The trip at the afroba SESSION 75, with vintage vinyl-25th June 2011, PLAYLIST.
Right lets get the plugs out of the way first. This session, now in year 8, is always on the last Saturday. Tracks and Grooves, one year young, with the Mighty AC is always on the last Thursday. Both are vintage vinyl nights, and the music covers the 1940’s almost to date!. Mostly it is club music, jazz, black dance music, lounge! but often wanders off into indie, pop, and rock depending on the mood and the crowd. Also this evening is recorded and is played back during the month following. As a result of this some downloads are available on the AFOBA Facebook page which you are very welcome to join. Dozens of playlists for this and my other evenings are at HYPERLINK "http://www.jimz.biz" www.jimz.biz - just click on jimz playlists. Plus as part of the Outsideinside festival two extra sessions are here during JULY on the 9th and the 23 rd. They are titled REGGAE STEADY GO and celebrate on vinyl 50 years of Jamaican music, with Caribbean food available as well. They both run from 4.00 to Midnight.
Ok back to the session, somewhat busier than last month, but still needing a few more attendees to get it back to how it used to be in the old days! Gil Scott Heron was featured again, as were some Glastonbury artists, and I managed to avoid the Wombles. Plus I had completely forgotten it was the second anniversary of Michael Jacksons death, so when I was reminded a few tunes went on. Nice to have Ralph and his friends in the house and Jason and Helen from Hampshire who came a distance and stayed over in Reading as a result. I had been playing out the night before at the Town Hall as part of the 60’s exhibition, so was a little jaded, but because the bar was not packed I was able to keep the evening fairly cool with not too much “ up “ stuff.
So on with the playlist, which if you are reading this before the Doubledot bash at South street on JULY 2nd. includes a few tunes on this playlist that get a replay there as the Mighty and myself are representing the afroba in the main room between acts.

RUDE 18/05/2011
CLUB RUDE-PLAYLIST FOR THE SESSION ON 18th MAY 2011.
HELD AT THE QUEENS ARMS, GREAT KNOLLYS STREET, READING, EVERY THIRD THURSDAY. MORE PLAYLISTS AT www.jimz.biz
Well another busy sesh, with Smiler, Dan, Keith and Jim back on the steels of wheel.
A bit of a change to the layout however as we have now lost the back “club” room, and are situated in the front bar. This means we have lost a little of the club ambience, but we think with a little more “tweaking” we can get some of it to return in future. Talking of that the next session on JUNE 16 th. is our 8 th. Birthday, so onward and upward.
Don paid us a visit again selling copies of the second volume of his book, and he will be appearing at the Museum/Town Hall on JUNE 24th., reading segments from the first volume. That will be followed by another session (of a 60’s disco!!!) in the 3’B’s, next to the museum. The one we undertook in May after Dorothy Shermans talk was quite well attended, and the Museum apparently has broken all attendance records!
BCNU hopefully on the 16th.
