In store at Vinyl Demand for 7 hours of fun!

One of the most memorable gigs I've ever done happened the other weekend during the Tramlines fest at the Vinyl Demand shop in Sheffield. Teaming up with Scott and Mark from Plan B we played 30 minute sets from 1pm until 8pm!

Here's the lowdown...

I've cribbed the vids from my first set and I they are all from 1977 (I think?). First up is Den fave Joe Tex and the 'Ain't gonna bump no more'- lite 'Rub down'. No footage of Joe doin' this one folks so you'll have to be content with hearing this over- looked gem whilst staring at the weird- ass sleeve.

In quick succession we have the cheesy lyrics of 'Vitamin U' which is a rare occasion of Smokey singing someone elses tune. The only other I can think of is 'I gotta dance to keep from crying' which I think was HDH?. Again, no footage so here's some horrors on 'Soul train' doing their thing!
