Back in 2022 i had the pleasure of DJing a "Celebration Of Life" event in Manchester. The music was all chosen by the family to represent a lifetimes love of music and memories. I was going to record the event - but thought better of it. So here is a mix of tracks taken from the evenings playlist. Some i played on the night - some we just didnt have time to. The music mirrors the tunes i grew up with back in the day but sadly dont get much chance to play "out" these days and features tracks by Phyllis Hyman. Midnight Star, Shakatak, Kool & The Gang, System, Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly, SOS Band, Rodney Franklin, Tom Browne, Shalamar, Indeep, Curtis Hairston, Donald Byrd, George Benson, Oliver Cheatham, Sister Sledge, Brothers Johnson, George Duke, Atmosfear, Garys Gang, Real Thing, Edwin Starr & Azymuth.
