Welcome to the Four Play program highlights for 19th August, 2008.

Well what a fun show! Some great music, a great guest and some genuine Jay & Chris silliness thrown in.

Tonights first set featured
Inaya Day. Inaya was born in New York City and started singing in church in Brooklyn. Later she attended the prestigious High School of Music and the Performing Arts and also studied theater at the University of Bridgeport in Conneticut. She's been a session musician for Michael Jackson, Al Green, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Queen Latifah, to name but a few.

Track 3: I am tha 1
Track 4: Breakaway (a cover of the 1988 Big Pig hit)

Track 2: Power and the Passion
Track 3: Feeding Frenzy

Next up, we featured English art/rock group Roxy Music and one of its founders, Brian Ferry - A band first formed in the early 1970's. Brian Ferry and Roxy Music Co-founder, Brian Eno, have had broadly influential careers, with Brian Eno emerging as one of the most significant record producers of the late 20th century, with credits including Devo, Talking Heads and U2.

Brian Ferry was also famous for his very "leggy" well known girlfriends, who included 1973 playmate of the year, Marilyn Cole and also Jerry Hall (of Mick Jagger fame).

Track 2: Let's Stick Together
Track 3: More Than This

Last set for the night had Jay dancing on the desk and reminiscing about life in the 80's. Based on various music charts in the UK, US, and Canada, our last artist has charted a grand total of 14 different hit singles and 6 different hit albums. The artist -
Rick Astley.

Next week - Ben from East StKilda co-hosts with Jay, while Chris and Cam check out Sneaky Sound System at QBH. A report will be forthcoming on both the Concert and of course next week's show, where Ben and Jay will fight for dominance in who knows more about Musical theatre, while playing a full show of multiple musical four play sets!
