Last night's gig down at the Northern Lights tended to be a birthday party for one of the girl's who works at the establishment, little Lina no less, who has become the events manager. Ville started the early two hour session as he has to be up early for work the next day, and I did the last two and a half hours. It was an all vinyl set, and I used a number of 45s I brought with me from Kent.
These are the ones I remember playing (in no particular order) -
Johnnie Taylor – It's Cheaper To Keep Her (Stax)
The Chimes – I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (CBS)
Randy Maverick – Pure Love (Serious)
Blondie – Heart Of Glass (Chrysalis)
Bob Marley and The Wailers – Kinky Reggae (Island)
Santana – She's Not There (CBS)
Booker T & The MG's – Slum Baby (Stax)
Marvin Gaye – That’s The Way Love Is (Tamla)
Mary Wells – My Guy (Motown)
B.D.M – No Rest For The Wicked (Freestyle)
Wild Cherry – Play That Funky Music (Epic)
Love Unlimited – It May Be Winter Outside (20th Century)
Trini Lopez – Gonna Get Along Without You Know (Reprise)
The Stance Brothers – Steve McQueen (Ricky Tick)
Letta Mbulu – What Is Wrong With Groovin' (Jazzman)
George McCrae – You Can Have It All (Jay Boy)
Earth Wind and Fire – Boogie Wonderland (CBS)
A Taste of Honey – Boogie Oogie Oogie (Capitol)
Honey Cone – Want Ads (Hot Wax)
Veda Brown – Short Stopping (Stax)
Staple Singers – If You're Ready (Come Go With Me ) (Stax)
Dennis Coffey and The Detroit Guitar Band – Scorpio (Sussex)
Love Unlimited Orchestra – Love's Theme (Pye Int.)

Third World – Now That We Found Love (Island)
Miami – Kill That Roach (Drive)

As things stand, I will probably miss March out all together and have another Brillo sometime April, as the times ahead a somewhat uncertain.

The Beer and Book Dissection
Feb. 15th, 2012 09:53 pmLast day in Brighton area for awhile, so I decided to make the most of it. I first took a journey in to Brighton to see Ville, but I stopped on the way in Saltdean to take a picture of the sea from the coast. Then walked from there to Rottingdean before picking up the bus again.
Met Ville in town and we had a carvery lunch , and then I popped into the Evening Star for my last few beers before coming back.
Today I started with a pint of the Dark Star Revelation (5.7 % ABV), followed by a half of the Westmalle Dubbel Trappist monk beer (7.% ABV) followed by a half of the De Graal Triple ale (9 % ABV), then back to the Dubbel and finally a half of Revelation.
Yesterday, before my gig, I had a pint of Brodie's Columbus (6.6 % ABV), which was free as it was the last from the barrel, and a pint of SWB Diablo (6.0 % ABV).
The usual crowd were there such as Nigel, postman Mark,Tony and Jersey Chris. The lovely Alice was behind the bar in her usual exuberant, kooky and frivolous manner. A performance poet who sees life as a drama and all the emotions with it, which she went through during the couple of hours I was a barfly. At times guffawing with hilarity , and then sudden melancholia wrapping herself around the other barkeep George.(Lucky fellow!). Much mirth was had as the ale flowed.
I also bought a few paperbacks , “The Book Of Universes” John Barrow (Vintage), Simon Reynolds “Retromania” (Faber) , and “Woody Allen” by Graham McCann (Polity Press).
Whilst in Brighton i saw a shop that would interest Mike, a malt whisky specialist in East Street.
Sold four books on Play which I will post off when I get back to Teynham.
