Last week, due to April's Whitby weekend being a peculiar one (no bands at the Spa, rather fewer folk in town), the main, in-club version of The 80s Night was postponed to October.
However, I pre-recorded a three-hour set, so that those who weren't coming to Whitby could join in, and those in Whitby could listen wherever they ended up being. As it turned out, many of them came to one large holiday apartment - with the furniture pushed back, the living room was almost as large a dancefloor as we'd had at some venues. The music was streamed through a phone to a battery-powered speaker, and after the sun went down, we briefly relocated to the bandstand by the pier for a some outdoor dancing (including an impromptu unscheduled Locomotion conga and Nellie, both inserted into the set by our designated speaker-minder), confusing the cruising youth on their endless circuit around town, before returning indoors for shelter from the wind - it did make me regret including some of the slower tracks.
If you want to stream or download the set, you can do so from here.
