TRIP 29/10/2010

The trip at the afroba with vintage vinyl, SESSION 67-29th OCTOBER 2010, HALLOWEEN SPECIAL PLAYLIST and JIMS RAMBLINGS. MORE at www.jimz.biz, and FACEBOOK-JIM B. DONOVAN or AFROBA GROUP. NEXT SESSION ON NOVEMBER 27th
Well we moved the night one evening forward to coincide with the afroba Halloween fancy dress party, and boy was it a busy one, especially after 9.00, when the fancy dressers turned up en masse, check the facebook photos! The plot for me was to get as much halloweeny type music in as possible as well as pay respects to Mr. Scruff for his great gig in reading recently. When he popped into the shop I presented him with a set of 8 afroba cd’s, so watch out in future for afroba type music turning up in his sets. The afroba staff spent ages decorating the place, which together with some of my horror posters and Elvira in the window really caught the atmosphere. I also laid on some Horror-and a few others!, SUPER 8 films, which we had given a shot at, at the previous nights new session TRACKS and GROOVES, which you must get down to on the last Thursday. Towards the end we got into a little reggae/ska music to pave the way for Neville Staples of the Specials gig on Halloween itself, at which I drop yet more tunes, and show more films! So onward and up ward to the next session, with news then of our Xmas specials-Yours, Count Jimula.

Well only two discular jocks in the place for this session as Dan and Keith could not make it, so Smiler and Jim decked it on their tods. A fairly busy evening, with Jim also providing horror films on super 8 to add a little Halloween atmosphere, and Smiler with his little shop selling items he has been involved in or compiled. Jim has now sold 20 copies of the Alan Bown book, and still has more copies if anyone wants a jolly good read about a 60’s working band who were in all the right places back then, at a tenner it’s a bargain. Smiler limberd up for his session at Hip City two nights later, and Jim paid tribute to Solomon Burke.
