Will you have an mp3 of the set up on the blog at any stage?
Ideally yes. The way I feel right now I ain’t commiting to anything!
Haha, Teen Flu – it’s the new Shwine Flu.
Loads of Berocca, Uniflu and doing grown up things like watching The Daily Show will stave it off I’m sure.
Nice set Niall, met Florence from Florence + the Machine wiggin out to Fever Ray afterwards

Saw you play your set Niall, thought it was pretty good lazers and lampshades were cool, Thanks.
