Carrying on where I left off .....Theme number 6 was a video version of a show we recently broadcast on River Dee Radio:

11 tracks were played but the voting this time had to be purely on the actual harmonica part of each song. The final outcome was:

1 Neil Young Heart of gold 78
2 Val Doonican & Charlie McCoy Stone Fox Chase 77
3 Dr. Feelgood Roxette 69
4 David Bowie Jean Genie 67
5 Rolling Stones Not fade away 52

10 Who Baba O'Reilly 39
11 Bryan Ferry Let's stick together 29

ART SCHOOL ARTISTES (2)

The second time around for this theme - on average, the artistes this time came from a decade or so later than the previous time. Voting went as follows:

10 Graham Coxon Blur Saturday night 36
11 Marc Almond Soft Cell The days of Pearly Spencer 34
12 Adam Ant & the Ants Vive le rock 14
Live Aid 14

The clock was ticking fast towards our scheduled departure at 12:30, so we just had time for one last theme, which meant that NOTABLE ABSENTEES (4) will have to wait until another time.

Back in June, 2013, we featured BEST OF THE BEST for the first time, playing the tracks that had been voted as best of the evening from when we started keeping these records back in 2010. On that occasion the winner was Alex Harvey's great live performance of FRAMED with SAHB in Oslo (You can still view this at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG6aLs8zzrs). This time we played the 10 tracks that had won the honour of being our favourite of the evening from October, 2013 through to August, 2016 and here are the results:

1 Free Mr. Big 61
2= Nils Lofgren Keith Don't Go 59
2= Cream Sunshine of your love 59
4 Fleetwood Mac Need your love so bad 58
5 David Bowie Life on Mars? 55
6 Peter Gabriel Solsbury Hill 53
7 Procul Harum A Salty Dog 38
8 Jethro Tull Locomotive Breath 29
9 Steppenwolf Magic Carpet Ride 17
10 My Chemical Romance I don't love you 11
So that was it - just time for the usual (slightly blurry) team photo:
