I have just posted a comment someone else and logged on as Retroruss. I noticed I haven't posted to my blog since November 2007. Thats over a year! What a year! In some respects it has been good but generally it has been a pretty torrid time. Doing what I do (my day job) I see the effects of the reccession on other people and am suffering also. Not wanting to get political - this is a blog about disco music after all - there is too much spin and the reality is that in London there are decent people losing their jobs, their homes, their families as a direct result of a Government that has failed its electorate whole heartedly. To blame the economic recession on global conditions is an abdication of responsibility. Don't forget, our current Prime Minister was the Chancellor who created the regulatory system for the financial services system that failed. If he had been firmer with the financial services industry, who were driven by greed (and who paid their taxes), then the world would not be in the crisis it finds itself.

Anyway, back to the music. So we did a series of gigs at Corks in the West End, called Strut. It was a success for a long time then the recession hit....numbers depleted. UnknownFM spent a lot of last year off air but its now back and bigger then ever! It is still the number 1 house station and the quality of DJ's and music never fails to impress me. My show is still on at 10pm - midnight BST.

Also I am collaborating with a disco band called Los Charlys Orchestra we have a gig on Thursday 30th April details here .....hopefully this will become a regular monthly affair combining original disco and new acts!

Finally hopefully I won't wait so long to update my blog....see you all soon!!
