Fife's Top Quality Singer

Sunday 1st May - Broxburn Bowling Club

This was my first time at the Club, and I was understandably nervous as to what I would find when I got there.  I never know where I will be setting up, what the crowd will be like, and the timings of my sets versus bingo etc.

it turned out I was performing in the main bar, just in front of the well stocked trophy cabinet.  It made me nervous, I can tell you.  The thought of knocking into a glass cabinet full of silverware, crystal and china trophies made my stomach turn.  I was advised that the act usually blocks off the corner of the room, which includes the Ladies toilet.  I decided that I would not be very popular if I did this, so Alan set up the equipment so as to leave a gap.

I had a couple pf mishaps with the equipment that night, including my music stand falling over (no one was near it) and the music suddenly stopping for no apparent reason.  I joked that there must be a ghost in the place who didn't like my singing!  That broke the ice a bit, and the crowd were quite understanding.

I had quite a few compliments at the end of the night, which I can listen to all night!
