Dark Night In Luton 16.10.2014

As some of you know, I've been forced upon a (pointless) DWP course (which is basically another excuse for the Tory government to doctor their unemployment figures to make out things are better than they actually are!) So, after the past few days of having to be upright and act in a sociable manner most of the day, I can't say I was really in the mood for going out again, and after the last two Dark Night events being so busy, I pretty much guessed that I wouldn't have much of an audience this week, so I strategically planned to play tribute to two good friends - Billy & Marina, both whom have had recent birthdays, and that I knew were definitely going to be down for the night, so when you read the playlist below, you'll understand why! If anything, I preferred the randomness and quirkiness of the set, and as nobody else complained, I guess it went down well! And as it happens, in the end, we had a good crowd out, albeit, only a few from the group site, but that's the norm I guess!
