THE Friday Boys are a disparate group of men spread across Tyneside who meet once a week - 'always on a Friday' - to talk about the arts, raise a glass to recently departed heroes and villains and, at the evening's end, down a whisky or two. The FBs have only one golden rule - talk of the working week is strictly off-limit.

The Station East, Gateshead - Tuesday night's set list
At the Station East, Gateshead: -
Out Of The Blue
The Road That You're Travellin'
Once An Angel
Never Let Her Slip Away
Albuquerque
You're Sixty*
Tell Me Why
I Don't Want To Talk About It
Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Things We Said Today
Returning to the Station East for another night of open mic fun, about a dozen or so punters and players filled the back room. The 2 hosts held the floor for the first hour, including an unexpected and very creditable attempt at Layla.
To much amusement, I introduced You're Sixty* by explaining how unseemly it would be of me to sing Johnny Burnette's classic with the original lyric You're Sixteen!!
