Purple Reign – The Music of Prince: DJ Set

Regular readers will know I’m a Prince fan – I’ve collected up as many of his recordings as I can, all the studio albums, some boots, live recordings, singles… So I’m going to have an evening playing my favourites – and some of yours no doubt – next Thursday, August 1 at Wellington’s San Francisco […]
