Friday Night Is Music Night


Recommended Posts

There is something about this venue that lends itself to that "Friday Feeling", reminiscent of the old London Blue Skies and the Sunflower Lounge, you always feel that you are at a Party, it's always somebody's birthday with great music you know most of the people and there is no bolllotix. Just great music played by people who have taste and passion and the only played out oldie is me innocent.gif

The venue is really welcoming and friendly and even the first time I went I felt as if I was at home. Russ and Ray work hard to make everyone feel welcome and bring something different to the party every time. Last night was no different, handing over the decks to some lesser known faces and each and every one of them delivered with an obvious love and passion for their music. Something for everyone from my 60s girlie stuff, some great 60s northern and a selection of some of the best in modern/crossover OVO.

Hate to single anyone out but Pete Burton delivered at every level, bringing out one gem after another...........I did offer to swap record boxes with him but he wasn't having any of it..........wonder why :wicked:

This is what I kicked off the proceedings with:-

The Facinations - Say It Isn't So

Fontella Bass - I Can't Rest

Pearlean Gray - I don't Want To Cry

Friday Brown - 32nd Love Affair

Ronnie & Joyce - Catch Me I'm Falling

Candy & The Kisses - Mr Creator

Gigi & The Charmaines - I Don't Wanna Lose Him

Rozetta Johnson - Mine Was Real

Terri Bryant - When I'm In Your Arms

Liz Verdi - Think It Over

Linda Griner - Good-by Cruel Love (especially for Sian)

The Jewels - Gotta Find A Way

The Halos - Just Keep on Loving Me

Thanks again to Ray & Russ for giving me chance to play at such a great venue just perfect for that Friday night unwind, keep going lads :yes:
