Shoo be doo be doo da day!

Don't ask me why, I just felt like saying it. Had a few days feeling under the weather, but back to normal today so all's well.

Let me see what's the last few days brought then. OK let's kick off with the Pure Grooves show from Thursday night. I'm still not sure when to say the show goes out. I say this because it actually goes out at 00.00 Friday morning, but if I said Friday midnight everyone would be a day late. So basically as Thursday comes to an end , my show goes out at Midnight. Right. Have you got that?

Moving on to last night, I did a Skool Disco in Cambridge and it was quite a good night if you like that sort of thing. Which I do. Not too many came dressed up and although there wasn't a massive amount of dancing, people seemed to enjoy themselves, and I had a steady flow of requests throughout the evening. The music was mostly 80s, although we did have a little wander into both the 70s and the 90s.
