Got my ticket today for Chase & Status next March! What a score for Ōtepoti Dunedin 💯 Wouldn't it be ace to have one of our own local wāhine DJs on the warm up too? I'd love to see Ruinz get this gig 🥰 Let's manifest this together ✨🎶🤞🏼
Handsome Tours word up 😉

Rolling into a long weekend here and I'm still getting over last weekend 🥰 So much fun and laughter on Quarantine Island with a whole bunch of awesome ladies 🏝️ In previous years I've done DJ workshops and a Saturday night disco 🪩 but last weekend I hosted three rounds of musical bingo instead 💥 Female Icons, TV and Movie Songs and Guilty Pleasures 🎯 Can't wait to do this again 🤩

Have a wonderful weekend everyone, I'll be back in the Taproom on Sunday for more vinyl goodness 🍻 🎧☀️💕

🎶 Four years ago I made this playlist which is essentially a musical version of the mental health nursing curriculum that we teach. There are written notes to go with it explaining why each song is relevant - link to the Google doc in the comments 🤓

Today was so much fun ☀️ Thanks to Emerson's Brewery and all the lovely staff and customers for all the positive comments 🤩 There was a gorgeous group of young men sitting outside for a few hours and as they were leaving, they said the music was impressive and they had a blast in the sunshine all afternoon 💥 And then a cute English couple made a point to thank me for the music and said it took them back to their Northern Soul days! I mean c'mon, there is no greater compliment for this girl from Lancashire 🌹 Happy Days 🍻

I also learned that I can't DJ in dangly earrings 😆

I'm away at the WEE Treat next weekend but I met the cool guy that covers for me last week and we are cut from the same cloth so all good!

And I've been told that Sunday Roast sessions will continue into summer with a slight menu change so I'm excited to keep playing on Sunday Funday. I've noticed that I play more chilled vibes on the colder days and more house music on the sunny days 🎧 Absolute bonus keeping this ginger girl inside playing records and away from the risk of sunburn 💯

Looking forward to being back in the Taproom on Sunday. Expect soul, funk, reggae, hip hop and a few surprises. I've got some exciting new vinyl to play 😁

🎧 Record of the Week
Maribou State 🎶 Portraits

I've loved these since seeing them live at Electric Avenue a few years ago and am buzzing to finally have it in my collection. My favorite track is Midas... warm, soulful electronica with a slow-burning groove, dreamy vocals and that golden-hour feeling. Perfect for the Sunday Roast Sessions 🍻
