Leyland Accordion Club - 20th September 2006
|
Our September ConcertSeptember was a guest artist night, so, as usual, it started with one of our local players, Ann Parker, playing Yodelling Polka, Hungarian Rhapsody and Beautiful Days. Our next player, Colin Ensor, then continued the music with More Than You Know, Autumn Leaves, Seth Davey, Rare Auld Times, I'm Sure Of Everything But You and I Won't Tell A Soul. Our final players before our guest artist were David Rigby playing Loveliest Night Of The Year, Daisy Bell, Highland Cathederal and Now Is The Hour and myself playing Blackpool Belle. It was now time for our guest artist Callum McKinnon to make his return to the club. Callum, who sings and plays a MIDI accordion, started his first session with a Scottish medley followed by You Made Me Love You, It's A Sin To Tell A Lie, You Are My Sunshine, Heart Of My Heart, It Doesn't Matter Anymore and Walk Right Back. After introducing himself he continued with The Power Of Love, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Deep In The Heart Of Texas, My Old Mans A Dustman, California Here I Come, Baby Face, Ma She's Making Eyes At Me, Knees Up Mother Brown, Do You Want Your Old Lobby Washed Down, Black Velvet Band, Wild Rover, Dark Island, Diana, The Clap Clap Song, Que Sera Sera, I'll Be Your Sweetheart, The Old Bull And Bush, Tulips From Amsterdam, Delilah, I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, Spanish Eyes, Arrividerci Roma, Lady Of Spain, O Sole Mio, Is This The Way To Amarillo, Scotland The Brave, I Love A Lassie, A Wee Dockin Doris, Donald Where's Your Trousers, Roamin' In The Gloamin and finally, to take us in to the break, Keep Right On To The End Of The Road. After the break, we settled down to listen to Colin Ensor playing The Maigret Theme. It was now time for Callum McKinnon to start his second half with Take These Chains, Only You, Your Cheating Heart, Singing The Blues, Lambada, The Music Man, She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain, Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr. Hitler, Doh A Deer, When The Saints Go Marching In, Match Of The Day Theme, Here We Go, It's A Long Way To Tipperary, Pack Up Your Troubles, Don't Dilly Dally, Oh Boy, Heartbeat, In The Mood, Bonny Banks Of Loch Lomond, Northern Lights Of Old Aberdeen, These Are My Mountains, A Gordon For Me, I Belong To Glasgow, Little Old Wine Drinker Me, It's Raining In My Heart, Telstar, Any Dream Will Do, Side By Side, What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For, Beautiful Doll, By The Light Of The Silvery Moon, Carolina In The Morning, Country Roads, Jambalaya, Crystal Chandelier, Country Roads, He's Got The Whole World In His Hands, Show Me The Way To Go Home and finally, to finish a great night, Auld Lang Syne. After a massive round of applause for a great evening of hard work and entertainment, Callum did an encore in the dark with all the lights flashing on his accordion. Once the lights went up at the end of his session, Callum was doing a roaring trade in CD sales. When he counted up, he had sold one to 50% of the room! It had been a great evening's entertainment, our voices were rough with singing along to the 75 songs Callum had played during the evening. The Priory Club asked to see Callum before he left and they offered him a booking to entertain their own members. We look forward to having Callum back at the club in future David Batty |
