Nice one EC. Reminds me of Ronnie Scotts. Only club I ever went to in the 80's and when I was down in the 90's   

Sing Along...

Yes, the tune has a great vibe. Envious of your trips to RC.

My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine
Everybody loves the sunshine
Sunshine, everybody loves the sunshine
Sunshine, folks get down in the sunshine
Sunshine, folks get 'round in the sunshine

Just bees and things and flowers

My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine
Everybody loves the sunshine
Sunshine, everybody loves the sunshine
Sunshine, folks get down in the sunshine
Sunshine, folks get 'round in the sunshine

Feel, what I feel, when I feel, what I feel
When I'm feelin', in the sunshine
Feel, what I feel, when I feel, what I feel
When I'm feelin', in the sunshine

Do what I do, when I do, what I do
When I'm doin', in the sunshine
Do what I do, when I do, what I do
When I'm doin', in the sunshine

Sunshine, everybody loves the sunshine

Saw him two nights in a row in Ronnies. Stands out  

Need to go through to the lounge and keep someone company EC.

Hope all is well in Steel City.

You are a lucky man. I Just picked up the film 'Coffy', Roy Ayers soundtrack.  Hopefully it will be a good watch/soundtrack.

No problem.

I'm all good thanks.

See you around the threads.

It's been far too long since I dug out a UFO album. Here is a smoove-future-retro-jazz-funk-tastic tune.

... a little bit more

First sample I reckon    

Marley is standard but boy his band were tight...

Forget the lyrics..

I'll go to my death bed with The Roots Radics.

And they were Gregory's backing band. Prince Jammy's, Scientists...

This tune has a special place in my heart. I started work at a college. My colleague (a black guy) played me a lot of reggae amongst other music, we also listened to a bit of pirate radio in the office and to be honest, we did less work and a bit too much listening to music. 

Anyway, one day this tune came on the radio. My colleague decided to buy it, so at lunch time we went to a predominantly afro-caribbean area of Sheffield where there was this little record shop, the record was duly purchased on vinyl. !!  

Good times, good memories.

My now ex-colleague has been a close friend ever since.

Funny who you bump into EC.

I started work for BT in the eighties. In Euston Tower. I can safely say all my friends were West Indian. People who would stand up      That was the local.

My best friend at work was Ditesh. Wonder where he is now.

It certainly is funny who you meet along the way. I always wonder what I would be doing if I deviated slightly from the path I took, for example, if I had never started work at the college, I would never have met my friend and more than likely not had quite the depth of interest/liking in reggae. Although I found out that my friend is probably more into Jazz, something I was already dipping my toe into along with funk and soul.

Have you not tried to find your friend Twickers?

Social media may help.

This is my social media EC.

One day for a coffee. 

Driving home tonight, Jo Whiley show on the radio, this song came on. Never listened to Snow Patrol before, but I really enjoyed this tune.

Quite some time since I listened to and posted this song.

I seem to be getting a bit predictable. 

Saw this clip on a BBC Guitar Heroes programme. Loved the song, but also liked how they were described as a 'Power Trio'.

Saw this group live at The Leadmill. What an experience.

I became aware of this band for the first time last week and have been listening to a lot of their output on YouTube, well, as much as I can find.

This is a favourite of mine ...so far.
