Ba-dee-ya dancing in September

September, September – so good it got played twice. On this autumnal second Sunday we were definitely chasing the clouds away. It was a little quieter than our summer sessions but with a room full of regulars eager to share their selections we managed to get out seventeen sets.

As ever we were treated to a wide range of sets – from disco to ska to country to a Belinda Carlisle set – as well as the usual in-set eclecticism. We were reminded of some of the more obscure nooks and crannies of Bowie and the Stones, and were introduced to artists such as Skylab, Penza Penza and Locksmith – the latter as part of a funk set which got people up on that bit of the floor used for dancing very early doors, in the third set of seven no less. Dancing in September before tea time even. - Rich
