Special thanks are in order to Darren Laws and Dave Stone for making this happen. This picture shows you just how much I enjoyed myself with many great people who live in the stellar little big city on the river Tyne https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154612581935354&l=483d129e14.

Darren was the 1st person to call me to invite me to Manchester back in November 1999. I met Dave when, because of Darren and his Manchester mates, I had the opportunity to visit and play in Brighton. We became friends through the music and we've stayed in touch over the years. 

Dave had this to say about this night, "HEEDS UP!: We are throwing an INVITE ONLY PARTY on TOKYO TERRACE for our friends and fam... WHY? well we were in Manhattan last December and bumped into an old friend... QOOL DJ MARV... he's the most amazing DJ we have ever had the pleasure of experiencing... born in Philly and a resident of The Big Apple... he was dropping science at SOHO HOUSE NYC where he is a resident and as always he blew our minds... you can check his podcasts here http://djqoolmarvsounds.podomatic.com/

We said 'Marv, if you're ever in the UK we would be more than honoured if you would pay us a visit'... and then... the planets aligned to make it so :)

SUNDAY 31st AUGUST... 7pm ... QOOL DJ MARV : THE PHILLY JOURNEY on TOKYO TERRACE

Please feel free to bring your other half/a plus one

This will be a night never to be forgotten.. we look forward to seeing you x"
