Our gang had a faboo day yesterday at a matinee Music Hall show courtesy of the marvellous Players Theatre Company at that quirkiest of "hidden gems" in the heart of Soho, the Phoenix Arts Club [more of that later, no doubt], followed by drinkies for The History Boy's birthday - so (inevitably) today has been a much more laid-back affair altogether.
I think we deserve another "Ab Fab flashback", courtesy of the remarkable and ever-reliable Soft Tempo Lounge...
Groovy!

Dear god, to think when I was a kid I wanted to BE Gene Barry when he was in Burke’s Law. (He played a millionaire police captain who got driven to crime scenes in his Rolls Silver Cloud.) I hope you all went dressed appropriately soft tempo.

A bizarre cast indeed - Lionel Blair, Denholm Elliott, Angela Douglas from the Carry On films, and... Cyd Charisse?!

ReplyDeleteloved the music but there is far to much orange in that posh flat,it's given me a migraine.
The late 60s and early 70s were very orange. And butterscotch brown. And puce. And lime green. Usually in the same fabric. Jx
