On This Day - 29th of December 2006

 

On this day… 19 years ago

29th of December 2006. Day 1 of the Peats Ridge Festival, 4 days of ‘world music, blues roots & dub, chilled beats, contemporary music’.

Stunning location on the Central Coast of NSW (not too far from where we live now), sunshine & good vibes, beautiful way to welcome the new year & I got to play 2 DJ sets (as Social Living in those days) 😊🔈

Some dubby Balearic stuff in one of the big tents (early afternoon, on the first day I think, to very few people 😆) & later in the weekend a reggae set in the Dub Shack - all vinyl for both - happy days 😊

Such a good festival - beautiful location, lots of reggae & dub, swimming in the lagoon, Chai tent, Banco De Gaia for NYE. Good memories 😊

On this day… 34 years ago.

11th of September 1991. Flowered Up at The Event, Brighton. Support from Soul Family Sensation & DJ Terry Farley.

Saw Flowered Up a few times, great band, always very vibey. Good times 🔈

It’s On & Weekender (+ Weatherall remixes) are still top tunes 🔈
The Flowered Up album was reissued last year with extra tracks & some new remixes - all good stuff, go check it out 😊
Had a listen to the Soul Family Sensation album earlier, for the first time in many years, enjoyed it 😊
