There’s a respectable turn out as Andrea gets the evening off to a lively start with “Closer To Fine”. Despite featuring on her album, it’s very rare that Andrea performs “Mister”, probably because it’s a ‘mood’ song. However, few who were lucky enough to be at The Farm in Anderby Creek on that balmy night in late September 2006 for the LCCSSC final will easily forget the fabulous stand-up rendition she gave of this song that night. Andrea then finishes off with her own “Long Gone”. Due to work commitments Mike has been up since 5 am., but despite looking pretty much out on his feet, he still manages to take us back to the heady days of the seventies with Nick Lowe’s “What So Funny About Peace, Love And Understanding?”. He continues with Walter Hyatt’s “The Georgia Rose”, a song that Mike sings really well, before rounding of with “Werewolves Of London”. Arnie’s up next with three of his original compositions. He begins with a fairly new song, “Family Nemesis” and continues with “Icon” before concluding another fine performance with his old favourite, “Apart From Their Hearts”. The Shantymen start out with John on steel guitar for “The Galveston Flood (Mighty Storm)” and he then switches to electric mandolin as the boys take to the break with a couple of instrumentals. Karl, Heather & Sean open the second half with “When Love Comes Over You”. Heather switches from tambourine to her spacey-sounding hang for “Waiting For The Light” and finally, Andrea and Easy are invited to join in on “Hold On” Tom Taylor does not write his own material but he does have a rich repertoire of covers. It’s another good mix tonight as Tom opens with Richard Ashcroft’s “Lucky Man”. He continues with Dominick Behan’s bouncy “McAlpines’ Fusiliers” before completing an excellent little set with Van Morrison’s “It Stoned Me”. Andrea, Karl and Easy accompany Steve on a delightful version of “You”. The same quartet follow up with a lively “Folsom Prison Blues” and then Steve is joined by Toby on accordion for “I Lost My Hat”. That just leaves time for the talented Sam Harrison to close the evening. |
