I’m heading next door tomorrow night , sounds like a party from here , they may be playing to the bar staff for all I know , but it will be at least the bar staff and me tomorrow 😂.

Los kareokeos a dude who pretended to play a tiny keyboard to schmaltzy crap in the lounge bar. Do people really think that this is what holidays are all about… At least Los Kareokoes is making a buck on top of singing his way for tips while driving the Uber to Albufeira …..and back. ah well , as Mr Green once sang edit to add sat on the room balcony now , and am regaled by the sound of the wind and rain (slightly) drowning the cheesy rock being belted out from the tower block ballroom next door. algarve R us

Okey Dokey plane mode is now off , so I ve released the thread , dive in

A round of applause and a pat on the back maybe for both @Chiliwailer and @Wolfram , tied winners in September with superb compositions. So to get those itchy fingers back to the instruments , Wolfram has supplied the following for our inspiration. "I glimpsed this ad on the Underground a while back - I was previously unaware that 'non-toxic' was a key selling point for an air fryer! Let's hear your ad jingles, weird and wonderful product endorsements, or songs about air fryers 😆." Have a listen and vote for your favourite 2 tracks 1 @Chiliwailer If 6 was 1 - You won't catch me singing, so because the Air Fryer poster said it's '6 in 1' I decided to do a little jingle in 6 styles. 2 @Baloney Balderdash Ok, so here's my contribution, had some issues transposing this month's image into musical ideas, hence the title, but since it is October, the Halloween-ish spin on this happens to fit well : 3 @Leonard Smalls This is a funky little groove about the voices telling you what to buy and how it will improve your entire being. 4 @Jean-Luc Pickguard Crispy Fried Air is based around a simple | Am | / | G | / | F | G | C | / | chord sequence 5 Lurksalot This is a story of how some things don't always work out, all singing and dancing , promises, promises and then the shine comes off and it all becomes a let down ... Love story 6 @Al Nico I couldn't resist making a track about air fryers either. 7 @upside downer Going off at a tangent from the 6-in-1 wonder oven theme (although an air fryer is mentioned in one verse) I instead decided to celebrate a comedian, a singer, a professor, a philanthropist, a cricketer and a cartoon character with an in-depth(!) delve into what makes them who they are. What they do have in common is that they all share the same surname, Fry. Ended up doing that as I couldn't think of six folk with the surname Oven. dial in your 2 votes and we will crown the winner at midnight on Halloween good luck have fun.

Guys I am going to put the voting thread up shortly and then hide it straight away , I have done it up to the entries so far, as I am off in a big metal bird first thing in the morning. This way I can unhide it before I fly off and if I need to edit the post for any late ones , it is just adding 1 or 2 if that. I only note it, as you may all get a notification to say i have mentioned you in a topic , but you can't find it !

I was all set to come Nottingham when you were supposed to play with them with Choked on the bill , but a pandemic put the kibosh on that !

Headsticks, at a small dive in Northwich , great little place. they were most excellent, absolutely on it , played superbly and completely lived and owned every song they played. they deserved a bigger crowd , but then even my +1 couldn’t make it. recomended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ spare ear defence on the bar , you might need them ed to add a couple of pics

🤔 nope cheddatom

The lyric went down a path and I was useless to resist 😂

I’m off to see Headsticks in about 3hours I’ll say hello to @cheddatom

OK , I asked for it ! This is a story of how some things don't always work out, all singing and dancing , promises, promises and then the shine comes off and it all becomes a let down ... Love story Technical.. EZ dummer pounds the skins , Gordon smith clanks through the low end , Ibby 6er thrashes about most of the way through it , UJam provides a little rhythm structure and the piece de resistance is the stunning vocal over the top of it all. Turd polishing care of Ozone 8

Mines nearly done , mostly 1 take stuff , but the vocal has taken a few goes. But you won’t notice given the honey smooth lyrical delivery that I attained on the 82nd one. hell yeah 😂

