Anthony John Clarke is always popular at Cramlington and there was a good crowd in including friends of ours, John Twist and Yvie Wilkinson and her daughter Haylie and also Terry and Catherine Ferdinand. We're always telling people if you ever get the chance to see Anthony John Clarke then don't miss the opportunity and this was a first for some of them.
Anthony John and his friend John Leigh were staying with us for two nights and we all turned up at the Club in good time for a sound check with John Richardson who was on the sound desk tonight.
In support was us and Geoff Pickard and it was Geoff who kicked off the night with four songs. We followed with four of our own: 'Different Dreams', 'When', 'Some Way Home' and 'One More Song' and it was great to hear the 'Cramlington Choir' gustily joining in on the choruses.
Then it was time for Anthony John's first set and he never disappoints. He was on great form and enjoyed by everyone. At the break there was the obligatory raffle with the prize of a bottle of wine or an Anthony John Clarke CD.
For our two songs in the second half we sang 'Two Old Friends' (Chris Simpson) and our own 'Best Friends'.
Then it was time again for Anthony John and it was a superb second half to the night... no-one wanted it to end. An Anthony John Clarke gig is a special phenomenon... we always come away feeling much refreshed and revitalised.
