A great night, a great hotel right in the heart of London and lovely to get The Love Junkies Big Band out again. Thanks to all our excellent players.
Step into Christmas with our standardised average funk ratings
The last Love Junkies gig before Christmas, and we’re stepping into it, big time, at the beautiful Science Theatre in Salomons Estate writes Jake Willson Christmas is definitely in the air: people are dressing up for parties, wrapping presents, drinking heavily and stuffing big fat birds (oo er). Among the bustle of Christmas fayre, one facet of […]
Poppies, Camden Town
On Saturday we got to play at Poppies, Camden Town, a most excellent fish n chips emporium that expanded out of Spitalfields last year. The premise is fairly simple, music, fish n chips and dancing. Sounds kinda weird but it works. We found some hats. A French John Travolta and the diners were lovin’ the […]

Wifi passwords. Sheesh. I don’t know how many gigs we’ve been to where there’s a wifi connection, but they just never work. Got us thinking about why the hell this is? Why isn’t it as simple as plugging into the mains? Why does there always need to be a sodding password!? Tonight’s delightful cipher is […]
Inn on the Lake
These days Love Junkies blog posts may be something of a rarity. That’s not to say we don’t have anything to share – if anything we have too much. Even after we’ve cleaned it up a bit. It’s just that, well the prose has been lacking of late.

Ghosts in the machine
Eltham Palace… is a ‘venue’. I mean, wow! It really is something else… from the bond-villain style art deco round room, to the imposing great Hall where Henry and Elizabeth probably presided over court. Last night, The Love Junkies plus performed to a ruby wedding crowd at one of London’s finest heritage sites. Souped up, turbo […]
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n roll. It’s even further up the A11
It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock ‘n roll. It’s also a bloody long way up the A11 to Norwich if you want to ‘funk ‘n soul’. Not that we’re complaining. It was an absolute pleasure to be asked up to Rocco’s nightclub this Easter Sunday. Quiet little gig? Not […]
