:{RSVP}: on Facebook

I started my weekly residency at The Eagle two years ago and, one hundred Friday nights later, it seemed like a good excuse to celebrate this innings (and the last Friday before going home for Christmas). Like the most diligent scorer, carefully annotating LBWs, sixes and maiden overs, I’ve recorded every set I’ve played and, for one night only, I’ll be padding up for a trip down memory lane. I’ve picked one track from every Friday night session and plan to play all one hundred, in chronological order, for your listening pleasure.

Expect an alternative snapshot of the last two years in music; an eclectic selection of electro, pop, Motown, indie, hip hop, bootlegs, downtempo and funk. On my very first Friday night, I played ‘Dream On’ by Christian Falk featuring Robyn and, two years later, it’s now in the charts. In another hundred Fridays, perhaps current favourites The Molotovs, Kidda, or School Of Seven Bells will be stars, or Tim And Sam’s Tim And The Sam Band With Tim And Sam will score a number one.

:{Unplanned Afternoons}: is bringing Christmas to Camden. Based on a guiding principal of ridiculous eclecticism, the Unplanned Allstars and me will be playing old stuff, new stuff and somewhere inbetween stuff. It’s the songs you love and never get to hear, plus new tunes you won’t be able to live without.

The event is taking place from 1pm-1am at the fabulous Lockside Lounge venue in Camden Lock - twelve hours of tunes and they do food too:

:{BRITISH RED CROSS}: Zimbabwe & Region Cholera Appeal

ua_46-british-red-cross-logo-a4_marque_rgb.jpg

:{UA#46: UNPLANNED CHRISTMAS}:
is raising money for the British Red Cross
Zimbabwe & Region Cholera Appeal

www.redcross.org.uk

The British Red Cross launched an appeal on 11 December to help thousands of people affected by cholera and food shortages in Zimbabwe and the surrounding region. A severe cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe has already claimed more than 700 lives and affected more than 15,000 people. However, the real numbers are likely to be much higher.

The crisis has also affected neighbouring South Africa, where hundreds of Zimbabweans and locals have been treated for cholera. Thousands of cases have also been identified in Angola and Mozambique. The situation is critical, particularly in Zimbabwe, which faces a drastic shortage of health professionals. Hospitals are without necessary equipment and medication, and water and sanitation systems are at breaking point.
