Jazzy D's Soul Notes

Last night i went to The Hampton Arms to do my usual spot with Phil. Arrived later than usual at 8pm for the 7" Sunday. Place was packed and they had ten people already Djing for the night - a record! Then i realise it is the last night that Ollie and Georgia, with hairy James, are running the place and moving on to ventures new - specifically Riki Tiks. This was a farewell party and everybody got bloody drunk ,including me, and i did not have to pay a penny towards the drinks. I put on some hot salsa,Brazilain,  and latino music that got one lady jigging about.

Surprisingly,Tim and John came over as well, both being drinking buddies down at the Evening Star.
I took some photos but by then too pissed to focus properly but these are the best.
