DJ Relay @ Bread & Roses 14th July...sign up here!

[Rob Hall]

Thanks Jamie, for organising this. Lovely to see people. El Andaluz were wonderful. Travis Perkins (who looked a lot like someone I know) gave good guitar, but I'm afraid he was somewhat overshadowed by his guest vocalist, who has a beautiful, beautiful, voice.

And I'd just like to say what a lovely pub the Bread & Roses is, long may it prosper.

Sorry we had to leave right in the middle of Travis Perkins' set just, I suspect, as he was about to hit his stride.
I bought this along to play but somehow it didn't get put out there.

It's Ann Cole doing Got My Mojo Working. I would be unsurprised to find that you all knew that her version predates Muddy Waters yet it's taken me all these years to stumble over this track - classy stuff.
Nice to say hello to some familiar faces........Thanks, as always, to Jamie.

Have been metaphorically kicking myself since last night for thinking that Springsteen in the mud and rain was the preferred option last night. And seeing Nikki singing so wonderfully too has just made me feel worse. Hoping it's not too long till the next time..

- "Maple Leaf Rag" - Kid Ory
- "La Paloma" - Flaco Jiminez
- "Alma de Cantaora " - Ampora Sanchez
- "Saturday Night" - Roy Brown
- "Man In A Hat" - The Klezmatics

Irene followed next with some lovely African tunes I'll get the titles of later, and then my choices were:
- "Mi Cholita Linda Flor" - Banda Conmoción (thanks to Julian)
- "Escoutas (Diga Diga Diga)" - The Carolina Chocolate Drops & Luminescent Orchestrii
- "Weekend Of End" - Matsuki Ayumu
- "Tzatski Kozatski" - Mickey Katz And His Kosher-Jammers

Mr Travis Perkins has asked me to pass on his thanks to Ms Nikki A for being the surprise vocalist on "The Weight", and the rest of his songs were:
- "Bella Ciao"
- "The Rose Of England"
- "The L&N Don't Stop Here Any More"
- "Carmelita / Save The Last Dance For Me"

A really great night was had by all, y'all.

[NormanD]

It's a pisser I couldn't make it - had a gig in Soho in the afternoon and my sister was in town and we needed to catch up. Next time.

[nikki akinjinmi]

Hello, I played:

Etta James - Tighten Up Your Own Thing
Sarah Vaughan - Take The A Train
Weather Report - Brown Street
(I played this Weather Report track before at another venue and remember Garth asking if Jaco Pastorious was playing bass on it, and I'm sure I told him that he wasn't on the recording, but Jaco is on it. Sorry for the misinformation. It's also a live recording.)

Thank you to Jamie and Norman - what the hell was I thinking when I said yes. Thanks for the kind reaction of the audience. Duo El Andaluz were really very good, and so were the musical selections.

P.S. Who chose the Rosco Gordon track - Just A Little Bit - I've been playing this version all day while I've been working, and even checked out a version by an Australian band called the Purple Hearts.

[Jamie Renton]

Who chose the Rosco Gordon track - Just A Little Bit .

That was me Nikki, glad you liked it. In return for my playing this, would you be willing to sing a song or 2 at our next Shout Collective session at Jamboree on 22nd September? (me? an opportunist?)

[will vine]

I wasn't going to bother putting my playlist up as it got a bit mashed up in the event but then I thought I couldn't deprive you all of the title of track 3.

Yekeke..........Oran Etkin
Got My Mojo Working...........Ann Cole
The Bongo That Ate Pik Botha...........The Ivory Coasters
The Scene of the Crime............Bob Brozman
Frog Legs..............Clifton Chenier
