IS it Muddy Promotions running it? I should get in touch and see if they need any lighting, doubt they got the budget for it tho. I might come as a punter if i can afford it. Still DJing? Done any gigs recently?
Cheers! I feel popular now. I'm well up for grass roots, if i can get in for free that would be a bonus. Have no idea when or where or whats on though. I'm about alot in cambridge at the mo so pop over some time.
Here's something new and real special rising in Peterborough for the first time this September - hope you can all make it - with the support and energy of all you positive party ppl we can all have the most amazing vibe going off in our small town!
