The second Jukebox 7”s night at the Elixir Bar in NW1
last Friday was good fun, not least for Long John McNally, Miles Macleod,
Elliott Marmaduke Jones and myself who got to play a pile of our favourite
records, drink ourselves into a stupor, and listen to a geezer with tattooed hands tell us about his mate Eric Burdon and going to see The Animals at The Downbeat Club in Newcastle.
As before, the idea was to not be too
obscure but play a mix of stuff to create what one might hear on a particularly
well stocked jukebox. I think we achieved that. My contribution is listed
below. Have very little recollection of that final set bar The Smiths and Glen
Campbell so this list is as much for my benefit as yours.

Great stuff, like you cracked open my head (or more realistically my iTunes folder)! "Weed Bus", wow, takes me back to playing football in the parking lot of a dive club on a Sunday night with Jed and Chas Smash when The Stairs toured the States!
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like a match I'd have liked to have seen!
