Hello again! It's been a while and this is my last blog till September. I have just returned from my alast ever night at The Royal Oak pub, which is closing on 12th August. Alas I can't be there so tonight was the last time. It's sad...I've never talkied about it before but a Saturday night at the Oak was brilliant because it was Karaoake noght. The guy that ran the evening - Jon is a huge talent - more on that later. It was so sad to know that the people I saw more or less once or twice a month will no longer gather at this venue. It was a greta night - in fact every night I have has there when Jon is working his magic has been great. It's a sad loss.

I think this week's show went out. Next week's show will be different. A "Disco but not Disco" show. that is Disco recorded by non-Disco artists. It will feature people such as Jim Capaldi, Cher, Dusty Springfield & Marsha Hunt, to name a few. Afther that there will be a 1980's show (well 1980-1984) and then a generic Disco/Soul/Funk Show. I've got a couple of interesting tracks to play for that one.

So back to Jon. Jon is a 26 year old young man with a great voice. He's also a showman, good looking and has a star quality that very few possess. An 'X Factor'...funny I should mention this as Jon has entered the competition and we are hoping that he will progress through it to the finals. We are all routing for him. If you get the chance then do vote for him. He is one of the most genuine individuals I have had the pleasure if ever meeting.

Anyway that's it for the time being. Hope you enjoy the shows on JSR...there may be an update on other developments this week but I don't want to discuss them now....
