Dark Night in Luton - The Alternative 80s 28.3.13

A very big thanks to all that ventured out to last nights show. A tad slow start, but once the it kicked in, boy was it busy. In fact the night ended up like a mini 'Switch' reunion! (*must be over 40 to fully appreciate the comment!) Thanks also for the requests - makes my job a lot easier, even if I ended up playing for longer than usual, no that I'm complaining. Thoroughly enjoyed the night, even if I did end up covered in wine!

Anyway, I'll be back for the first on Aprils nights literally next week, with a slight bias towards John Lydon's various adventures, plus new tracks from the recently released Depeche Mode, IAMX and the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's albums. Hope to see you there.

Disposable Teens @ The Edge 2:3:13

Do you know, the last time I DJed at The Edge was back in late 2005? 

Luckily, things have changed somewhat, and certainly for the better. I must admit I was surprised when GingerJohn asked me to play, but I'm all for the fun and experience, and as I'm constantly asked "when's the next Coven" decided that this was the best opportunity any 'willing sinner' is gonna get!! Plus it was a great chance to play some of my fav alternative tunes 'for the kids' whom all seemed to enjoy the music.

So thanks very much for those few that did brave the weather and add their support to the night. The night picked up very quickly, and GJ and I seem to collaborate very well together as if we'd been DJing as a team forever! Hopefully, we'll be looking into performing another night in the next few months, so make sure you pay attention!!
