This was just an idea, take over a room at the local Bengali restaurant, ship in some decks, have a good meal and have a chat whilst listening to some great soul sounds. Pleased to say that it worked and that everybody who came really enjoyed themselves.

No dancefloor, although the carpet took some stick later on, so a bit more freedom and scope over what was played. The Staff were excellent - thanks to Sid and the boys, the meal was superb, and the night became quite a long one finishing at about 3.30.

Thanks to all who came especially those from Devon and Gloucester. Thanks to Phil Merrell for assisting on the decks with a great set. My set was as follows:-
