This Sunday we are holding our second “Old Git At The Olde Dog” event in Herongate, handily placed near both Basildon and East Thurrock, after the first night in September proved popular. At this splendid country inn (or “proper pub” as one of my friends put it!) you can hear pretty much the same sort of tunes as I play on my show whilst at the same time meeting some of the regular listeners who contribute requests and dedications -why not come and join us ? But first take a listen to last Monday’s show again on this Saturday’s repeat play at 5pm – a good proportion of the tracks played were suggested by the “Old Dog Soul Crew” !
