Clerkenwell Revisited

I'm back from my hols. I had a very good time and will be boring you all with the details later in the week. But first some unfinished business.

In one of my last posts before my break I mentioned that I would be popping along to the Clerkenwell Festival to see P.P. Arnold and The Rockingbirds do their thing. This attracted envious comments from a few of you so I thought I should report back.

Here is my detailed review: They were both great.

One of the fun things to do at the Clerkenwell Festival is spotting the musicians in the crowd who were moderately successful at some point in the late 1970s to late 1980s. No Gaye Advert this year but Spizz was present (and making sure everyone knew it) and we also had a sighting of Helen McCookeryBook. I subsequently learned through social media that Mari Wilson and the bloke from S Express were also there.

Here is a track each from the two headliners, both highlights of their respective sets, plus something from Ms McCookeyBook back in the days when she was the Head Chef. The other celebs have been relegated to the videos.

"Medicated Goo" - P.P. Arnold

"Till Something Better Comes Along" - The Rockingbirds

"Locked Out" - The Chefs
