Surrey Party - This was a lovely late summer party at a beautiful house in Surrey. The purpose was to celebrate a 50th Birthday Party and what a party it was.

50th Party in Surrey - Reggae Ska and a bit of 80's. I was approached by the Head of School at Surrey University to DJ at her 50th after a recommendation from her students, which was nice.
