THE CLASS OF 79 (Re-post)

As mentioned at the end of last week, it’s that time of the year when I head off on holiday and will be unlikely to keep on top of all things TVV.

It’s going to be a bunch of hour-long mixes for much of the next two weeks, but the usual weekend features will be there to break things up. Just over half of the mixes will be new under the Holiday Hymns banner, but I’m also fishing out some golden oldies that haven’t been available to download for a few years.

This one dates from 28 August 2019.

It was my way of imagining I had DJ’s at Mrs Villain’s 21st Birthday Party, which would have been in 1979.   It’s since hit me that even with a magic time-machine, it likely wouldn’t have worked as some of the songs were only released after 28 August 1979 and wouldn’t have been available to dance to at the 21st.

Still, it was the thought that counted!
