Bringing the first half to a close was Jim
Slaughter
with his brand new chromatic harmonica.
Great stuff. He played 'The Cuckoo' and rounded off with a short
medley. |

Paul Allen got the second half underway with
his own musical interpretation of a Yeats
poem called 'When You Are Old'. Then it was the
self-penned 'Golden Days'. |

Another new
song! Jim Wigfield
sang 'Shit Goes Downstream' and then 'Hello New Wrinkle'. Where does
he get them from, we wonder. |

Resident poet Ann
Lunam-Cowan
recited 'The Dog That Laid The Golden Egg' and then
Les Barker's 'Spot Of The Antarctic'. |

Going back a few years
for his first song Dave Anderson
sang Don McLean's 'And I Love You So'. Then he sang 'A Little Bit Of Me'
written by Ewen Carruthers. |

Chris Riley
sang a Davey Graham-ish version of Cyril Tawney's 'Sally Free & Easy' and a Slim Whitman blues
song.

Finishing
up the night
Ben Yeowart
was in great form as usual... he sang Dylan's Leopardskin Pill Box Hat'
with some of his own improvised words. Then he finished with 'Plastic Jesus' which had the whole room joining in! |
