It seems that some people have been playing the tracks prior to g...

Once again I’m confident you’ll know the songs, and I hope you’ll agree with my giving them all a Classic rating. As well as embedding a YouTube video, I couldn’t help, as with Volume 1, giving you a little background to each track. Ev...
This track should really have been on Volume 1, because I’ve probably danced to it more times than any of the ones on that first listing. You hear this track at Class Night’s, Freestyles, and of course Weekenders. It is a track worthy of Southport’s Thunderball Room, and like thousands of others I’ve felt its joyous vibe spread throughout the dance...
