Wow, what can I say!?
Well, as we begin...
We had such a good session last night at the @HydeParkBookClub , all selectas were on great form, the energy was high and the horn section topped it off!!
It was so good to be joined by @Sebastian.Rea , his first time playing on a soundsystem, so really started to find his flow towards the end. It was the first time @Be1ng.0ne brought in some brass too and it won't be the last.
@SisStarSelecta and Sista Emma both came and shared some top tunes, filling the room with Love and Gratitude as @ImpressaSound got the year off to the great start, as we came together to bring one of the best sessions we have had so far.
The audio is now online, but the rest of the media will follow soon. You can find that and the recording from the previous 2 events through.
