Next Legends gig ~ 11 November

20th Elsinore gig

A view of Whitby.

Our annual Lunchtime Legends gig took place on 24 August during Whitby Folk Week in the Elsinore on Flowergate, our 20th in this venue.  It went down well; it was so hot in this small pub that after our 34-song set, I looked as though someone had poured a bucket of water over me. It was good to have Jez Lowe joining us again on bass, and the great Pete Coe opened for us with a very dirty-sounding distorted guitar, singing songs like I Hear You Knocking, I Fought The Law (And the Law Won) and the Kinks’ song Superman.

Although we had no new recordings, we sold 4 CDs - and even 3 old-fashioned cassettes, believe it or not. Candy Rell’s rendition of the Dusty Springfield classic, You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me, got the whole pub singing. Hi Ho Silver Lining and Your Sixteen finished our set as always; the one time we did Hi Ho half way through, they wouldn't let us go until we played it again at the end!
