Micks 60th 23.3.2024

So once more, the laptop comes out of retirement, and another set is released into the wild. This time, for my good friend Mick, with an added incentive of having the brilliant "Fishing For Robots" playing too. It was great to finally work with these guys having seen them play so many times over the past twelve months, and I fully appreciated running my decks through their PA.

So musically, the set had gone through some drastic changes since its birth, including bands such as Skinny Puppy, D.A.F. and The Normal etc, but as time gets closer, finding out the bands set, running times, plus the fact there are kids and families, the final set including Micks Ska and 60s requests ended up pretty well imo. Good crowd throughout the night, plenty of dancing, plus making new friends alway equates to a good night out. Oh, and plenty of cider too ;)
