There was a fair few Fatback Band, the Players were very much in Association and the dance floor was full before anyone’s Mam was due to call them in for tea.

Many bases (basses?) were touched from A to Z – from Adam and his Ants going on about photocopiers to Zappa bemoaning the output of TV. An afternoon both edifying and funky:
