Northern Lights 24/9/14 - Jazzy D's Jazzy Mix

[jazzy_dave]

I arrived at the Northern Lights at 8 pm , so a bit later than i would have normally liked. Eamon, the events manager at the brasserie, had forgotten that i was doing the gig and i had to wait for a couple of ladies to finish their Swedish meatballs before i could hump my equipment on to the table. So in the end, i didn't start till just after 8.30 pm, By then i had already downed one Tuborg lager. I think i had about six of them in the end , all free!

It turned out to be a busy night and i finished dead on midnight. So here is the playlist.
