Top 5 This Weekend

[Len]

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!)  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 

All the best,

Len

For a rare change, I went to two events this weekend. Not NS dos, but I enjoyed hearing these:

• Patti Jo - Ain't No Love Lost
• Mary J. Blige - Before I Let Go
• Jay King - Good Kinda Lovin
• Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway - Back Together Again
• Michael Wycoff - Looking Up To You

 

 

[Mickey Finn]

The Mary J Blige tune was a really pleasant surprise when I heard it first time - very respectable remake. Haven't made up my mind about Jay King yet...

But I don't get out much

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). 

[Girdwoodinc]

A few from Aberdeen Soul Collective on the 1st that got the juices flowing

1. Ascots - few feet from the gutter
2. Sly, slick & wicked - your love was meant for me
3. Sensational Five - it's hard out there
4. Sampy and the bad habits - stick with me
5. Johnny McCall - I need you

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 

Have a great Easter where ever you go.

All the best,

Len
