TRIP 27/11/2010

The TRIP at the afroba with vintage vinyl, Session 68-27th. November 2010, playlist and Jim’s ramblings. More at www.jimz.biz and Jim B. Donovan and Afroba Group on Facebook.
Standing room only and the bar nearly drunk dry!, plus me playing a few tunes just about sums up another very busy evening. However a quiet start where I got to drop some “winter” tunes, then a nice middle section “build”, then right “up” to end where we had to say goodbye at midnight. Kirsten and Jess really worked their socks off-if they were wearing any !-behind the bar, and so nice to see Liam and his mates in celebrating a birthday. The Mighty AC also was in the house fresh from his brilliant session Tracks and Grooves at the afroba, two nights earlier. His next session is on December 23 rd, so skip the late Christmas shopping and drop in to drop out!
The next session of the TRIP is on FRIDAY 17th DECEMBER, our annual Xmas special. There is the possibility that we may run with a New Years Eve session, so keep an eye on the posters in the afroba, or either join the facebook group, or attend the next session to keep in touch. Also don’t forget the recorded session 68 gets played back, all five and a half hours of it at the afroba during the week.
