BOB LESLIE started off with a few songs while people arrived and had a few drinks, ‘Six days on the road’, ‘Caledonia’, ‘The Thrill has gone’, and ‘It’ll last another day’ his newest composition.
First up was ELSPETH DURKIN to sing a duet with Bob ‘Love hurts’ followed by ‘Autumn Leaves’.
Then Bob got JOHN McCORRIE up to play his drums
and they performed ‘Handjive’
Next up was WALDO who played two of his own songs - ‘St Cecilia’ and ‘Down by the waterside’
LYNN CARSON then got up on stage and performed three songs - ‘Only love can break your heart’ by Fleetwood Mac and then two of her own excellent compositions - ‘Westwind’ and ‘The Green room’
BOB then decided to carry on the own composition theme and sang ‘I love you more than Ice-cream’ from his cd “Songs from the Mine” recorded with his band THE OUTFIT.
A slight change of pace then followed with DENISE McLAUGHLAN getting up and reading some of her poetry to the assembled throng. Four poems entitled ‘Skint Mates’; ‘Nursing Love’; ‘pumpin the poems’; and ‘Scary Thought’, all of which were well received.
JOE McATAMANY followed with a Matt McGinn song ‘Coorie doon’.
ELSPETH and BOB were up next with a duet of one of Bob’s compositions ‘ Different World’. Bob then got JOHN and THE CHICKEN SUPREMES [ELSPETH & LYNN] back on stage and gave their first presentation of the Supremes hit ‘You keep me hanging on’ - which gave everyone a good boost - despite having to read the words off song sheets!
WALDO was back up then with ‘Take a walk with me’. Bob named him king of the codis as it is sometimes difficult to know when Waldo has actually stopped playing his songs!!!
Next up was KATE McGEE another excellent female performer who gave us a Bob Marley song ‘I don’t want to wait in vain’ followed by another Fleetwood Mac song ‘Thunder only happens when its raining’.
DENISE was then back with another couple of poems - ‘Bleeding Lust’ written after hearing Leona Lewis’s new song on the radio and ‘Wha Me’s’
a poem about two-faced people.
JOE MAC was back up then with two songs - ‘Ride On’ and ‘Haul away’.
He was followed by DUNCAN ADAMS
who asked JOHN if he could help out on drums, and he sang ‘Trust you with my heart’ and then ‘No More’.
LYNN was then back up with ‘The Wake’.
Final performance of the evening was Bob, John and the
"Chicken Supremes" - firstly with a Little Feat number ‘Dixie Chicken’ and then ‘GLORIA’.
Next week Bob is hoping to have a few more Seasonal songs, along with some Jingle Bells !!!
