Calling all 'Spillers!In a couple of weeks I will be performing one of my favourite annual tasks - namely manning the PA at my local Primary School's Summer Fair (note: it's a Fair not a Fayre - I wouldn't do it if it were the latter). As well as doing the usual lost child announcements and letting people know that the draw for the 'name the teddy bear' event is about to take place, I get to play three hour's worth of music - and they leave it to me to decide what to play. I know - with my reputation!
I have a shortlist of favourites that always work wonders but I'm looking for fresh ideas this year and you can probably guess what's coming next...
What would you play?
I need things with a big summer feel to them. Songs that will make people think I want to stay here and listen to this while little Alfie/Rosie spends another 10p trying to throw a hoop round the neck of a large cuddly tiger which we don't really want in the house (or, more likely, which we donated to the school last week because we were desperate to get rid of it). It doesn't have to be something well known, just something which will make people sit up and listen (and maybe even swing their hips a bit).
Ideas, please...