It was a most excellent performance , absolutely brilliant , a great room and you made a superb sound in it, fantastic grooves meant that no-one could stand still. recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Popping out to see Weeds @Leonard Smalls in town at the weekend , defo 3 of us , maybe more , really looking forward to it 👍

i think that’s the wrong Beeston , I was in the Shady Oak in the shadow of the castle only last week, very pleasant it was to. Now Beeston Notts , that was probably gigsville central at the weekend 😁

ATTENTION! No Messing About at the back , get stuck in

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month , well a round of applause and a pat on the back maybe for both @Chiliwailer and @Wolfram , tied winners in September with superb compositions. Well, onwards and upwards, so to get those itchy fingers back to the instruments , Wolfram has supplied the following for your inspiration. "I glimpsed this ad on the Underground a while back - I was previously unaware that 'non-toxic' was a key selling point for an air fryer! Let's hear your ad jingles, weird and wonderful product endorsements, or songs about air fryers 😆." ✅ Entries must be <5 minutes and recorded between now and the deadline. ❌ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on ❌ No Bagpipes, Please, I think they would suffer from the tubular reverberation and sound a bit off. ❌ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you.. Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 25th October ... Which really means the last day of summertime , dark nights and closed neighbours windows , thus I can sing as loud as I like A line or two of blurb as usual for the vote thread will be super duper smashing lovely. Good luck, Have fun

Excellent tunes @Wolfram and @Chiliwailer well done both. I’ll post the new challenge when I have the image

been there , ended up depping for the rockaoke , and think I accidentally joined a band … it’s a fund raiser every couple of years organised by an old school friend , it’s great fun

I love these sort of events Nantwich do one over Easter, it’s nuts

Have you got a link to the weeds tracks you did ? I know I’ve got them somewhere but can’t find them ! Lurksalittle is in town on the 11th with her mates so I’ll let them have a listen and if they are up for it I’ll get them tickets as well

off we go peeps superb again , brilliant

We had a prompt start on the 1st of meteorological Autumn. After a very tight call for August , 1 vote splitting the pack, and with what looked like me giving that vote, congrats to @Chiliwailer, now on a double, seeking the elusive hat-trick I guess, The business in hand , being the chosen image for our inspiration, was, as he explains... "Autumn is coming in with it's stunning sunsets, so given that my photo-choosing creative mojo has dropped under the horizon here's a nice pic that even has some Northern Lights, sea, stars, rocks, and a pensive dude for your muse..." So here are the entries , please have a listen and choose your favourite 3 tracks 1 @Baloney Balderdash An alternate take of an ending scene for a fictive sci-fi western movie 2 @Leonard Smalls Captain Kirk has got a date on the Enterprise Holodeck with Nurse Chapel in his favourite romantic piano bar on Aurora Prime. However, alien microbes have got into the matrix so when Kirk goes to find Christine admiring the view from the bar's private beach he finds she's actually a bloke called Derek from Redditch... 3 Lurksalot Nice sky but... 4 @Chiliwailer Coasting - a deep dreamy kind of vibe that reminds me partly of holidays abroad years back, and partly of British summers in my youth - this tune kind of captures both for me. Though there’s a tiny bit of rock thrown in towards the end too as they were just sat there, scattered on the beach…. 5 @Jean-Luc Pickguard 6 @Wolfram In keeping with trying something different for every entry, I'm going spiritual and ethereal this time, and I present my first choir composition and arrangement, Aurora Caelestis. 7 @upside downer Another poor, shipwrecked sap falls for the sound of the sirens. Though he escaped with his life, he now spends his days tormented as he watches and waits for a ship that never arrives. superb stuff , I love that these pictures bring these tracks together in this little challenge , most excellent. Anyway , pick your favourite 3 and place your X where it suits voting will end midnight on 30th September good luck

I’m still convinced it was Brook st , what was your dads shop, would I remember that on Boughton then ?

I think that was on Brook street opposite the Catholic club , the Caspian is on Boughton just along from the Church. if I had kept any receipts it might have had the shop address on them 🙄
