CLUB RUDE at the Blagrave Arms, Reading, with vintage vinyl. Playlist for 18th March 2010, and Jim’s Ramblings. More at jimz.biz and Jim B Donovan on Facebook….
Another session with another excellent guest DJ. Martin Weller took to the decks in skatastic style, and I have done my best for once to try and separate out most of his tunes below, if only for pete’s sake. We had another good turnout which was slightly skewed towards the male of the species, possibly due to Smilers facebook flyer photo. Keith from the Fleurs joined us together with dj dj, and I found the evening due to my old age a little loud, so I had to keep popping outside for a chat. It sounded great out there! Pete and friends all the way from Swindon also joined us, so thanks for making the trip. Smiler had his shop full of goodies set up, and Dan complemented Martins tunes, leaving Smiler and myself to concentrate more on the r and b /jazzy side of things. I just had to drop some Cherry Wainer, and slip into a cravat in respect of her clips on You Tube, and pay respects to Charlie Gillett and Alex Chilton of the Boxtops. The evening was dedicated to Jimmy Cliff, who is only the second Jamaican to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. Keith could not make the session but we hope he will be back with us on APRIL 15 th. BCNU, hopefully-Jimbo
