It's been ten months since we last visited this club - where does the time go?
It was a blustery, rainy night... but we decided to brave the elements and visit South Shields for one of their rare singers nights... the weather had no doubt kept a few cosy at home, but it was nonetheless a good night. There was the usual mix of unaccompanied traditional and classic songs, flute playing, blues guitar and (of course) the gentle jiva blend, all mixed together with lots of humour and good natured banter.
We were the final act in the first half and also finished the night at the end of the second half. For our first two-song slot we did 'Love At The Five And Dime' (Nanci Griffith) and 'Best Friends' (jiva), both of which went down well with lots of joining in on the choruses. Our closing set was 'Back Home To You' (Allan Taylor) and 'Silent Night' (Christmas Carol) - again there was lots of singing.
A canny night - just the way to banish those rainy day blues!
