DJing at Herrang
I’ve just left Herrang after volunteering for the crash down of camp. I’m now slowly meandering my way to Italy where I’ll take up residence in September.

A-Z and Chronological Song List
It’s been another nearly 6 months since posting so I thought I’d get another one done. Back to Australia and Hullabaloo, BLX, the Little Big Weekend (oh how I have missed speakeasy) and more dancing, dancing dancing! Plenty of DJ folks have been putting together A-Z song lists. So I decided to raise the bar
ILHC and Electoral Systems
Well it’s been nearly 6 months since my last post here and I thought I should get it back going again. I was going to post something about teaching swing dance in Nepal, a recipe for vegetable curry or something similarly relevant but then the ILHC scores came out. Now for those of you who
