"Surprise visitor to Sonic Reducer - could we be more honoured?

Yus, me lovelies, the first Sonic Reducer was an unmitigated success, with a packed venue, enthusiastic crowd, copious drinking, and much rock-a-rolla action, including airings of tunes as diverse as Fats Waller Esq's The Reefer Song, KOTJ, The Ideals' Gorilla, Norma Dean's Barb Wire, and The Reatards' Youre So Lewd! However, the real surprise of the evening was a totally unexpected visit from local icon Mr Raymond Douglas Davies, who popped in to check whether London's top drinking hole, Gerry O'Boyle's The Boogaloo, did indeed have a copy of his superlative Village Green album on its wonderfully-stocked juke... The answer: YES! Mr Raymond Douglas Davies stayed around for a coupla hours and chatted with yours trulies, and was generally lovely... As you can imagine, BigKegShandy was overcome, so much so that he gave Mr D his prized copy of Tea Pad Songs Vol. 2, much to the delight of our honoured visitor, who exclaimed "This looks great, are you sure?!" ... Mr Raymond Douglas Davies even intimated that he'd love to come back and spin some 45s with us! So stay tuned to NBT for a date! So, brethren, it's FREE fun and frolics with the Sonic Reducer crew at The Boogaloo, Archway Road (Highgate tube), London N6, on Friday 23rd July, from around 7.30-11pm ... Come along and get yer lugs singed, and yer backbone well & truly slipped!"
