Lots of these were played with a few additions from guests requests on the night,approximately half way through Gordon's brother did a wonderful job of teaching the audience some scottish dancing from Jimmy Shand and the Gay Gordon's and Jim Macleod with the Dashing white sergeant ,towards the end of the night the audience tried out Orcadian's Stop the willow although the standard had slipped because of the amount they had drunk!
