Music from the Blue Pig II

This is my set from the last Duende night at the Blue Pig recorded "live". I was playing vinyl through some archaic Bozac mixer of Craigs so not the usual set up for me. There's a quiet bit in the middle of Traffic's "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" where we had to turn the music down for the winner of the prize draw to be announced (it was a Dave someone, sadly not me, and as he wasn't in the club so the money is rolled over 'til next week - it must be mounting up now) - how rock 'n roll is that?

I had a great time at Solfest largely thanks to the ever wonderful Dogs In Space tent.

The Perfumed Garden, Sunday morning

Here's a selection of the tunes I played on Sunday morning in the Perfumed Garden tent at Beat-Herder 2011 

Floral Dance

A floral themed mini-mix to set the mood for the Perfumed Garden Pre Beat-Herder party at the Trades club in Hebden Bridge, this Friday June 3rd ....

It's got Fairport, M83, Animal Collective, The United States of America, Low and a couple of dodgy covers by The Lemonheads and The Fall ....
... and no Terry Wogan.
