RUDE 20/01/2011

CLUB RUDE-THE THIRD THURSDAY EACH MONTH AT THE QUEENS ARMS, GREAT KNOLLYS STREET, READING. PLAYLIST FOR SESSION ON 20th JANUARY 2011. MORE AT www.jimz.biz and CLUB RUDE GROUP ON FACEBOOK.
Well for a late January session a superb turnout, with two fine ska dj’s-Pete and Martin- joining us for another session. About 80% of the tunes were written down, so a somewhat more comprehensive playlist than last month. Next month it’s “all change” again with Martin Fuggles, the original Ricky Tick dj joining us for a recreation of THE classic club. Come early for this one, because as well as all the original 60’s vinyl tunes, we hope to be playing some exclusive “live” recordings made at the RT.
Look forward to seeing you on FEB. 20th-Smiler/Dan/Keith /RamJim

TRIP 17/12/2010

The trip at the afroba with vintage vinyl session 69-17/12/2010. PLAYLIST and JIMS RAMBLINGS. MORE AT www.jimz.biz and JIM B. DONOVAN and AFROBA GROUP ON FACEBOOK…..
Well we ran with the session a couple of weeks early and on a Friday so the a bar was not as rammed as usual, but still full enough for a nice pre xmas vibe, where I chose not to drop too much xmassy stuff due to tracks and grooves at the afroba happening on the following thursday, and the fact that the session will get played back during January. Also I was not feeling 100% and closed down the session an hour earlier than usual. Of course the moment I mentioned this the bar filled up but I’m afraid I stopped anyway. The next session is on SATURDAY 29th JANUARY, where I drop lots of the top tunes I played during 2010, plus two nights earlier TRACKS and GROOVES on THURSDAY 27th, starts the new year with a wallop! Have a great chrissy and look forward to seeing you in eleven….

Well half a playlist is better than none, especially after last months lack of one. This really was a busy session and the usual problem of pens going missing due to Smilers great “Spot the Face” competition, meant that only half the tunes were written down. Dave- the rave-Edwards guested again and Don Hughes was with us signing copies of his superb “Friday On My Mind” book.

TRIP 27/11/2010

The TRIP at the afroba with vintage vinyl, Session 68-27th. November 2010, playlist and Jim’s ramblings. More at www.jimz.biz and Jim B. Donovan and Afroba Group on Facebook.
Standing room only and the bar nearly drunk dry!, plus me playing a few tunes just about sums up another very busy evening. However a quiet start where I got to drop some “winter” tunes, then a nice middle section “build”, then right “up” to end where we had to say goodbye at midnight. Kirsten and Jess really worked their socks off-if they were wearing any !-behind the bar, and so nice to see Liam and his mates in celebrating a birthday. The Mighty AC also was in the house fresh from his brilliant session Tracks and Grooves at the afroba, two nights earlier. His next session is on December 23 rd, so skip the late Christmas shopping and drop in to drop out!
The next session of the TRIP is on FRIDAY 17th DECEMBER, our annual Xmas special. There is the possibility that we may run with a New Years Eve session, so keep an eye on the posters in the afroba, or either join the facebook group, or attend the next session to keep in touch. Also don’t forget the recorded session 68 gets played back, all five and a half hours of it at the afroba during the week.

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!

THE TRIP AT THE AFROBA-NORMALLY ON THE LAST SATURDAY- WITH VINTAGE VINYL SESSION 66---25/9/2010. PLAYLIST and JIMS RAMBLINGS. MORE AT www.jimz.biz and FACEBOOK-JIM B. DONOVAN or AFROBA GROUP.

Variety is supposed to be the spice of life, and after last months ”focussed” jazz evening and next months Halloween special, I suppose you could say session 66 was pretty varied. I always start the evening with some plans in mind, but usually after a few requests we just seem to “go random”. Anyway that’s what the customers seem to want so who am I to deny them. It helps that I had 15 LP cases and 4 sevens boxes with me, which gives me the freedom to wander about! I started very focussed even keeping the chat down to a minimum, only checking the tunes about an hour and a half in and then going another hour an a half doing the same. After that when it got busy I did start to rabbit more, and of course I notice it more now as the recording picks up my chat, which it didn’t on the old mixer. Now I am leaving the spare equipment in situ you now have another “trip type” evening to get down to. The Mighty AC with his Tracks and Grooves is on the last Thursday. Also the new afroba FACEBOOK and THE TRIP pages are up and running so join the groups to be kept in touch with happenings. Next month we do our annual spooky session, a night earlier than usual so get witched-up, on FRIDAY OCTOBER 29th!-BCNU…Jim.

TRIP 28/08/2010

the Trip session 65 “no room for squares”-jazzorizit- special with vintage vinyl on 28th August 2010, Playlist and Ramblings. More at HYPERLINK "http://www.jimz.biz" www.jimz.biz, and Jim B Donovan on facebook…..
Well if you had said to me ten years ago, that I would still be playing out on a Saturday night at a packed bar in the middle of Reading, and playing “jazz” at that, I would have thought it was all a dream. However I think it happened in reality last night. The “plot” was to do a “Sod the Reading Festival “, special and revive my old “jazzorizit” night “No Room For Squares”. Let’s hope after last night that we can get the night back, as I am now able to leave my equipment in situ., and this has already lead to another night starting on the last thursday “Tracks and Grooves”, with the Mighty AC throwing the tunes on. However all good things have a downside. This one is that the equipment I am using is my spare kit, and is not quite, in my view, in spite of masses of testing, up to my normal rig. It seemed to get us through ok however , but I had a glitch with one turntable-that you would hardly notice- but the recording which I could not have set up right only recorded one channel, and that in mono. Plus every other tune has low volume on the playback. It might take some time therefore to copy it for the afroba to play back, and even may not copy well at all, so a month might go missing!
So nice to see a lot of regular faces, and new ones, especially the guy, who said he “had never been to a night like it”. I just hope that was a compliment! Plus lots of interest in the tunes and competitions. Also nice to see Nigel and his wife, who are involved with “jazz in reading”, it could lead to some “live” jazz at the afroba. Tim ibetya popped in towards the end, and photographed nicely for my facebook page. We also had some genuine reading festival mud in the place to add to the atmosphere!!! The night was dedicated to the late Abbey Lincoln, and the next session is back to “normal” on September 25th, with “Tracks and Grooves” the following thursday Sept 30th. Be there or be somewhere else!
