Bob started off with a large selection of songs including ‘My old friend the blues’, May you never…’ and ‘Mr Beaujangles’ with a comment that nobody could ever beat the Sammy Davis Junior version! There were a number of German guests in and at their request Bob sang ‘Caledonia’ - which resulted in the floor being taken over by the visitors getting up and dancing with some of the ‘locals’!
Bobby [a different one] then took to the stage to perfom some wonderful finger-picking with his own composition ‘Ragtime’ inspired by Scott Joplin music from the film ‘The Sting’. He then did another couple of songs ‘Billy and the low ground’ and then a Neil Young song ‘Old Man’
Bob then asked Elspeth Durkin to join him singing ‘Autumn leaves’ and then ‘Summertime’, and then as a duet ‘Dixie Chicken’. Bob then continued with ‘Fulsom Prison Blues’, ‘Halleluiah’, by special request ‘Ring of Fire’, and ‘It ain’t me babe’.
Bobby then came back to the stage with Bob and they did ‘Honky tonk Woman’, I used to love her’ and then ‘Mrs Robinson’. Bob carried on with ‘the devils right hand’ and then ‘Who do you love’ - all with a constant stream of people up dancing in front of him. Davie Martin suddenly appeared and sang’ Handbags and Gladrags’ before disappearing again…… Elspeth got back up with Bob and sang ‘Will you still love me tomorrow’ and then ‘After the Goldrush’. Bob finished off the evening with ‘Tracks of My Tears’, ‘My girl’, Can’t run, hide, run’, ‘Crossroads’ and finally, with some backing vocals from Elspeth, ‘The Mighty Quinn’ and ‘Gloria’.
