Martin took MC duties as we returned to a regular singer's night. We began with Stuart & Pete with The Cat Came Back, Ukulele Man and Cigarettes And Whisky And Wild Wild Women, then our other Stuart sang The Lakes Of Pontchartrain, Blues Run The Game and Worried Man Blues followed by Carrie with Sunshine On Leith, Wild Mountain Thyme and Who'll Sing Me Lullabies? Our first Sue sang Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?, Killing Me Softly and Yesterday, Paul marked Holocaust Memorial Day with two of his poems, I Am The Firemen and Validation plus The Aga Khan then we welcomed a new face, John, who played some lovely fiddle tunes, a medley called When Matilda Waltzed To Shetland, his own The Lockdown Reels and another set featuring a lament, a Strathspey and a reel. Martin did With God On Our Side, Go To Work On Monday and Jackie Wilson Said, our second Sue sang Dream A Little Dream, Ukulele (to the tune of Hallelujah) and House Of The Rising Sun (this one about a pub!), then Bob gave us Bear Creek, Tina Louise and Call Me The Breeze. Jennie made a welcome return and sang a wassail, Cam Ye O'er Frae France and read her own poem The Cold Moon, we had more poems, both by Pam Ayres from Suzanne with Cling To Me Nigel and Valerie with Walk With Me For A Perch And A Rood and David moved from the audience to performer with Paul Simon's Duncan and Donovan's Colours.

We started the New Year with a singaround, with Pete as MC. There was the usual mixture of songs, including a couple of wassails, and a few performances and poems.
