We're almost there, folks...
As another weekend looms, it's grey and murky again here in London, just in time for the big outdoor events: the finals of Wimbledon, the British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park (Stevie Nicks tonight, Our Princess Kylie tomorrow), the Wireless festival closer to us in Finsbury Park (Nicki Minaj tonight, Doja Cat on Sunday) - and the football final in Germany...
Us? We're going to Cadogan Hall again tomorrow, for William Walton's Belshazzar's Feast!
Meanwhile, let the celebrations with which we always greet the end of a week commence - starring the magnificent tonsils of Edwin Starr ["born in Tennessee, found fame in Detroit, died in Nottingham"], a pair of dead-eyed dancers with crispy flicks, and a song that was actually in our charts this week 45 years ago - and Thank Disco It's Friday!
Have a great weekend, dear reader!
That dancer's waistcoat seems to be defying some sort of scientific theory regarding movement and velocity.
ReplyDeleteHave an entertaining weekend!

Copious amounts of tit-tape, methinks. Like Kylie in the Can't Get You Out of My Head video. Jx
DeleteHappy weekend to you.
ReplyDeleteAnd to you! Jx
DeleteThat lifted my spirits. He died in Nottingham. I took a wrong turn shortly after leaving East Midlands airport and ended up in Nottingham town centre, I thought I was going to die. Have a good weekend and spoil yourself rotten at Belshazzar's Feast!
ReplyDeleteI had a night out in Nottingham's only gay bar once. It was in the city centre on a Saturday night - rough as rats!
DeleteBelshazzar's Feast is going to be an experience-and-a-half. Two choirs, and bugger only knows what else thrown into the mix... Jx
Like Scarlet, I was very concerned that those dancing bints were going to flop their titties right out. I just discovered the word " bint" and love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a rather succinct, if nowadays somewhat frowned upon, term that one might associate with the grittier end of British slang, as used in dramas like The Sweeney or comedies like On the Buses - yet it's actually an Arab term picked up by the Brits while occupying Egypt... Jx
DeleteLove this track and can't believe it 45 years ago
ReplyDelete- scary -
If you go back 45 years from Edwin Starr, the big hit of the time was the 'Isle of Capri' by Ray Noble and His Orchestra
...and that year saw the rise of both Hitler and the Hays Code. Jx
