Same TOTP "Christmas Hits" special. And now Howard Jones. I know I'm biased but I do not believe we'll ever see a decade of music and music fans like it again. What a time to be alive - and we're still singing those songs now.

Confession time. I'm watching Top Of The Pops "Christmas Hits" and Mirror Mirror by Dollar comes on - it's a Doctor Block guilty pleasure. Released in November 1981 and appearing on the TOTP Christmas Edition that year, I still love it. One day I may even play this in a DJ set sometime... 😬

Doctor Block DJ at a beautiful 60th wedding anniversary tonight. Disco classics mixed in with singalong 80s tunes. What a superb evening!

If anyone's in Faringdon, I'm playing a vinyl set at The Feast at The Old Crown Coaching Inn this evening on the Courtyard stage from 7-8pm. Expect 80s rock and hair metal, from AC/DC to ZZ Top with some Cinderella and Poison along the way.

Epic night at Las Chicas Faringdon last night, celebrating Halloween and Dia de los Mu***os. Fabulous costumes and it was a blast to weave a path from The Cult, Front 242 to LMFAO, Darude to Shania Twain and Luke Bryan (I know, what?!?!), not forgetting Ghostbusters and Thriller along the way!

Thanks to everyone who came and danced, you were all fabulous.

There's been a change to the lineup and I'm now playing sets with my buddy Del Boyo as part of Las Crownival on Saturday 31 August. We'll be in Las Chicas from 8pm until late.

I'll be smashing out my favourite 80s and retro classics. It might even turn into a bit of a battle but it will definitely be fun. Join us for some proper dance floor grooves.

That was an epic Rock Night in The Swan tonight with a great crowd who even sang along to my latest favourite song they've never heard before. I suspect it will be a staple in my rock sets in the future: Massive Wagons and A.*.*.H.*.L.E. I'll leave you to fill in the blanks... 😎

Thanks to every one came along and listened, sang, danced and made new friends. I really appreciate your love and support.

Lots happening in Faringdon tonight but if you fancy some rock and/or disco, head down to The Swan & The Faringdon Brewery, Faringdon from 8pm. I've no idea where the music will take us but you're welcome to request your favourite songs and I'll see if we can mix them in. Bring your dancing shoes.

We're ready for another party night at The Swan & The Faringdon Brewery, Faringdon tonight from 8pm til late. Come along with your dancing shoes and expect 80s/90s pop, rock and dance classics.
