"You can play what you like on your own time. When you're on my time you play what my customers like."
This was the instruction my ex-boss gave to many musicians/entertainers if they indulged themselves by playing what they liked personally rather than what the punters liked.
With this in mind, I tried to think of 10 fail-safe songs that every stage jockey should know. There are loads more I'm sure...
1. Brown-eyed Girl (Van Morrisson)
2. Mrs. Robinson (Simon & Garfunkel)
3. Hey Jude (The Beatles)
4. Delilah (Tom Jones)
5. Nancy Spain (Christy Moore)
6. Suspicious Minds (Elvis)
7. Knockin' on Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan)
8. The Wild Rover (The Dubliners)
9. Lyin' Eyes (The Eagles)
10. Satisfaction (The Rolling Stones)
So, any suggestions for other favourite Lanzarote songs?
