After giving up on Radio 2 and Radio 6, someone suggested I select some tunes (a laptop through a busking amp...did the job!) I think I played from 10:30 until about 1a.m. when the battery died. The crucial 'round midnight sequence being "Move on Up" > "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher" (Jackie Wilson) > "Back in the USSR" > "We Are Family" (Sister Sledge). The amp still had power, so Oli's girlfriend Aoife took over with her phone, introducing us to some wonderfully euphoric Sheffield-based electronica from Vessels. At some point I fell on a pile of logs and broke a rib, but it wasn't so bad (didn't realise til the next day).
