Friday Feeling - BOSS playlist

As a busy week comes to an end, the staff at BOSS HQ have picked their favourite feel good weekend tunes for a Friday playlist on our brand new Spotify channel.

Here's what we picked and why:

Richard - Casting Booker

Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition

Tune of the century! I think I may have sat with Jennie in the early hours of the morning at Lauren's once playing endless tunes on her iMac and this is one I remember!

Tristan – Model Booker Junior Division

Boston – More than a feeling

A classic tune that simply can’t fail to get you in a good mood.

Robyn – Casting Booker

Beyonce – Freakum Dress

This is my jam! It makes me want to immediately get up and dance with my gurls! Anything Beyonce based would make me happy.

Debra – Managing Director

The Kinks - Days

I’ve been reminiscing so this week so my vote goes to Days by The Kinks, because it reminds me of my Mum and Dad, and I hope my little lad Marcus will think the same way.  Tune in!

Olivia – Junior Division Booker

Luther Vandross – Never Too Much

This is a sing your heart out classic! Love love love, you can’t beat a bit of 80’s soul. If anyone wants a rendition, you know where I am!

Bart – Junior Model Booker

Broncho – It’s On 

I just like the riff!

Jennie – Model Booker

Angie Stone – Wish I Didn’t Miss You

This was one of the last songs to be played at Space’s Closing Party in Ibiza last weekend. I had forgotten about it until I heard it recently. A classic.

Jennifer – Accountant

Prayer in C (Robin Schulz Remix)

Here’s a throwback to 2014 which was definitely my song of the summer (well, one of them) – and considering the weather right now I could do with a bit of sunshine! 

Here’s an extra one for Harriett too which I think she’ll like:

George Ezra - Budapest

Harriett asked me to listen to Budapest as she thought I’d like it, but then proceeded to text me the same message every time she heard the song for about 6 weeks!  Each time genuinely forgetting she’d already previously asked me to.  It still makes me laugh out loud!

Hayley – Model Booker

Jamiroquai – Little L

Friday with wine yes please! 

Crazy P – Stop Space Return. 

Get’s me in the mood for going out.

Cath – Head of casting

Joe Cocker – With a Little Help from My Friends

I saw him a few years ago at the Apollo, he was still giving it all…and we all need our friends!

Gareth – Head booker

The Kooks – Ooh La 

This songreminds me of being on the bullet train from Tokyo to Osaka, 200mph!

Alex – Social media coordinator

Jamie T – Zombie

Because I can’t wait to go and get a Zombie cocktail in the Northern Quarter tonight.

We've got a BOSS bun in the oven

Since she joined BOSS as a model back in 2008, Heather has been very busy. As well as carving out her place in the modelling industry, working for brands like Bravissimo, she started a successful career as a make-up artist. We now represent her as part of BOSS creative management, although she continues to model.

We were so happy to congratulate Heather when she married Simon Cocker last year, who has been a model on our books since the 90s. After keeping it in the BOSS family, Heather and Simon are now starting one of their own, with a baby girl due in just three weeks. Everyone at BOSS is wishing them lots of luck for their future as they continue their model love story.

The Homeless Poet - 'Life'

After a long day at BOSS HQ, some of our team were out for a drink in the Northern Quarter of Manchester where they were approached by a man, introducing himself as 'The Homeless Poet.' He offered to recite a poem to them on a subject of their choice. Debra, our MD, chose 'life.'

Without hesitating and seemingly unrehearsed, this is the poem he wrote:

I think I’m unlucky,

Or maybe just cursed,

Coz I pray for it to get better,

Yet life keeps getting worse.

And I know we’re all made even,

And equally we are blessed,

But the stronger your beliefs and faith,

The harder your life will test.

Thank you and God Bless

Surprised and amazed by his vivd and poignant view, the team offered him what they had and Debra was even inspired to write a reply:

God Bless you, Homeless Poet, 

I hope we meet again,

You gave us all a treat that night

From your own pad and pen.
