London Boys, I have'nt heard this one for years. Still stands up today, gonna try and sneak it in this weekend somewhere. The only request I can remember for them was sometime last year for London Nights. Never knew they had died though, and sadly both had children as well.

Very interesting playlist, one of my residencies is owned by an Irish couple and quite a number those tracks on the list I frequently play. However one of them said to me that U2 is not considered to be a real Irish group by many of their countrymen because they have never given anything back to their homeland. and wouldn't expect, or want them played on an all Irish themed night. Have you ever come across that opinion before or is it just one person's small minded view. I appreciate theres no U2 on that playlist, but could any Irish out there or a specialist like Robbiedj enlighten

Is it Barclay James Harvest, they came from Oldham but they could be classed as a Manchester Prog Rock Band, and their Gone To Earth album had an Owl on it.

Sick and tired of playing Basshunter, thankfully requests for him have tailed off, but I'll nominate his version of Jingle Bells as the worst of last year.

:good: Great question, I'd never have got it from the first clue though. Do you want set another as I'm just passing through today and I don't really have time to think up one and keep checking the responses..

I think its Farrah Fawcett

Whoops better take off a decade or so

There are plenty of swing compilations available, but if you are looking for modern swing, I would look for anything by these groups. Brian Setzer Orchestra (used to be in the Stray Cats) Cherry Poppin' Daddys Royal Crown Revue Big Voodoo Daddy Flying Neutrinos Indigo Swing If its the orginal fifties swing you are after look no further than Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Glen Miller.
