All props to everyone who came to The Tempest Inn on Saturday to dance with us at English Disco Lovers Cheeky beach party! People came from BRISTOL for it!
It's lovely to see friends old and new out on the floor for my do's, it means the world and Saturday was a great swan song as I am off for the winter to work in Marine Conservation in Africa, bit of touring and listen to music, music music. And bring it back and play it to you I hope!
The awesome people at
https://www.facebook.com/marinemammalsKenya need a DJ obviously, so I'm going to be podcasting and blogging about Marine Conversation from a standing start with absolutely NO experience: I'll put up the intro link soon and it'd be great to get your feedback on the road. 'Out to Africa' it'll be called..
I'm already booked in for Fringe stuff so I'll see you in April, tara.
