John Redpath got the night underway with 'Waiting For A Train', 'When I Get To The Border” and 'Vestapol'. Next up was Ken Cross with 'Sunshine On My Shoulder', 'Early Morning Rain' and Eric Bogle's 'Little Gomez'. We then had John and Dave with 'Where Are You Tonight', 'Love The Way You Love Me', and John Denver's 'Ponies'. Allan Savage sang 'Gallawa Hills', 'Aye Waukin' O!' and 'Air Falalo'. Next was Jim Wigfield with three of his own songs 'Changing The World', 'Happy Clapping Song'. He then had everyone making chicken sounds with 'The Chicken Song'. To round off the first half Gerry Tapscott sang 'Cornflower Blue', 'Once In A Very Blue Moon' and 'Clouds.'

John Campbell got the second half off to a great start with 'Louisiana Blues', 'It Takes A Lot To Laugh And A Train To Cry', and 'Rooster Blues'. Jimmy and Carol, joined by Peter, were next. They sang 'Katy Daley' (enter John Redpath on double bass), Donovan’s 'Catch The Wind' and 'The Pilgrim'. Dave Anderson was next with 'We Talk But We Don’t Communicate', the Ewan Carruthers song 'Back To The Borders', and 'I Never Meant to Make You Cry'.

We then had Ken Cross back for a couple of songs before Gerry and John closed the night with two more.

It was a night of very good music with some fine songs which had the choir in great voice.
