Well a week later than usual and with a good crowd in. The featured artists of the month were De La Soul, and Ralph dropped by with a few tunes for me to drop which made a nice change. Don’t forget we now have another session here on the last Thursday TRACKS and GROOVES with the Mighty AC. The next session of that night is 28th APRIL with playlists on it’s FACEBOOK site. The TRIP is back on APRIL 30th with the Mighty AC, playing for the first three hours, and myself finishing the evening to midnight.
