The Impressions – Its Alright & We’re A Winner

Good quality footage of the original Impressions with Curtis Mayfield is quite hard to turn up on You-tube. Here’s them doing the classic Its alright:

Hope you enjoy it.

The one I wanted to post here is a really good quality one with re-synced audio, but unfortunately the poster has disabled embedding so all I can do is put a link up to it:

Ah well!

The Attic, Mansfield – Play list

A rare outing with my DJ box to The Attic in Mansfield on Saturday Evening. Accompanying the Lovely Jo Wallace, we double decked from 10:15 until about midnight.

The Attic is a great little venue with the refreshing music policy of allowing the DJ’s to play what they want. The residents also steer away from the normal oldies so you’re guaranteed an interesting night of music for listening and dancing to. We both came away with a short list of wants (2 of which I got today!).

Thanks to Kev, Dean, Garry and the absent Steve for inviting us and this is what we played:
