Here’s what I played last night/this morning at the New Untouchables do at the 229 Club, once I’d removed Milton from my record box. New Year’s Eve isn’t the time to be too clever or take too many risks, was just a case of whacking on crowd favourites to keep the floor packed. And besides, it was so bloody dark in there I was struggling to see what was in the box anyway. Hope those that went enjoyed it.

I just laid my hands on The Drifter's "If You Don't Come Back" last week after digging the Gary Walker & The Rain cover.........great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI'd totally forgotten all about that Walker version. Dug it out this morning for a quick blast - good stuff (apart from the flabby end).
