Previous years winners – 2010, 2009.

The concept was that Fran Watkins, Gareth Roberts,  Jon Davies, Simon Tunster and myself would select a 30 minutes of the best songs that came to mind. Mix them together to create a playlist that summed up the music we loved.

Anyway as time pasts, perspectives and tastes change or possibly don’t, and i’m thinking its coming to the point where its almost as intriguing as it is necessary for some of us, that we can express what we now love and listen to.

So i’m proposing a new compilation following the same rules. I’m open to suggestions if anyone wants to expand the media beyond music. But the root of it for me is, what are the 7 or 8 songs that would now make the playlist for you!

Don’t blurt them out now but have a think about it, and if you want to go with this let me know below.

Who did you go for?

Super-strong continental market beer made the second half of this a bit hazy. Pretty enjoyable, though it felt like it just didn’t quite happen for me, cant really put my finger on it, i think maybe pre-gig excitement left me a little deflated. That aside, I have been muttering the tune to Dance Hall ever since.

Frightened Rabbit continue to impress, look forward to there eventual headline show if they come back. They seemed to appreciate the crowds enthusiasm.
