Slow Sets

Somethimes when we touch - i just love that!!! great pick

I am so surprised that so many of you like Janis Ian as since I have been about 12 she is one of my top favorites and I sing most of her songs.  Bright lights and promises being one of my favorites - but sing at 17 most!

I Know soppy git but d'ont know about anyone else but when I was growing up (in the grove) i always associated the slow songs with breakups etc.. they are forever stuck in my mind ..just back from gig (30th B/Day) and the bday girl asked me for "Hazel will you" so threw in Judy Tsuke and Lay lady lay for good measure ... MAD

I had to work hard to get a chance to score. My friends dad was a bouncer (cop from Raheny) and everytime he saw me dance in a slow set with a guy, he was over telling him that he wouldn't be allowed back in if he kissed me!! He thought it was funny to do that to all of his daughter's friends!!

We had to have a quiet word with her. He was ruining our chances week after week.

Funny though. He saved me from certain kiss of death sometimes!!!

 

 

Not neccessarily my Favorites, but definitely what I remember from my era

All Out of Love - Air Supply - Always 1st song 2nd Slowset, Preceeded by the one and only time Cecil ever said anything, the infamous line "We're gonna sssslow things down a bit"

At 17 - Janis Ian

Will You? - Hazel O'Connor

In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins

Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues

Shay - not that I remember. I think he played
"Take it on the run". It's the one (if you needed
reminding) that starts off with the lyric
"Heard it from a friend who ... heard it from a friend.."

When I was in first year college there was a student
union rep candidate who had as one of the promises
in his manifesto that he would ban REO Speedwagon
tracks from any of the student discos. His other
popular promise was to improve the quality of college
toilet roll.

Thanks Ian! I now have that song in my head too.....I had successfully blotted out the whole REO experience and between the 3 of you you've set me back to fleeing to the toilets to escape....and any guy who intercepted asked you up to dance to that....Well lets just say he lost ALL credibility as a rocker!
