This year The Blonde and I commemorate the 30th anniversary of completing year 10. As an aspiring Patron of the Arts I am tasked with engaging the entertainment for the planned high school reunion in November. I had chosen The Singles Bar, seen earlier in the year at the May Day ball, to be said entertainment. Their set list included lots of 1980's classics (and not the weird cruddy stuff) that would be perfect for the middle-aged crowd. But I was having a crisis of confidence, were they as good as I remember? I had had quite a few bevvies last time I saw them play. To put my mind at rest I convinced The Blonde that it would be a good idea for us to go and check them out at their latest gig at The Prince of Wales hotel.
The stage was decorated with a blowup banana and pink flamingo neon lights. Quirky enough to be encouraging. Three young blokes in white suits and Hawaiian shirts. They started with The Doors "Roadhouse Blues", followed by Dire Straits "Money for Nothing", The Cars "Psycho Killer". We were on a winner.
The second set kicked of with Rod Stewart's "If You Want My Body" and the crowd went off. Lots of singing, dancing and general mirth. My voice is croaky from too much singing and yelling. My ribs hurt from too much waving of arms above my head. This is exactly the right band for our high school reunion.
