Well they say there is a first time for anything, and at this session I morphed into a bedroom dj., a genre I have never been happy with. Basically either due to the football/the bank holiday/me !, the session was very poorly attended. There is little better than the buzz of jockeying discs/dealing with requests to suit the audience in a busy environment, but in this case neither applied as I may as well have been at home! This did not stop me however from getting on with it (I have seen 8 piece bands in the past still doing their normal superb show, even though hardly anyone was there). The evening therefore was very well mixed and mostly mellow, with no chance of building to any “highs”. However the recording is still with us, and apart from my complete lack of chat-a good thing !- sounds superb. It even gave me the opportunity to try a classic house mix, which was not quite perfect, but when I get it right at a future session one will be released as a download. In this respect the JAZZ ON A SUMMERS DAY mix that I undertook two nights earlier at TRACKS and GROOVES AT THE AFROBA came out ok and will be released as a download. Keep an eye on the afroba page on facebook for it or turn up for the next session for details. Do not be put off by the jazz word! It is not a four letter word!
The original intention for the night was to feature Curtis Mayfield, but the sudden death the day before of GIL SCOTT HERON, meant a change of plan, even though I had featured him at the February session.
So on with the playlist. The next session is on SATURDAY 24th JUNE with TRACKS AND GROOVES the Thursday following JUNE 30th. Also stick a note in your diary! for two specials in JULY on the 9th. and the 23 rd., as REGGAE STEADY GO comes to the afroba as part of the Outsidein Festival.
BCNU/Hopefully !-JIM

NO ROOM FOR SQUARES 13/04/2007
NO ROOM FOR SQUARES session 40, JAZZORISIT ON VINTAGE VINYL PLAYLIST, 13thAPRIL 2007. SECOND FRIDAY EACH AND EVERY MONTH. More playlists at www.jimz.biz…………………………………………………………………….
Well acker my bilks dan and scroobious. Well even though I say it myself a pretty good evening, with THE most interest in the tunes and me moving even further away from my tuesday night proper jazz listening evening. Now its groovin’ and fingerpoppin night. But what the heck a lot of jazz spirit is still there and who knows post the smoking ban I might try a weekday again as well as these Fridays to see if the spirit and the audience is still there. I had planned lots of tunes plucked from the new WAXPOETICS-marked WP- and managed a few, but cut back on funk britania tunes and played a lot of tunes for the first time with Stan Tracey’s Milk Wood being the featured lp., plus a little Compost label segment which was not planned but which just found their way onto the turntables. Drums seemed to feature more than ever and it is in the skins that most tunes do it for me. Speaking of which Dan from the Scroobious team was in the house and I wish them all the best with their superb “thou shalt not” single. Also beware at my next session of the trip on Saturday April 28th. I intend to play a lot of tunes by the artists namechecked in the single. Also I intend to produce my own single called “Thou shalt not cast record sleeves to one side unless the vinyl is removed”. So another one dusts the bite, now if only I could stop my mike cord getting tangled with the stylus arm I think I could make a go of this dj lark……BCNU DJ JD (aka jazzy jim)

TRIP 26/02/2011
THE TRIP AT THE AFROBA-WITH VINTAGE VINYL-NORMALLY THE LAST SATURDAY EACH MONTH-PLAYLIST FOR SESSION 71 ON 26th FEBRUARY 2011. MORE PLAYLISTS AND DETAILS AT www.jimz.biz, also JIM B. DONOVAN and AFROBA GROUP ON FACEBOOK, which you are welcome to join.
Well I thought I had better listen to the full recorded playback before making these comments as the vibe on the night, due to a much lower turnout than usual, did not seem to be there. However in spite of this the recording of the night gives hardly any hint of that, other than because the bar was not full I did not play as much “up” stuff as I would have done. The plot was to play lots of Gil Scott Heron, as the artist of the night, which I did, and pay tribute to Sir George Shearing, which I also did. The intended Detroit techno segment and the Tom Moulton disco tunes I cut back on, as well as the Jungle portions , although a few got on.
The next session is a week later than usual on APRIL 2nd., with it’s sister session TRACKS and GROOVES, two nights earlier, on THURSDAY MARCH 31st, so please spread the word and let’s get these sessions back up there again. Thanks for reading this and please visit my revamped playlist site, which now has at least 20 other playlists for the trip and my other nights, at www.jim.biz, just click on LINKS-Jimz Playlists-

Well we didn’t even need the tardis for this one. At the press of a button it was 1966 ish, with the Ricky Tick coming back to life after well over 40 years away. Martin Fuggles our guest dj., who last played at the tik 44 years ago took the evening to a high after 10.00, playing the tunes that shook the club all those years ago. Most of all thanks to all of you who came to make up our biggest and most receptive audience yet. I better not name check them all in case I leave someone out, but they are all pictured on Facebook either at CLUB RUDE, or Paul Anderson, or Jim B Donovan or the various links from those pages. We must mention Ali MacKenzie however who was with us with the Birds brand new single, a magnifico double “A” sided seven. Thanks also of course to Smiler-who put the theme together-, Dan and Keith for setting the mood. The next session is on March 17th., with loads more previous playlists and details at my new revamped site.
