NEV Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Not the busiest night we've seen at the RAFA but with Eddie Holman live at Easington,John Howard's big 60th bash up the road, we knew that. Still a very enjoyable night of top quality music from all dj's and good Craic with top friends. A plus point being more room for me to dance! Roll on the 20th of this month, for what promises to be another very busy Xmas special P.s Dancing to job opening twice in the last seven days.. How spoilt are we! Edited December 7, 2014 by NEV 1

NEV Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 love reading these playlists paul...said that a number of times about rafa, likewise with our pinch brothers over in donny......looking forward to t'journey oop north in the spring...hopefully bringing a few different things to the table myself. great sets anyway,..mr. ackley ought to be making a name for himself....a "for millionaires only" collection to die for! I used to love reading playlists too,but they are nothing compared to being in a room, hearing them belting out, one after the other, over a loud system...and a floor full of dancers lost in the moment... Aye, nothing quite like it
John Parker Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Sheer quality as expected of the RAFA Looking forward to coming up there on 20th A few new bits to give an outing
