Wednesday night is music night at the Basky, and this Wednesday some of the guests at the hotel joined in (or I presume they were guests - they were just visiting the area, anyway).
Marek is from the Czech Republic, and he was singing in Czech, explaining: "This one is about bad weather - this one is about the Czech Robin Hood...." There were two violins in the mix last night - regular Tom and a visiting lady, and Marek actually had the music scores for them to accompany him on one of his songs!
The visiting lady said she would only join in with harmonies at first, but was persuaded to do a solo spot as well. Another lady, who usually performs at the Globe, sang one of her own songs and did a couple of duets with Rob.
Ellie contributed to the multi-lingual nature of the evening by singing a song in Africaans.
Another visitor borrowed a guitar (Bob keeps a spare one at the Basky just in case) - he sang one song that he usually sang at his local rugby club (so it was a bit rude!).
There was the usual mix of classic songs - the Elderly Brothers did a couple of numbers (that's Bob, who runs the evening and Pete in a duet).
I sang some folky stuff (and one SF song).
Bob and Ellie sang one of Dale's favourite songs that is not Elvis - I Shot Your Dog, which is a farmer apologising to his neighbour for shooting his dog by mistake!
And the evening ended with Dale and Joe dancing to one of Joe's favourite songs, I'm The King of the Swingers.
Next week, it will be completely different!
