Happy New Year!

'Twas the night before New Years,
in the Spooker Recs attic,
All the boozers were heading
to their beds, quite emphatic.

The shawarmas were eaten,
the champagne was drunk,
As they left the warm attic
that was filled with loved junk.

The Spookers were chatting
of musical finds,
While visions of music-gigs
danced in their minds;

And Jon in his pj’s,
and us in our gloves,
Were thinking of Nel, Dymphna, Gold,
Dressed Like Wolves.

George Boomsma, Ridley Woof,
and Tom Joshua were great,
Before Breakfast, James Riggall
- all widely replayed.

Kiran Leonard, Cult Party,
and Parlous, so ace,
Grawlix, Ben Bateman
and Moniker, such grace.

Peter Brewis, Sarah Hayes,
Elaine Palmer, and cello,
Nel welcomed Harriet Bradshaw
with a giant big hello!

Then the Irish invaded,
a sight to behold,
with Our Krypton Son
and Sullivan & Gold.

Alasdair Roberts, Elaine Palmer
& Harriet Bradshaw,
Played quality sets,
and left us in such awe.

At Halloween, Dressed Like Wolves,
Old Muggins + Parlours,
Played to ghostly mannequins,
and us with our Shawarmas.

Martha Hill, George Boomsma,
and Andrew Smith smashed it,
Harri Endersby, James Kruman,
and Dymphna – fantastic!

Our last show of the year,
with new Spooker Dan Lettin,
Eddie and the Valkyries, Dale Husband,
Joel Clayton, Danny Devon.

With a podcast for each,
and a new website in tow,
We’re already excited
for our first 2019 show!

With big thanks to you lot,
for supporting us always,
We hope this year's jam-packed
with wonderful days!

You guys are the best,
so here’s to the New Year,
With many more intimate gigs,
music and cheer.

Dilettante and Nel Unlit
with be joining us soon,
On the 13^th of January
in that little Spooker room.

Until then you can find us
on spookerrekkids.com
To hear more about
everything else that we’ve done.

Special thanks to Mr. Westgarth,
Stevie C – you’re the man,
Happy New Year, folks,
on this first day of Jan!
