Sandy started the evening off with an old Beatles song ‘You’ve got to hide your love away’
before handing over to Bob Leslie who sang ‘The thrill has gone’ followed by one of his own songs ‘I love you more than Ice-cream’
Bob - the thorn between the roses?? Next up was Aaron Hewit who sang ‘The lakes of Pontchartrain’ and then ‘Knocking on heavens door’.
We had some Christmas revellers in this evening and one of them, Veronica , got up on stage, with Sandy on guitar, to perform ‘Sweet Loving’.
Andy Lindsay was back with us this evening and he performed a Lindisfarne number ‘Winter song’ followed by another Beatles number ‘All my loving’.
Then Stevie Osbourne got up with Bob Leslie on guitar, and gave us ‘Eastender Blues’ followed by his own song ‘Good to be alive’.
Jer McDade then got on stage and muttered that there was too much revelry going on and he would now bring the tone down “with two miserable laments” (his own words) and performed his songs ‘Vicky’ and ‘The Eighties’.
Kirsty then got up and gave us two beautiful ballads ‘Dirty Pennies’ and then a Gillian Walsh song ‘Bar-room Girls’.
Sandy then got Elspeth Durkin with Bob Leslie, up and she performed an Eartha Kit classic for this time of year, ‘Santa Baby’ - complete with Santa Claus hat! She then sang Bob's favourite, ‘Autumn Leaves’.
Stuart Workman, all the way from Edinburgh, then got on stage to sing ‘Been on the pinball’ and followed by a Steve Earle song, with Sandy on harmonies, ‘Come back Woody Guthrie’.
The next person called to the stage was - in the words of Sandy -" Don Curlywurly "- a.k.a. Andy Logan who gave us ‘Blue Christmas’ and ‘Games People play’.
Then Arthur got up and did ‘Green fields of France’.
Joe MacAtamany was then called to the stage, and he gave us ‘Haul Away’ and then ‘Galloway Hills’.
Duncan Adams then sang ‘There goes my heart’ followed by ‘Where am I gonna live ?’.
Stuart and Jenny from Edinburgh, then performed ‘The Eirie Canal’.
Willie Mathews was back in the house tonight and was finally persuaded to go on stage and perform a couple of swing songs - ‘The lady is a tramp’ followed by ‘They call me the breeze/White Christmas’
which had everybody in the place singing along - and a few up dancing too!
Final ‘act’ of the evening was the Buchanan Street Preachers
It was a very good evening on the whole, and starting to get into the Christmas Spirit!
