Bob’s Open Mic; Clutha Vaults, 18th February 2008

I arrived a bit late this evening, so missed some of the early performances.

Peter and Stevie were up on stage when I arrived and were singing ‘What’s goin on’ followed by ‘Cannonball’.

Bob then got back on stage with John McCormack on the drums and did a version of ‘Heatwave’ followed by ‘Johnny B Good’.

John left the stage shaking his arms!! Bob then got Elspeth Durkin up to sing ‘Fields of Gold’ followed by ‘Autumn Leaves’.

Kate McGee was next up having also just arrived, and she sang ‘I don’t want to wait in vain’ and then a good version of ‘Tinseltown in the rain’.

Scott was up next with Bob on guitar, to sing ‘Fulsom Prison Blues’ [Apparently he had played some mandolin earlier in the evening] Cheryl Campbell was next and she sang ‘It hurts with every heartbeat’

Joe MacAtamany had arrived by this time and did a couple of tunes ‘Lewisville - Lilly of the West’ and ‘I’ll lay ye doon love’.

Peter and Stevie got back up next and sang ‘Don’t leave’. Bob giving some backing 'drums'!

The finale of the evening was when Bob asked all the female singers to come up and accompany him [ as the Chicken Supremes!] and John also played the drums. They sang ‘ The Mighty Quinn’ , ‘Set me free’ and finished with ‘Break another little piece of my heart’.
After this there was a little jam session on the floor, whilst Bob put the equipment away, and a very nice evening was had by all.
