Great weekend as always and sorry I missed most of what you played Carl...brilliant records. As you know I was next door in The Jim Wray Lounge the same time, sending a few people to sleep with some slower sides!

Some wonderful soul played in both rooms over the weekend and a privilege to meet, chat, listen, even a dance with the lovely Bernadette Bascom!..Well done again Pat, arranging for Bernadette to come over and for the new single, + others being released soon! 

Anyway here's my hours worth of slower 45s and hopefully some of the other collectors and DJs will also add a play list or two from the weekend. Cheers.
