Yasmin's 30th Birthday Kerfuffle 30.7.2011

I don't usually play birthday events, but this time was different.

Basically I was given the challenge of playing a collection of a friends favourite songs I'm not familar with, but I love to hear new music/styles at any time and greatfully accepted. I also had to intertwine the occasional Mowtown song as well! Not easy considering the many different styles I was faced with.

Usually, I'm given some artistic license, but after doing my homework and finding so many good songs, I found little time to slip in any of my own ideas throughout the night! Regardless, the birthday girl seemed more than happy, although I'm sure the copious amount of red wine consumed somwehat helped, and it certainlt makes a pleasant change from playing goth and industrial all night!

Updates

Well, as most of you know that The Coven is currently on hiatus, which leaves me free for a couple of months to take it easy. But let's face it, both CovenAlex and I have been enteraining you on the second Saturday of the month for the last nine years, so its about time we took a break!

But in the meantime, and for those that can't wait until the next Coven, I've been kindly invited back in August to play Bedfords alternative night - "Hellfyre".

It would be great to see a good number of 'willing sinners' coming out ot support the night. Hope to see you all then.
