 Nene Vally Saturday 9th August 2008

The first event took place on Saturday 9th August 2008 with his resident DJ Baz Looker leading the way on the decks playing Northern, Motown and Classics, I think Gibby must of been pleased with how the first night went, with guest DJ Steve Brown playing some great tunes.
