30th June at The Dog and Badger
22:17Martin B treated us to Paul Simon’s Homeward Bound and Bonnie Rait I Can’t Make You Love Me, whilst I (as Martin J!) performed the blues classic Stormy Monday with Dave accompanying. I finished the evening with the original version of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails.
The evening also saw a few laughs, not only at Roger and Karen’s brief preamble before Kate Wolf’s Medicine Wheel but Doug and Roger’s conflicting harmonies during Bring us a Barrell! Dave’s self-penned The Little Sardine had us in stitches at the toils of the poor unrecognised fish, whilst Terry gave us a hilarious parody of the blues... “who says the third line has to different at all?!”. John sang us an entertaining new take on The Who’s classic Pinball Wizard. I also provided some amusement with Flight of the Conchords’ Most Beautiful Girl in the Room.
We also heard:
Dick: The Innocent Hare – Trad, Limehouse Lass – Trad.
Terry: Have you got a Biro I could borrow – Clive James and Peter Aitkin
Karen and Roger: This Old Town – Janis Ian and Jon Vezner
Rosie and Alan: Tar Road to Sligo & Blarney Pilgrim- Trad., Blame it on the Sun – Stevie Wonder, The Shasheen & Pigeon on the Gate - Trad., Don't Let It Bring You Down – Neil Young
Dave: Smuggler’s Moon – Original
