Headbang - 29th September, 2023

Just 5 of us in attendance at Dave's last night but we had another 5 join in via MS Teams - the first time we had used this medium rather than Zoom. Phil joined the gathering from Ulverston and Rob D wasn't far away on vacation in the Lake District. Rob G was in Derbyshire, Aidan in Edinburgh and, for the first time, all the way from New Zealand, it was good to see Malcolm again.

An earlier than usual start (and finish) was planned and, in fact, those of us having curries beforehand were well ahead of schedule and ready to go at 6:30 pm - a full 15 minutes before the planned start.

We started with a theme carried over from the last Headbang, at which we'd done "Lefties". This time it was "Lefties who switched" and the votes (2 each) were:

Then it was the traditional start with 'GENARIANS. First of all, the Septuagenarians:

A very even split of the votes here. Perhaps the Octogenarians/Nonogenarians would be different:


A clear win for Sir Mick - although only just ahead of Willie Nelson - still going strong at 90.

Other Septuagenarians not featured were:


Other Octogenarians/Nonogenarians were:


Now the OBITUARIES  - and there have been loads since the last Headbang. This time it was 3 votes each:


Tina was a clear winner, but honourable mention to Tony B.

Other Obits not featured:


Next was the Jukebox and this time we had 13 nominations, including one from long-lost Gary Grant whose last appearance at a Headbang was over 4 years ago. We played the Jukebox in 2 parts and everyone had 3 votes:


Brandi Carlile's cover of the Elton John classic won the vote.

Just half an hour left until the taxi was due to arrive at 11:15 pm so we had to rush through the last theme - CARS - Colin's nomination - and we didn't quite have enough time to do the voting which will be reported on later, but here's the tracks that were played:


Just time for a slightly dodgy team photo:
