31-Oct-09 Comrades Club, Whitley Bay

Another in the series of Saturday nights of music organised by John Jeffrey.

As always we got there early and had plenty of time to find space for the guitars and even have a bit of a sound check - Gerry Beldon provided PA for the night.

There was a canny turnout with two acts unable to attend being replaced by others who had dropped in 'on the off chance'. It was an eclectic mix ranging through unaccompanied, ukelele, banjo, accordion, harmonica, Northumbrian pipes, whistle and guitars with styles of music covering a diverse range of genres.

People generally kept to their schedules (well done John!) and so by the time we were up as the closing act there was time for four songs allowing us to get the audience smiling and singing to everything we did - verses as well as choruses! We played 'Back Home To You' (Allan Taylor), 'Different Dreams' (jiva), 'Some Way Home' (jiva) and 'One More Song' (jiva).

There were smiles all around and John thanked everyone for a grand night, giving Gerry one more song for bringing his PA.
