Track List from 19th February

I'd bought a new hard drive and transferred the music to this one. This meant all my previous tracklistings and playlists had vanished. In general, this is a good thing and should probably be done annually. If you don't you get lazy and fall back on the previous gigs using the mixes and song selection from them.
Starting from scratch again forces you to do a bit more thinking and, hopefully, ensures you bring in some new tunes which helps freshen things up.
The pub was busy at 9pm mostly with the local football team and as the night progressed more older folk came in as the youngsters headed off for pastures new.  So a mix was needed that kept the youngsters happy but didn't alienate the oldies too much.

Pushed it a bit with Maya Jane Coles and then with Joris Voorn but on each occasion pulled it back quickly with some soul or disco before anyone felt it was coming too much like a club.

A bit of real old skool from Snoop Dogg, Eric B and Wycliff. Both passed the youngsters by, all too busy asking for Rihanna. Played Mark Cappanni's original version of 'I Believe in Miracles' and near the end Tim Burgess song 'We all need Love' from his solo lp because they were songs I liked. I had wanted to play 'My House' by Hercules and Love Affair but it distorts a bit at the start so went with 'Falling' instead which is just as good even if the vocal isn't as strong. Have to say that Teddy Pendergrass was stunning turned up loud. Will definately be playing this one again.

Virtually everyone headed off at midnight to the local Nite Club so the last hour consisted of some happy sing-along and some classics. Nice to play The Carpenters once again. Karen C's vocals sounded superb on the pub's sound system. New York to finish, as it was a request, then home.

Not back for a month, anyone looking for a dj in the next four weeks?. When I return it is to please a 40th that is booked in. Again any suggestions as to the songs that will keep this group grooving, smiling and drinking are welcome in the comments box. Especially if it a less obvious song.
Cheers
