This week people!!! 

[Trufflehunter]

just got back from payback in st nicks with some fresh 7s for this dance 

[Andy Payback HiFi]

Used my recent dose of Flu to finish pulling out some records for this. End result: nice little box of 7"s and a case of 12"s ready for this session.

Decided to keep it Late 70's to late 80's for this. Guessing Steve will be covering the Ska / Rocksteady side of things.

[steve rice]

guess again mon ami...this week i will be mostly playing a yodelling set

actually going for a funk/reggae mix

Nice. Look forward to it. Was going to bring a load of Ska and Rhythm and Blues as well, but there's only so much I can carry across town so they went back onto the shelves (I'll save 'em for the radio show when I've got a few spare hours off work  )

Excellent night. Thanks for having me down 

Must remember that the EQ on Cosies mixer is only 2 channels, not 3      Sorry about that. Still, all good for the Ska and Rhythm & Blues once Steve had pointed it out.

[Mr Lingo]

You too sir. That Summertime Dubplate is pure fire    Can't wait to hear the other stuff we were talking about    Have a good time at Tighten Up tonight.

Thanks again to Adam and Chuck for the chance to play and getting me nicely drunk. Got a nice little thing there - must come down again for a proper chat and that. Plenty of girls willing to dance too. And WhatNot seems to be some kind of modern day Lothario. We were sat in the corner and he just had an endless stream of girls running up to him    About 7 in the space of 10 minutes.

[WhatNot]

Yes yes, a big thank you and  to Steve & Andy, both played wicked sets!!  Sorry I missed you leaving, we'll have to get you guys back sometime.
