It’s an Unplug The Jukebox Special and how special it was and we all were.

We played Beatitudes Piece of Mind, Johnny Dark I like The Rain, In Darklight The Human Race, David Simnell and The Pumpernickles Let Love In.

Andrew Foster came in and enthralled  us with his music as well as his chat.

Mark “Smutz” Smith bought with him tracks by The Melodramas a rare acoustic version of Jackanory and The Lost Souls Club Romeo. He also gave an insight into how he his having great success in the far east with the many bands under his charge as well as his advice on how artists can maximize their gigs.

I recorded a cheeky little tune I just can’t get happy to round things off

All got our passports handy have we?!?!?

p.s. The eagle eyed amongst you may notice that I forgot to take pictures of the events so I drew a little representation…

Is This Thing On Podcast 62 Xmas Special Part One

It’s a big one this week enough to keep you going over the festive period as I will be taking a couple of weeks off.

I was joined by that nice Paul Lane from UnplugThejukebox and Doyle and Ben fromDoyle & The Forefathers who apart from playing a brand new song and an old favourite, join us in putting the world of music to rights.

I kick off with a very xmasie tune by the wonderful Salme Dahlstrom followed by Black & White Christmas by Isle of Mann band Postcode. The two “Doyles” then give us a brand new tune call Spend a lot of time alone from their soon to be released album which is then followed by Sometimes from The Lost Souls Club, then Pick up Sticksfrom Super Adventure Club. I then play the the tune that gave me the idea to do an xmas special in the first place We Three Kings by the glorious King Never followed by Paul’s choice Future at Last by the very excellent Woven Bird

That wraps up part one

I’ll be sharing my spot with Chalky Gravell and top drum dude Steve Christy. Other bands playing will be The Melodramas, The Lost Souls Club and Light Divided

The Brook  is located at 466 Portswood Road,Southampton

I will be on at 8pm with doors opening at 7.30

I seriously hope I get to see some of you there and if you can’t make it I’d appreciate it if you could spread the word for me, perhaps use that retweet button eh?

Normal podcast service will now be resumed….
