Song book

So far, I’ve come face to face with the following songs, and below I rate them….
Early One Morning is just so old fashioned, it’s untrue. I suppose its challenging for the immature voice, but still, I get no enjoyment out of it. Imagine if somebody overheard, nevermind my terrible wail - they’d think I was [...]

Jammin’!

I’m no fan of shooting animals [...]

Desperados 127 Upper Street, N1 1QP

Desperados is a cosy inviting tex-mex affair. I guess that if you found yourself in that area (I haven’t before now) it’d be a handy little place to get a decent meal.
Picture this: 70s theme Hen Party (many were heading off to Carwash after the meal, glitter, headscarves, blinding swirling patterns mixed with Tequila, Sambuca, [...]
