Operators preparing to be part of the exodus heading to EAG Expo can get in tune with the market courtesy of some ‘bangers, belters and big tunes’ that reflect the musical mores of the industry.

The playlist, selections of which will be performed live at EAG by show band Apollo Brass, is a compilation of the favourite tracks selected by participants interviewed in Coinslot’s human interest feature ‘A Quick Chat With ..’

 The EAG juke box jury and their selections comprised Paul Hyman: Free Bird -Lynyrd Skynyrd, Paolo Sidoli: Va Pensiero and Di Quella Pira from Verdi’s Nabucco and Il Trovatore, Will Bollom: Enter Sandman - Metallica, Quentin Stott: Take It to The Limit - The Eagles, Justin Browning Smith: Lucky Man - The Verve, Nick Rudd: Be Here Now – Oasis, Sascha Blodau: Slideaway – Oasis,  Peter Davies: Wherever I may Roam - Metallica, Rob Wheeler: Don’t Look Back in Anger – Oasis, Anne Ackord: Bat Out of Hell - Meatloaf, Mike Clokie: Evidently Chickentown – John Cooper Clarke, Chris Haley: Moving -Kate Bush, Mark Jepp: Brilliant Trees- David Sylvian and Graham Gonzalez: Summer Holiday - Cliff Richard and the Shadows.

“The EAG playlist demonstrates what an eclectic bunch the industry is, spanning artists and genres from John Cooper Clarke through to Cliff Richard” stated show Chairman Nick Harding. “Interestingly, interviewees named 14 different tracks with Oasis (3) and Metallica (2) the most popular artists. It’s a pretty good listen and a great way to get in the mood for an edition of EAG that’s certain to hit the high notes!”

 He continued: “To add to the celebratory high-energy atmosphere at EAG Expo we have secured the services of Apollo Brass, a band which puts a fresh spin on classic party tunes and has been described as one of London’s most exciting and contemporary live performers. As well as their own repertoire they will be performing some of the tracks selected by our very own EAG Juke Box Jury.”
