Shootin' stars presents an evening with Mark Charlton

By 16:52:00 , ,

Last night, I went to Shootin' Stars social evening in Quedgeley, Gloucester where we were very fortunate to be joined by the lovely Mark Charlton as our live music act for the night. Unfortunately, I'm still not dancing as my sprained ankle is proving to be very slow to heal but I still enjoyed the evening and singing along with Mark (Regular readers might have noted I do that a lot!).



This was the first time I've seen Mark perform and he has a lovely singing voice which you can hear for yourself in my video further down this page. He also has an absolutely beautiful guitar as you can see in the photo above, it's one of the nicest ones and most unique ones I've seen in a live music act.

Back to the music, Mark did two sets during the night with the majority of his songs being from the country genre which his voice also really seems to suit. His sets included both more recent line dance tracks such as heavenly cha and gypsy queen and also some slightly older ones such as half past nothin' and people are crazy which certainly kept the dancers on their toes as they tried to remember them.

Here are all the tracks from Mark's sets:

Set 1:
All week long (Seven nights to rock)
The real deal
Lay low
I wanna dance with you
I see you
Tempted
Half past nothin'
People are crazy
Strip it down
Is it friday yet?

Set 2:
Talk is cheap
Lamtarra rhumba (to Here comes my baby)
Sinatra & Chardonnay
Corn don't grow
Heavenly Cha
Closer
Disappearing Tailights
Messed up in memphis
Vertical expression
Gypsy queen
Triple mix
Boat to liverpool
This is me
High class lady
Big blue tree
Borderline
Before the devil
Places
Honkytonk life
Somebody like you
Memphis love

If you'd like to see Mark singing, here is a video I took of him performing 'Places I've never been'.


I had a really lovely time last night, there was a really nice atmosphere, lots of dancing and I enjoyed listening to Mark sing. I just hope that next time I will get the chance to dance to his performance so I can enjoy it even more. Thank you Mark and also thank you to John & Jackie of Shootin' Stars for a great evening as always.
