Boom Shaka Lacka!
Another great session of
5t's & 6t's RnB/Soul, 6t's Ska/Rock Steady/Reggae
Our Thursday date was moved to a premium Saturday due to Management (double-) bookings. And we certainly gained out of it: the night was rammed by 10pm. A great atmosphere.
Thanks to all for making it a great evening.
We will make sure all speakers are working correctly (ie. loudly) for the next one - we are thinking of getting a nice wall of speakers Jamaican stylee for our next date!
The mix tape is reflecting our playlist that night.
