hullsoul Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Dave Looks like our playbox did alright Tutti Hill – He’s a lover - Arock Inspired matey,so underplayed. The Queen city show band – True patron of the arts Should have played the vocal John Yiddish Soul Brother – New York City – Chess Without me even bugging you to play it......the other side missing though Well done boys. Cheers Martyn
Dsoulie Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Cheers Martyn, Not a good night to Dj when your stuck between the big guns of the rare soul scene, but I think I survived somehow. Hope everyone that was there enjoyed it, and for those who were not there wished they had been there. Thanks again to the promoters for the invite to Dj. Dave
