Hello Pop Pickers!

I'm having a bit of a do next year. Most guests will be like myself aged mid fifties and therefore, the music will reflect that. I've a few tunes I'd want played that will mostly be 70's and 80's disco. That will include few classics of course. However, I don't want to overlook any great tunes. Therefore, can anyone assist with some suggestions that will get us geriatrics up off our feet!

  • If you want something that will cheer everyone I suggest the uplifting 70's band Joy Division. People will be dancing all night to those classics!

    When I had my 50th a couple of years back I picked one record for every year I'd been alive. That worked pretty well.

Therefore, I'm extending an invite to all CL members and their immediate family. Venue details to follow.

    That's great, when is it?

    Wasn't he ironically driving to a recording studio to do another shocking cover of 'Ain't no stoppin' us now' - when he crashed the car and died?
