I’ll be playing at a small one-day festival, Bette Gandrup, at the start of August. It’ll be my second time there. The first was in 2018. Here’s my set list as it stands:
The Town I Loved So Well
The Bard That Sang Stromness
Soon to Be Sixty
Whiskey in the Morning
What Do We Do with a Drunken Sailor?
The Turquoise of Your Eyes
A Karen Blixen
Now Comes Another Year
The Fields of Athenry
Sunshine on Leith
Streets of London
Suzanne
Half covers, and half my own stuff. The only one of my own that I haven’t recently uploaded, both with a sung version and the lyrics, is here and here:
Now Comes Another Year
The day I met you, Ann, would be
the day that I began to see
I had to take a chance
and ask you for a dance.
You showed me such compassion that
I’d no choice but to cash in at
the bank of destiny,
forever you and me.
I wasn’t any longer wasting time
looking for a reason or a rhyme.
The bits fell into place.
It’s hard to understand you’ve really gone.
I can’t imagine how I’ll carry on.
I miss your cheeky face.
You meant the world to me, you know.
I couldn’t bear to see you go.
Now comes another year
of you not being here.
I wasn’t any longer wasting time
looking for a reason or a rhyme.
The bits fell into place.
It’s hard to understand you’ve really gone.
I can’t imagine how I’ll carry on.
I miss your cheeky face.
