Thanks Carl, absolutely top drawer. Frank foster, f*ck me!

On the other matter, as I recall, "shaken not stirred" was the phrase when you showed it me. Terrible behaviour (and that's without mentioning the vocal accompaniment, 'live', to George Lemons). Absolutely pmsl

Bobby   Bland Yum Yum Tree

Limitations   All Because of You

Febulous   Peps Love Of My Life

Darrow Fletcher   My Young Misery

Carl, we're hugely reassured by your steadying influence mate; we're in safe hands with you at the helm. It's a winning formula!

I thought all the dj's were very good considering their age and lack of dress sense.

 

I exempt Joan from that obviously.

I'm putting me dad's suit on for August

Really peed off I could not make it. Ged was sulking after County got relegated, Julian B was away and I am not yet fit enough to drive that far.

Top stuff apart from G Lemons which is dreadful IMO.

Great list of tunes I really would like to go to the next one
