It’s a Cruel Summer……Here is a recent playlist from one on my 80’s nights, it gives an example of the variety of music that I play. There are so many great tunes from the eighties that every party I play at the music is different. There is the just so much from New Romantics at the start of the decade to the start of House music at the end.
