Babicz to Buddy

Back at the bar for the first time in 5 weeks and it seems I have another 5 to wait until I return, hmm.

Anyway, to the task in hand.

I thought the place would be quiet as a result of the gorgeous summer sunshine that had made a surprise return to this part of the world. Whether folk had spent their day in the garden and then felt like a trip to the pub or whether everyone was down to see the Big Fight, I'm not sure, but the bar was busy. In the lead up to the start of the boxing it just got busier and busier.

In the build up I began with those piano notes in Limerick's 'Where Love Lies' to gain some attention and move the mood over to some house tunes. Kept the Old Skool vibe with 'Reachin' before , very happily, going into Babicz's 'Bangaday'. Softened it a little with the summer vibe of 'You' by Plej before going back into the Techno with Jamie Jones, Steffi and Maya Jane Coles. 'Sweet Dreams' and 'Deep Inside' gave some familiarity. I felt this built up a fine atmosphere with the deep bass bouncing around the bar underpinning the increasing excitement and noise as everyone anticipated the big fight.

I got a break through the fight, so I was glad it went the distance. Kept it high tempo for a good fifteen minutes and then as the place settled back down swung the tunes back into happy party mode.

Last hour, as usual, some sing along stuff as folk made their way off to the nightclub up the street. Happy to fire off Betty Wright's 'Where is the Love?', Al Green and Sinatra's 'Cheek to Cheek' Before signing off with Mr Darin.

All in all a quick evening with everyone happy and the bar profits pretty high. Only loser on the evening being Mr Haye.
