miss you so-tiny topsy

im gonna do it by myself-jimmy ellis

i believe-bertha tillman

spoiled child-gary brown

funky soul stroll-jesse johnson

lend me your hand-kindly shepherds

back up baby-sophisticates

my tears-buddy lamp

when love goes wrong-lou rawls

18 tunes in 40(ish) minutes..... who would have thought it?

we always seem to hear really great music in this room - X-Ray Soul & Go Go Children were great, and I'm sorry I had to bail out before the end for the long drive back (can't believe London traffic is still pants on a sunday evening!)

it was really nice to be asked to contribute a few tunes.... hope we get to do it again

ah yes ,can remember coming up and asking bout the nick waterhouse tune as its a john s spin...nice set there...not a warm up dj at all mate!...agree with london traffic but we knew what to expect as wed been before
