Top 5 This Weekend


Len

Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,

I know plenty of people enjoy reading play lists, but rather than just peoples' play lists, thought it would be of as much interest if people post their top 5 sounds that they hear played out over a weekend (and where you heard them)

So, take your 'Little Black Books' with you (ok, your phones!) :D and please share with us what made you take notice / or simply enjoyed hearing once again this weekend.

I'll look forward to reading them next week.

Have a great night out wherever you go :wink:

All the best,

Len :thumbsup:

I didn't realize the price had gone up. You can buy a download for about £8.99. Great CD including Golden Time of Day by Kem and Happy Feelings by Ledisi

Richard Marks -  Did You Ever Lose Something.

Katie Briggs - Last Time Around.

The Honey Bees - Let's Get Back Together.

There's a reason why some tunes are particularly popular. Maybe also explains why some are being picked up by advertisers. 

That Dee Dee Sharp track is a real banger (= I'm liking it a lot at the moment). :thumbup:

Plenty going on this weekend - I've been told I'm camping in my garden with my daughter, so not a lot of soul for me. If my Son joins us he'll be playing 'Slipknot', so not so sure most of you will want my weekend's Top 5 next week :D

Have a great Easter where ever you go.

All the best,

Len :thumbsup:

I remember Rod Allsworth and Jimmy Scriv double decking at Morecambe 2 years ago playing that Moments tune - had the floor packed. And the Barbara Lynn track would be great to hear played out ... looks like a lot of good events happening down south :thumbsup: apart from that Slipknot tent special :ohmy:
