A private party at St. John’s – the 15th Anniversary of Trinity Group. So playing to hospo staff on their big, boozy night off – with celebration on their mind. Never worked so hard for my money, I tell ya – and I had this Donna Summer record with me, should have played it. Played everything but. Well, it was a no-win situation, or thereabouts.
