Neil’s leaving do

did a private retirement party last night in Newcastle for a former colleague (and all round good egg) Neil. The general theme was one of sixties and seventies with an emphasis on prog! It turned out to be quite an eclectic mix and I was quite pleased with the results 🙂

My personal favourite of the requests that came in was the sublime Got to give it up by Marvin Gaye!
