Boom Shaka Lacka! - Friday 5th March 2010

What a scorcher! A wonderful mix of friends and regulars, this at some point felt like a house party! Giulio's selection was especially tasty! And Giordano's new chunes certainly impressed and entertained. Another wicked night at the Shaka. Thanks all for attending. Spread the word!
