What a night up at the Staff,I was running late because of a prior engagement,but as I was walking up from the train station and getting closer and closer to the club,the beat was getting louder and louder but I still did'nt recognize the sound,walking through the door I then realised why I did'nt recognize the track,up on stage was our guest DJ for the night DAVE EVISON playing a back of the box rare "never played" banger.Even though I did'nt recognize the track,the dance floor was full,it was a pleasure to walk into the club and witness the sights and sounds before me.I could go on and on about our May edition but I'd be typing all night,so I'm just going to say what a lovely knowledgeable man Dave is and it was a pleasure having up at the Staff..Definitely got to mention our very own STAFF SOULSPINNERS who again put in faultless spots all the way till 1am finish,I'm really proud of these lads,same as I'm more than proud of the people who come each month to support us,old friends and new,yep great night...rite I'm off see ya.
