John & Gerry began the evening with a Beth Nielsen Chapman song ‘Sand & Water’ with good guitar and vocal harmony. Then came Gerry’s own song, and a Cramlington favourite, ‘Cold Cappuccino’ which had the Cramlington choir warming nicely for James Taylor's ‘You’ve Got A Friend’.

Next up was Allan Savage with three fine songs. First was an unaccompanied version of ‘Nicky Tams’ and then with banjo accompaniment, he sang ‘Cares Of Tomorrow’, finishing with ‘The Nightingale’ by which time the Cramlington choir were in full swing.

Dangerous Curves gave a fine mix of comic and serious song with close harmony singing, some guitar playing from Viva and an assortment of percussion accompaniment. There were songs from Richard Thompson, Show of Hands and Warren Zeavon as well as their unique take on life with their own lyrics to well known tunes. Friendly banter from the audience was handled very well and they ended the first half with a song about G strings, thongs and big pants all to the tune of 'Walking In a Winter Wonderland'! Great stuff.

After a short break John & Gerry opened the 2nd half with 'Singing Land' by Dougie MacLean and the Bessie Smith classic 'Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out'.

Then Allan Savage sang ‘Two Recruiting Sergeants’ (a request from Carol) and another Dougie MacLean song, ‘Caledonia’ with the Cramlington choir swelling the chorus.
