Year 17 No 2 - October 1993
There was a good turnout of local and some not so local musicians and audience for the September meeting of the Carlisle Club in the Border Regiment Club in Carlisle Castle.
Guest for the evening, by popular demand, was Deirdre Adamson from Forfar who delighted the audience with a wide variety of music.
Year 17 No 3 - November 1993
A splendid evening of music was started off by Jimmy Mitchinson and Douglas Gemmell with a fine medley of popular tunes. William Little followed on the tin whistle. We then had a trio of accordion turns – Don Ferguson, Graham Harding and Joyce Halliday (duet), and Vic Turnbull – all playing in contrasting styles.
Sandy Gemmell then introduced the guest artiste David Vernon from Edinburgh, who played with amazing dexterity a variety of Scottish tunes intermingled with some splendid Continental music – not forgetting a certain Mr Mozart.
The second half of the evening commenced with Bob McBride (fiddle) and John Waugh (accordion) – lovely stuff. Norman Tolson (accordion) followed on by Bob Blacklock (accordion) and Albert Bell (mouth organ) and a return to the rostrum of Don Ferguson heralded the second stint from David Vernon, whom by now we had learned was originally a ‘Doonhamer’. Once again he showed what an extremely competent player he is.
