A return to DJing after a couple of months off, and back to Yesterday’s Shadow. By now you might know what to expect from me, but even here were a few surprises. One was the quite-unexpected request for Dernière Volonté (couldn’t resist that one). The other was the loss of Malcolm Young of AC/DC earler that day – with his brother George also having left us a few weeks ago, I felt duty-bound to get some kind of tribute into the evening’s proceedings.
