Sandy started the evening off with a trio of songs ; ‘Reason to believe’, ‘Blue yodel no.9’ by Jimmy Rogers, and the classic ‘Fire and rain’.
First up to the stage was Andy Lindsay with ‘Must be love’ followed by an old 10cc song ‘I don’t like cricket’.

She was followed by Elspeth Durkin with Bob Leslie,

and then the Dylan song ‘Blind Willie McTell’ which he dueted with Willie Mathews

Willie then finished off the evening with ‘The lady is a tramp’.

By which time it was closing and everyone was asked to depart.
