Monday 25th February 2008 - Bob’s Open Mic Night -Clutha Vaults, Glasgow

There was a VERY quiet start to the evening ….I think that the very stormy weather put people off from venturing out. However, Bob was up on stage to start with a new song ‘Smell the roses’.
He then got Elspeth Durkin up to join him in a couple of Little Feat songs - ‘Dixie Chicken’ and then ‘Willin’.

Then Bob continued with ‘The thrill has gone’, another of his new songs ‘Just another stormy Monday’, and a Smokey Robinson song ‘Tracks of my tears’.
Kate McGee and George Martin then got on stage and performed a Spandau Ballet song ‘Through the barricades’, a Buddy Hollie song ‘It doesn’t matter anymore’,
and then a Tasmin Archer song ‘Sleeping Satellites’.
Bob then got back up and sang ‘It wasn’t down in Texas’ and then ‘Frankenstein’.

Elspeth Durkin then got back up and sang ‘ Autumn Leaves‘ and then ‘After the Goldrush’. Bob then sang ‘Hand jive’, which was well appreciated by the audience. We had a group of Welsh people who had arrived, and they sang along to that one!
Bob then sang ‘You’re as drunk as me’ and ‘Caledonia’.
Joe MacAtamany was then up to sing ‘Up the Northern Water’ and then ‘The Sally Gardens’.
Bob then sang ‘Heat wave’ followed by ‘My Girl’.

He then got Kate and George back up , and they gave us a K D Lang song ‘Constant Craving’ followed by a Joni Mitchell classic ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ [click on the link to Kinduco Youtube to see them in action].



Elspeth then got back on stage and sang ‘Fields of Gold’ followed by a Dolly Parton classic ‘Jolene’.

Joe MacAtamany then got back on stage to sing ‘Fancy Free’ and then ‘Jock Stewart’.

Bob then finished off with Elspeth and Kate as the Chicken Supremes, singing ‘Set Me Free’,’Gloria’ and ‘Another little piece of my heart’.

Whilst Bob cleared up the singers had a small jam session singing among other things the Fleetwood Mac song ‘Dreams’, before all heading homewards.
