A meet this evening with the Exec Producer for some drinks and lovely pasta followed by a walk across Edinburgh to a significant area in our history, St Mary Street - and the Waverley Bar...

A celebration this evening for Nelson Wright, seen here in the centre of the pic...


Many old chums from our days, or rather nights, at Edinburgh songwriters' club Out of the Bedroom were in attendance...

Some brief performances took place...

Your correspondent kicked the night off with a rare "from memory" rendition, managing to recall all chords and words for "Twenty Twenty Vision" (pic courtesy of Jim Igoe - discovered on the Fleecebook 2018-09-26)...


Further short performances ensued from Miss Fi and Fingers Farrell...


Norman Lamont...



...and Impossible Songs...





...before a scheduled folk band took over the reins...

Other well-remembered attendees included Jill Hepburn, Andy Fuzzy Star Thomson and partner Erica, Tommy and Carolyn Mackay, Jim Igoe, Scott Renton and a Sawmill Buddha...




The Exec Producer enjoyed the evening...


Good chat with Andy Thomson, including discussions on Taylor Swift...


...and with Scott and Jim on Edinburgh music related stuff...


...and we chummed Jill to Waverley Sationon the way home...



A good night, which left your correspondent a little bit the worse for wear...

Highlight of the Day : Performing and catching up...

Great to see you and Ann there and of course some of your fine photo journalism and a tune. Sorry I didn't get much of a chance to blether and that we headed of early for the long bus ride back to Fife. We all need a catch up sometime soon. Open to dates and ideas.
