A Dander for Mary

Lynsay B. initially came to our notice whilst singing at the local bowling clubs regular karaoke nights. She is an attractive young woman with a good voice and since meeting her husband Mark, himself a performer, has been encouraged to work at her music. This hard work is definitely paying off as was proven on Sunday 21st when Lynsay and her new band performed at East End Park Dunfermline, for the celebration/ thank you party after the sponsored ‘Dander for Mary’.
Mary Lieshman a stalwart of local musical societies sadly died of cancer earlier this year. Her husband Jim, former Dunfermline Football Club icon, family and friends founded the Mary Leishman Foundation. Sundays celebrations were for those taking part in and supporting a 4 day sponsored walk raising funds for the charity.
Lynsay, Mark and their newly created band had their first official outing as the entertainment for the evening.
Lynsay and the band started the evening off and her play list was as follows Walking on sunshine, Torn, Other side, Black horse, Underneath your clothes, But I do love you, Mr Rock n Roll, This is the life, Turn me on, All the times I cried, Love Story and Umbrella. This very wide selection says something about Lynsay’s vocal range and ability.
Unfortunately the sound mixing was not all it should have been as vocals were frequently drowned out by the instruments, particularly the drums. This aside Lynsay put on a very creditable performance. One we hope we are able to appreciate soon.
Mark and the band were due to do another set after the charity raffle but as Geoff and I had to go off to the Stand in Edinburgh we completely missed out.
We would certainly recommend you look out for this talented couple in the future.
