O'Neill then sang a Gram Parsons song 'Hickory Wind' and then Gavin was up again singing 'You don't dance the techno anymore'. The classic combination of Andy the Candy and Izzy [of Theatre Nemo (www.theatrenemo.org fame] gave us the irrepressable song 'I want a hug'.

Sandy then called up the self proclaimed king of the Clutha Ian Adie, who gave us his song 'William Wallace and me'.
Stuart Workman and Johnny T were up next {with percussion accompaniement from Elspeth on Tambourine and Duncan on small drum} and gave us 'Copperhead Road'
Joe Kidd and Johnny then performed Joe's song 'Good Day' before the
evening being rounded off by Joe MacAtamy giving us 'A powerful Song'
