Yesterday we were asked to play at the 120th birthday party of Grangewood Park in Croydon. So we did, for our second post lockdown gig.<\/p>\n

We hope to get some better photos rather than these snatched phone snaps.<\/p>\n

The weather held up. The generator worked – except when it cut out for about a minute during Latin Goes Ska. But of course we kept playing and it came on just as we hit a new section, so the PA, bass, guitar and keys all came in together as if on cue.<\/p>\n

We got to play an hour long set and eat too much cake.<\/p>\n

As Desmond Dekker lived his final years in Thornton Heath, we dug out a couple of his songs that we have not played for a while as a tribute.<\/p>\n

This is what we played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
