We had a very strong song ownership in my first club, to the extent where, if the particular singer wasn't in, their songs were not done.

There was one chap who had a repertoire of 12-15 songs per club. He'd do 2 sets of three, alternating weeks, but as he went to more than one club, he would do different sets at each. It got to the point where you could almost say to yourself 'It's "Grey funnel line", so it must be the 2nd Tuesday at the Sunray', or 'It's the 3rd Wednesday at the Kingswood so it's "Last thing on my mind"'. Those songs became 'taboo' for anyone else, and when the singer, Wally, died, no-one did them again for years.
