Hi Honey,
Wicked to hear that! I am just seeing your message only now! I have a few more on the way out which I will put you down in my first batch of dj's to send them to. One is a house track that is killing it over in London town already. Infact I am doing a PA at Ministry of Sound at the end of September of it! And another is a Raggae tune which is gonna kill it! Thanks for the support love! xxxxxxxxx

Cheers, glad you liked it. Next one in the pipeline is the 29th of December at Mr Wolfs. Bizali are also playing (they were at the benefit ball too). I'll probably have something at the Golden Lion on Gloucester Road before then but it is yet to be organized. I'll let you know.
