Well, I have to say that I had a great time at the Big Boss 1 allnighter in Margate. It was good to meet up with people who I'd only ever known through websites like Facebook & MySpace. I also really enjoyed my 2 DJ sets even if I did clear the dancefloor when I stuck a Bad Manners tune on! I soon learnt my lesson and that was the only record from the 2 Tone era that got played at the allnighter, all the other stuff was 60s ska, skinhead reggae and rocksteady with a couple of modern tunes (Pama International & Bitty McLean) thrown in. It was also great to do a DJ set without anyone coming up and saying that I was playing depressing music!

All in all it was a great do but next year I'll be getting some digs sorted out and staying the weekend as it's a bit too far to travel for just 1 day.
