14th November 2007

Sandy started off as usual and then got the ever popular Kirsty up to perform an eighties classic ‘99 red balloons’.

Next up was Sean who sang in the Oasis style [?] ‘Right on Down’.

We then had a couple who were visiting from the antipodes [Canberra, Australia] Andy and Shona, they performed their own song ‘Waiting’, which was excellent, and well appreciated with the audience.

Big Bob Leslie was next with another original song - ‘I love you more than ice-cream’,

and he stayed on stage to accompany Stevie Osbourne in ‘Eastender Blues’.

Sandy then got Elspeth Durkin up to sing, with Bob’s accompaniment , ‘Autumn Leaves’, which was well received as usual.

Brian was next up with a classic Dylan sixties protest song - which is still relevant today unfortunately - ‘Blowin in the wind’.

Then we had another visitor Stewart Workman, from Edinburgh who sang another Dylan song (for Jack) - ‘The Ballad of Billy the Kid’.

Next up on stage was Laura Osbourne singing ‘I ain’t missin you at all.’

and she was followed by Andy the Candy Logan singing ‘the Games people play’.

This was about halfway through the evening so Sandy got Sean back up - and Sean sang the same song again ! Kirsty was then back up and she gave us a beautiful ballad called ‘Olde tyme memories’.

She was followed on stage by Ger McDade giving us two of his wonderful songs ‘My unsinkable boat’

and then ‘Everybody’s on the radio’. Bob Leslie then went back on stage with another lovely ballad

before playing with Stevie Osbourne on Stevie’s song ‘Good to be alive’. Sandy then got Shona and Andy back up , with another original song ‘Too many Times’.

Arthur then gave us ‘The green fields of France’

followed by Stuart Workman with ‘Cocaine’ [the song not the substance!!].

Stuart Nugent had dropped in by this time and he gave us ‘Tinsel town in the rain’
Andy Logan got back up and sang about ‘a two-timing man’ and was followed by Clutha stalwart Joe MacAtamy who sand ‘Haul Away’ and then ‘Gallipoli’.

Unfortunately at this point the battery in my camera gave out so no more photos, however

Laura Osbourne was then back up and performed a song for her Dad , Stevie, which she had written after an argument with her Dad [ but they had made up since then!] called ‘Daddy’s little girl’ - excellent song - with commercial potential I think. Penultimate performer was Jimmy O’Malley with ‘The rain came down’ and the final performance [and sing-a-long] of the night was Duncan Adams with ‘Where am I gonna live..’

As usual The Clutha Bar staff had a busy evening but were still smiling at the end of the night !
