Jason Rainbow - 50 Years In The Making 20.5.2017

Its not very often I promote or advertise a playlist from a birthday party, but this night was for a friends 50th that I first got to know him back when I was around 20 and he still amazingly turns up at my DJ nights and originally, he booked me about 3 years ago to do this night, so thought I'd better!!
Anyway, it was so much fun, mainly as it meant catching up with friends, some I haven't seen for many years.

Musically, you can consider that 90% of the below songs were requested by Jason, but it was easier to highlight the actual requests from the night in order to get the general gist of what the night was about. So many thanks to all those that came to help wish the man a happy night, and make the effort all worthwhile!
