Downstairs at the Mermaid turned out to be an excellent spot for a bit of troubadouring, so many a thank to Steve Brown for having the idea in the first place, for setting the whole thing up, and for organising and running it all so helpfully and well with the help of his team.
I’m guessing that by now there may not be any further audience reports (clearly everyone was emotionally exhausted) so I’m presuming to post my own self-regarding version of the setlist in case anyone who wasn’t there is interested. My list wasn’t quite as carefully laid out as when I’m working with that nice Mr Wallace, so I’m not entirely sure I’ve got the running order correct, especially for the second half when I was making some changes as I went along , but I think I’ve remembered everything I did. Please feel free to correct me if you remember it differently.

I hope my occasional fumbles didn’t impinge too badly on the spirit of the song; at least I hope they prove my performance wasn’t created by AI. (But then again, I suppose AI is clever enough to build them in, so watch out.) Special thanks to whoever it was who requested I bring along the National Steel, and apologies for my less than impeccable performance on it; I hope the novelty value made up for it at least a bit.
Big thanks yet again to everyone who came along and made up such a tolerant and generous audience.
