Other performers and songs included Paul Brooks; Tougher than the rest, Waitin' on a Sunny Day. Mike Drew; Atlantic City. John Lindley; The River, Dancing in the Dark. Dave Boothroyd; Because the night, and a new poem. Jane Harland with autobiography readings. Dennis Eborall; If I should fall behind, No Surrender. Glyn Roberts on keyboard with Factory, and Thunder Road. Gordon Gunn; Pink Cadillac, Downbound Train. Helena Dugdale; My Hometown, Streets of Philadelphia.

Cherie Pingel-Tuffin performed two original poems for the night, and David Tuffin read lyrics from three of Bruce's songs. Lennie Munday performed The War Nurse, and House of 1000 Guitars. Christine held a Bruce-themed quiz, and the music technician for the night John Miller performed Sleepy Joe's Cafe.
