The British Breakfast presents:
RIP Prince Philip: A Short Tribute Then Nonsense From My LP Collection
Did some research about Prince Philip and possibly identified his fave song plus another song that Elizabeth would often play when she knew she had fallen in love.
The show takes a dive after this but a fun tail spin as I pull from my personal LP collection randomly and without much thought. This turned out to be a show with many fantastic and very average covers. Putting the show together though was an absolute blast. On Saturday, join me in my record room. Bring Scooby snacks.

“I May Be a Poser But I’m Not an Impostor” Michael Des Barres
This Show has lots of new stuff and early 70’s fun stuff. We’re going to pay homage to English Actor and Musician Michael Des Barres… and…. pay Tribute to Uriah Heep Keyboardist Ken Hensley RIP. This will all begin with a double shot of my fave surgically masked Liverpudlians and end with a silly cover of The Hollywood Argyles.
The artists of the new stuff are: Adwaith/Massimo Silverio, Jane Weaver, Francois and the Atlas Mountains, Lost Horizons, Stephen Mclaren, Errant Boy, Randolph’s Leap, Campfire Social, Juliper Sky, Black Country, New Road and Mush and……..aforementioned Stephen Mclaren has provided us with one of the sets as we will make a far fetched connect that will warm your cockles.
Cheers, Gene
