Friday Night Extra 14.6.19 What’s going on? See you in September.


Our feature album tonight was the soul classic ‘What’s goin on’ by Marvin Gaye. This is a concept album, with each track segueing into the next. The songs are from the point to view of a Vietnam veteran who returns to the USA to find hatred, suffering and injustice. NME in 1983, Guardian in 1997, New Nation in 2005, Sounds in 2009 and Rock Deluxe in 1988 all ranked this album as the best ever produced. We celebrated the birthdays of Boy George (58), Rod Argent (74) Alan White (70) and Renaldo Benson RIP (1936-2005) It was an evening where we shared simply great music, one track after another.
