Join us at The Riverside, Woodbridge on Sunday 20th October for the first in our monthly get togethers. We’ll be there for 8 Hours (lunchtime till 9:00) playing a wide range of music from all 4 corners and beyond. Digging deep into our collections and playing music to suit the changing seasons. Of course there will still be the amazing Sunday lunch as per usual from 12:00 till 3:00. Then after lunch we are going to make it more cosy ready for the evening, lots of candles, more communal seating and a winter warmers menu from 5:00 till 8:00 with loads of your favourite comfort foods - stews, curries, chillies etc. Come down with your friends or if you are on your own and into your music, food, films etc come down and say hello to me and Ben, we love a chat. See you there.

I re-lived this mix this morning as the heater cranked into life warming up the dust from months of inaction and got on with a stack of work amends. It's an attempt at a film soundtrack. I remember it took ages to piece the right tracks and sound effects together with lyrics and feelings. We were in lockdown so I obvs had a bit time spare. It's country-city-country tale. A frustrating life in a small town with a dead end job, escaping to the city, Having fun, falling in love/spitting up and moving back home.. but seeing it in a different/better way.

This mix is put together as a kind of film soundtrack. It's a familiar tale. Happy New Year and hopefully 2022 will be a good 'un. x

Yes.. Another 6 Hrs of music!. It was a nice one this one, the summer season closer 2024. Just the me and Ben going hammer and tongs for 8 Hrs. The Rose was chilled, and was flowing. We had a nice friendly crowd all day. The event was also part of the brilliant Woodbridge Ambient Music Festival (Big Up Jan!) so we keep it pretty down tempo through the day (with the occasional banger). Great Indian street food from Verno and the team, pulled it out the bag, again. Great summer at The Riverside after losing our home from home The Table. The team made us welcome. Thanks to all that came down, hopefully worth the Monday hangovers.
