It was a singers night at Cramlington and there was a good crowd there - organiser/MC Keith Taylor got things underway at 8:10 pm announcing that the list for performers was now closed as there were already more than enough in the room to easily fill the night.
As always at this club there was a variety of styles (mostly contemporary) and the standard was good - by the time we were on (sixth in the first half) we'd had old time Americana, bluegrass, blues, singer/songwriter, humour, chorus songs, sad songs, jokes... we started with 'Jimmy's Song' (Allan Taylor) and then did 'Yorkshire Romance' (CJ Rowe).
The night carried on with even more variety, some people stepped down to give latecomers a chance to play and the night finished with the customary 'big band everybody playing together' melee.
We'll be back there doing support for Anthony John Clarke next week.
