The Old Nun's head & the Old Bill gets wed

My first night at the Old Nun's head was marvellous - I was in a Northern Soul kind of a mood to begin with, bringing in some classic hip-hop, rock n roll, 80's synthy stuff, boogaloo, blues and pretty much anything else I had the ear for. I always like it when people come and ask me what a particular tune is, then I know I am on the right track.

The easy generosity and friendliness of the bar staff nearly killed me with kindness - decongestants and a seemingly endless wine tab (and most crucially, combined with a infantile lack of discipline on my part) was not the best mix.

so, I hope my music spoke for me when I could not.

Here's a small selection from the start of the night.



On the Saturday we had a booking via the agency for a wedding. We were sent a playlist, which luckily had some great tunes on it, a couple of funk/ soulers were joining in matrimony, carrying on their fine, musical line. The groom was an upstanding member of the South East London Constabulary, and below are 5 songs we DID NOT play on his special day.



The venue was an old London town dream. A quiet square in Fitzrovia.  Once home to Viginia Stephen Woolf and current home of the Consulate of Liberia, a private hospital, it's very own resident's opera company, and so the owner of the Italian cafe round the corner claims: Mel Smith, Gary Kemp and Guy Ritchie. If you want to rub shoulders with them in the resident's only square, there's a 3 bed house to rent on the square for £795 per week (and the same again in parking). See you there!
