We arrived in good time for the advertised 8:00 pm start to find the room still in darkness! But we put the lights on, got our guitars out and on their stands in readiness for everyone else turning up. We had both 6-string guitars and our new 12-string guitar with us tonight.
Dave Minikin, organiser and MC, got the night underway with a couple of songs and then worked his way through the other performers. With Val on the 12-string and Jimmy on 6-string, we began our first spot with 'Back Home To You' (Allan Taylor) and wow, the audience were well away, joining in heartily! Then we performed the the gentler 'An Acquaintance Of Mine' (Anthony John Clarke) followed by our own 'Different Dreams' which again had lots of joining in.
After a few more floor spots and a beer break Dave managed to go round the room again and asked us to finish off the night. We happily obliged with 'Maginot Waltz' (Ralph McTell) and 'Dream On' (jiva) - a lovely gentle end to a good, varied evening covering different musical genres.
