4 songs at Open mic night

    • Behind the curtain
    • My only hero
    • The English way
    • Toast for one
Just back from holiday and a couple of weeks without playing the guitar. It was going well until I started, 'The English way' and the pub got too noisy, so I went with, 'Toast', ably assisted by Heather on BVs and a couple of the local guitar slingers doing some lead work.

3 songs at Open mic night

  • My mum, Alzheimer's and the care home
  • Funked up country
  • Ghosts
Love, Peace & Protest songs: Heather was MC and I was on the desk. It was 10-years since my first appearance at the Bells and this my 195th outing there, so I played my mum song, as I did back then on 05/02/13. I added a new topical verse in 'Funked' and finished with 'Ghosts'. Great night, here's to the next 10-years.

    • Get yourself a good time
    • Life's a race
Cold outside, but a really good turn out and a lovely evening of mixed music. A chance to revisit an old song, which I wrote in the 80's.

    • Tick tock
    • Scrapheap blues
It was a cold night and it took a while to warm the room. I had some fun with my two songs, accompanied by Laura on tambourine and I got the whole room to sing along with, 'Scrapheap blues'.
