A very enjoyable evening, with a birthday party for Marlene going on in the background, 
Sandy started off the Open Mic Session with a couple of ballads - 'Flow' and 'Blackwaterside'. 
Michael Fagin was the first musician called up and he gave us a delightful rendition of a Neil Young song 'Heart of Gold' and then a Simon and Garfunkel song 'The Boxer', before rejoining the "party". Elspeth Durkin was up next singing Autumn Leaves with accompaniment on guitar from Bob Leslie, but accappella for 'Our Wedding Day'.
Jerry MacAtamany then sang 'Positively 4th Street' followed by 'What made Milwaukee famous'.
Sandy then played for Annie Fagin to sing 'Ramona' before getting 
birthday girl Marlene up, with Michael, to sing 'Over the Rainbow' 
and then , joined by Annie and Michael, wonderful harmonies with - 'Kiss me mother'. 
Sandy then sang a Jimmy Rogers number 'In the Jailhouse now' 
with some additional guitar by Bob,before getting 
Robbie, from Northern England, up to sing 'Dance me', 'Crazy', and 'Where the children play'. 
followed by Sandy and Bob [& the audience] with 'Honky Tonk Women' before getting 
Michael Fagin back up to give us 'The only living boy in New York' by Simon and Garfunkel. 
Andy Login had appeared by this time and he took to the stage to sing 'Good-hearted Woman' with some help on the chorus from Sandy, 
and then 'Games people play'. Andy then introduced a couple of lads from the Battlefield area -
Tony on vocals and 
Micky on guitar who gave us 'Ring of Fire' and then Fulsom Prison Blues'. Tony has a wonderful baritone voice which impressed everyone there, we hope they come back again.
Big Bob Leslie then finally took the stage and finished the evening - starting with 'Who do you love' in his usual full of gusto style, before a duet with Elspeth 
of the Little Feat song 'Dixie Chicken' and finishing off with 'How sweet it is to be loved by you'. A great evening, 
A short Jam session followed at Marlenes table!
