My first time playing some records at the excellent Third Eye bar, the first time they’ve had a DJ I think. It was all about the comfort-food version of funk, soul, jazz and blues – a little bit of pop and hip-hop and electronica sneaking in there under the “groove” banner. I enjoyed it. Great place to play, great space. And I reckon it was a nice set of tunes. What do you reckon?
