Friday 12th February 2010
7pm-11pm
Our first 2010 date was scheduled on a Friday evening. What a mad and wicked night! Probably our busiest session ever!
We included a tribute to Lyn Taitt by playing a large selection of tracks he produced, created or played on - from Ska to Reggae, especially his trademark style on Rock Steady, which he was a key player (if not inventor) of - check out our special mix below.
We were visited by a German TV documentary film crew - can't wait to see the result (this will not be a documentary on Boom Shaka Lacka though, maybe next time!).
In spite of a compact crowd, some dancefloor action was taking place, and the camera-man loved it (he happened to be a Reggae fan, so ended up filming quite a lot of the dancing and of the records spinning on the decks!)...
Thanks to all of you who made it so special!
