We had a fantastic time playing at Round Midnight a couple of weeks ago. We just haven’t had the chance to share before due to holidays.
We think this was one of our best ever gigs. It was certainly one of our longest at about two and a half hours of music.
This is what we played – though not quite in the order below as we swapped a few things around.
| First set | Second set |
| Chinatown Guns of Navarone Latin goes ska Double barrel Mood for love You’re wondering now Eastern standard time Alley cat ska Man in the street Mambo number 5 Fly me to the moon Can’t get you out … Enola gay Price tag |
James bond Work song Skaravan Tiptoe 10 out of 10 99 red balloons Tainted love Rudy a message to you Tequila My boy lollipop Monkey man Baggy trousers Israelites Night boat to Cairo Gangsters Chinatown |
It was the first time that we have ever played Mambo Number Five – one of the key hits in the 1960s mambo craze from Perez Prado. Most people are now much more familiar with the Lou Bega song, but we went back to the original instrumental for our instrumental version.
There’s a short video of Gangsters that Round Midnight uploaded to Facebook. You can see that on our Facebook page.
And here are a few photos we took from the stage.
