Sandy’s Open Mic
Sandy, as usual, started off the proceedings with a Neil Young song ‘Heart of Gold’ followed by ‘Dead Ringers’ which was a Teenage Fan club song.

Bob Leslie was first up with a couple of his own compositions ‘Smell the roses’ and then ‘The devil ain’t a friend of mine’

Andy Lindsay was next to perform, singing ‘The things we said today’

followed by 'Statesborough Blues’ with some help from Willie Mathews on guitar and Michael Anthony on trumpet.

Sandy then got Elspeth Durkin up to sing ‘Autumn Leaves’ and then ‘Jolene’.
Tommy then got up to sing ‘Hazard Hollow and then ‘Ghost riders in the sky’.
Sandy then sang another song ‘Colorado Girl’ before handing over to Joe Kidd who sang ‘For the children’

and then [with some help from Bob and Michael] ‘Good Day’

[or as some of us know it - the eBay song]

James then got up and sang ‘I am not dead yet’ followed by ‘I want to dance with Emily’.
Joe MacAtamany then took to the stage and sang ‘Fancy Free’ and ‘ Lily of the West’ with his usual aplomb.

Newcomer Jordanne McBride [Jo] then got to the stage and performed ‘Broken Glass’ which was well received by everyone.

Bob Leslie and Elspeth Durkin then performed a Little Feat number ‘Dixie Chicken’

and were followed by Dennis singing ‘Saturday night’ with assistance from Sandy and Michael.
Kate McGee then got up and sang ‘I don’t want to wait in vain for your love’.
DESTINO were next on stage [Michael on trumpet and Carl on Bass] performing ‘I’m Gone’ amongst others.

Willie Mathews finshed off the evening by joining Destino and singing ‘No Woman, no cry’ followed by ‘The thrill has gone’

A superb evening with some fabulous musicians.
