Dsoulie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Cheers Martyn, Not a good night to Dj when your stuck between the big guns of the rare soul scene, but I think I survived somehow. Hope everyone that was there enjoyed it, and for those who were not there wished they had been there. Thanks again to the promoters for the invite to Dj.
