The Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo. They were the worlds
biggest selling group of the 1970's.
Although only
mainly active for that single decade, by the time of Karen's death in 1983 aged
just 32, ten of their singles become million-sellers and by the millenium over
100 million albums had been sold.
"Calling Occupants
of Interplanetary Craft", is the recognised anthem of World Contact Day which
happens in March each year, where the song is constantly broadcast by satellites
into outer space.

Passenger was originally a Brit folk/rock band formed in 2003.

split up in 2007, lead singer Mike Rosenberg continued his career as a solo

Then suddenly in 2013 year he exploded onto
the scene with three chart topping songs in quick succession, Let her Go,
The Wrong Direction and Holes.

long.

This weekend in London City, we're holding a "Revival". A toe-tapping high tempo, deep south, Gospel concert, starring our versions of Jan Crouch and Tammy Faye Bakker as hosts, with Vestal Goodman (known as Vestal Virgin) as the lead performer in our show.
In America, selling God is a multi-billion dollar, tax free business, raking in wealth for its televangelists, unimaginable even by the most famous of performers.
Each week millions of people tune into crying preachers who offer everything from cures for terminal illnesses to guarantees of making you as rich as them, so long as you send them your hard earned cash on a regular basis.
The premise being that God is a bit strapped for cash and that a mighty oak will grow from the acorn you plant.
Perpetually embroiled in scandals of racketeering, prostitution and embezzlement, it is also a cut throat business with each ministry condemning other ministries and producing evidence on each other, as they compete for the prize fund of your money.
Kenneth Copeland - Benny Hinn - Robert Tilton
Top of the tree is Kenneth Copeland, with a tax free estimated worth of over a billion dollars, a fleet of private jets and his own airport, all used for spreading the word of the ministry... and holidays.
Every so often things go wrong, as it did in 1987 for Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, who were the original Satellite Televangelists. Jim was found guilty of mail fraud and sent to prison for 47 years, but paroled just 5 years later. His mistake was to oversell time-share stays at Heritage USA, a city he had built to spread the good word.
Since the Bakkers mistakes, other televangelists have stopped offering tangible assets and instead offer to use their own hot line direct to God (who speaks to them constantly) to get you the things you want. Since this cannot be measured, its all perfectly legal and profitable in the extreme!
However, with such extreme stakes involved, the production value of the shows produced by each ministry is paralleled only by Walt Disney studios.
Our Revival concert highlights the very best of the glitz and glamour you can expect as your sins are melted away. It is tongue in cheek, has a free bar with hard liquor, the occasional hooker for our preachers and lots of crying.
We are not poking fun at people's beliefs, we are however aiming to lambaste the highest paying entertainment job in the world.
Starts 12pm SL (8pm UK) with 'The Hungry Goodmans' on stage from 1pm SL time.
Easter is almost here! It begins on Thursday evening and goes right on to Monday night!
In the UK, Friday and Monday are Bank Holidays (Public holidays), so keep an eye out for special offers on grog, as all the supermarkets reduce their prices to encourage a good old fashioned Drinkathon to celebrate baby Jebus going to meet his maker.
All our bars, clubs, speakeasies and dens are open through the holidays as the good lord would want.
The big show is on Saturday at 12pm SL time. Tammy Faye Bakker, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Vestal Goodman, Jan Crouch, Happy Harold Goodman take to the stage for the annual revival!
Perhaps one of the most iconic looks of the 1960's belongs to singer Dusty Springfield, with her white backcombed hair and thick eyeliner. It was a look that so many have tried to emulate.
Dusty, hit the charts in 1963 with I Only Want To Be With You, and from that moment on both sides of the Atlantic, a star was born. She followed her first hit up with many more, including Wishin' and Hopin', I Only Want To Be With You, I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself, You Don't Have To Say You Love Me, and Son of A Preacher Man and many many more.
Dusty is appearing in London City on Saturday and the party starts at 1pm SL time (8pm UK), with the show an hour later at 2pm SL time.
Clocks go forward tonight in Europe and UK. Back not normal times next week.
A very Happy St. Patrick's day to you all (so it is).
You can join everyone in Substation at 11am SLT (7pm UK) for a right proper knees up with copious amounts of liquor.
St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Partaay, was born in Belfast in 1955 and is credited with forcing Christianity on the people of Ireland. But he did some good things too.. He was the first 3 parts pissed Bishop who would regularly have a nip, mid-sermon for medicinal purposes whilst singing Hymn's in the style of Boris Yeltsin.
The Apostle of Ireland, came to a sticky end when he fell into a vat of rum in 1995, but left this world with a smile and a burp.
Let's all party today, it is what St. Patrick would have wanted!
It is the St. Patrick's Day Weekend, the biggest piss-up since New Years Eve!
Get down to the shops early to make sure you get all the grog you need.
Join us in London City for Irish jigs, Irish Pub Songs
and Folk Songs and The Dubliners!
The Dubliners are here in concert (so they are).
Drinks will be flowing, (so they will), the fife will be playing (so it will)
and we'll all be singing along to famous folk music. If you don't know the
words, the just keep supping-up until you do.
Party
in The Park starts at 1pm SL (8pm UK) with the show at 2pm SL.
The Nolan's, who originally formed in 1974 as The Nolan Sisters, are an Irish/British girl group, famous for uptempo covers of well known songs.
In their own right, they are most famous for I'm In The Mood For Dancing, which when released in 1979, topped the charts around the world, and to this day, remains one of the most famous disco songs of the era.
The sisters, Anne, Denise, Maureen, Linda and Bernie, became regular favourites, appearing on many weekly prime-time shows, including The Two Ronnies.
Family feuds, ill health and the death of Bernie, put a stop to their act in the 2000's but the band reformed again in 2009, but stopped performing again by 2014.
Enjoy this show on Saturday at 12pm SL time (8pm UK), featuring all the Nolan's at the height of their popularity, with special guest, Kim Woodburn, the unaccredited Nolan Sister.
Well, Saturday night at eight o'clock, I know where I'm gonna go... To the Drifters Concert in London City and hopefully, being mid-month the weather will be fantastic!
