Sandy started off the evening as usual with a couple of lovely ballads, ‘To live is to fly’ followed by ‘The Lark’.
First guest up of the evening was Bob Leslie who sang another couple of gentle songs ‘It’s all in the game’ which he had discovered that the tune had been written in 1914 by the vice president of the United States -- but the lyrics were added in the 1960’s. His second song was a new one of his own called ‘Her eyes’ a haunting little ballad.
Jer McDade was next up although he did say he was recovering from a hand injury [ which was why he had not attended the sessions for a while]. He did two of his relatively slow songs, ‘Mr Isbister’ and then a newer one ‘Moonbeams’.
Sandy then got back up to do a request ‘South Natural Blues’,
after which he asked Elspeth Durkin up to the stage, along with Bob Leslie on guitar.
She sang two of Bob’s favourites ‘Autumn Leaves’ and then ‘After the Goldrush’. Joe MacAtamany was next to the stage and he sang ‘Coorie Doon’ followed by ‘Fancy Free’.
Sean was next singing in an Oasis style, ‘Standing Strong’ and another which I did not get the title of.
Tony then got on stage to sing a Bob Dylan song ‘It ain’t me Babe’
Next up was Stevie Osbourne with Bob Leslie on guitar, to sing Eastender Blues. 
Joe then sang ‘Sam Hall’.
Allan Stewart was there, and he got up on stage with his mandolin, and sang a Rory Gallagher song ‘Going to my Hometown’ and followed it up with a singalong version of The Who’s ‘Magic Bus’.
Dennis then got on stage and did ‘Another Saturday Night’ with some added vocals from Sandy. Graham then sat up to sing the Oasis tune ‘Wonderwall’ played by Sandy on guitar. Bob Leslie then got back up on stage to sing ‘How sweet it is to be loved by you’
and then was joined by Stevie O singing his song ‘Good to be Alive’.
Carl Bridgeman had arrived by this time and he sneaked in to join the on Bass guitar. Robert then got to the stage to sing ‘Killin’ the Blues’ joined by Carl.
Joe then got back up and sang ‘House of the Rising Sun’ joined in with by a large number of the audience!!!
Stuart Workman then took to the stage along with Bob Leslie and Carl Bridgeman and they performed ‘King of the Swingers’ to which a few people got up to dance! Andy Logan then played guitar for Izzy and Amanda who gave a beautiful harmonising duet.
George then gave an unusual version of ‘The Time Warp’.
Final performance of the evening came from Carl with two songs - his own ‘Fate and Circumstances’
followed by ‘Mustang Sally’ with good audience participation. A good evening all round.
