We were really pleased to be asked to play at the wedding celebration of John and Janice who had seen us at the Comrades Club in Whitley Bay. They originally requested the day of the wedding but we were already double booked that day (Ingleton and Morecambe), and they were thrilled that we could do the following day instead when they were having an informal get together at home with friends and family.
What a great day we had - even before we arrived, the emails and phone calls made us feel really welcome. As soon as we got there we were treated like old friends or part of the family... super! There was food and drink a-plenty and we were invited to help ourselves to whatever we wished (we kept to non-alcoholic beverages!).
Playing acoustically in the bay window area of the lounge we decided to do short sets with time in between for food and chat etc. We started with 'Back Home To You' (Allan Taylor), 'Different Dreams' (jiva) and John and Janice's favourite 'Some Way Home' (jiva). Next set was 'Love At The Five & Dime' (Nanci Griffith), 'Two Old Friends' (Chris Simpson), 'Dream On' (jiva), 'Yorkshire Romance' (T J Rowe), and 'When' (jiva). For our last spot we did 'Louise' (Paul Siebel), 'Some Way Home (jiva) again and finished with 'One More Song' (jiva) to leave everyone singing.
Absolutely great! We loved it... and John told us that it would be remembered for years as a really special day... he emailed us to say that everyone thought it was great and were still talking about it... wow!
