A huge thank you to everyone who bought Nico and the Velvet Underground this week!
We got off to the perfect start with a beautifully brought "Sunday Morning", on Sunday morning, thanks to York Steve! And my half of the theme ended with two gorgeous covers of the very lovely "These Days" from Andy and Ralf, to close These wonderful Days of celebration of Nico and the Velvet Underground. In between were more jewels of songs from Wim, Brian Fergus, Bob King, Val, JT Steam, and Bruce Rutherford - how lovely to have Bruce with us again this week. Every performance was a delight to listen to - these song sounds so good on uke! Everyone deserves a prize, but I have three to give, so I must pick...
1. Val. it was as if Nico was in the room! Not only that, but an image of the delectable Ted, and his words of wisdom immortalized forever in song...
2. Bruce Rutherford brought "All Tomorrow's Parties" and made it completely his own. Wonderful stuff. Thank you so much for this, Bruce...
3. Andy brought me two gorgeous covers - "These Days" and "I'll Be Your Mirror" which totally caught the feel of these beautiful songs, and, for me, perfectly captured the whole Nico and the Velvet Underground vibe...
if my winners can PM me their addresses, I will send your prizes on their journey to you asap.
Big thanks to my lovely co-host Del, and to everyone who took part this week, the whole playlist and both themes were a delight to listen to. I've had such a lovely time co-hosting. Thank you all!
