"First act was The Lying Scotsman who were
a good act to kick things off. Some fine acoustic guitar playing as
I recall and a good choice of songs including covers of Great Big
Sea and Chumbawamba songs. Jessi Adams of Eastfield sang and played
acoustic guitar on a couple of songs with them and that was great to
watch too and made it my 6th gig with Jessi as well as the 9 with
Eastfield." |

postscript of an email to Fiona from
Mr J Porter of Blyth Power

his fine taste in music... |

SLIMMER KARL, BIGGER BAND
"Following
last years performance, Karl Robins made a welcome return to Bedford
Park. He'd lost some weight, but gained some friends with additional
vocals and bass giving Karl's music a fuller sound.
The Cafe crowd enjoyed
a great performance from Lying Scotsman, but I'm not too sure on the
name though, I thought Karl was from south of Hadrian's Wall." |
| - well,
you can't please everyone all of the time, can you?
We think Karl's a nice name. Review of the
Bedford Stepping Stone gig, August 20th. |

"...I just want to say a very big thank
you for all you did for us on Sunday. The performance by The Lying
Scotsman was spot on, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it." |
