Hi, listers!

I'm here in Melbourne for a couple of weeks. One morning, i read in the
local free press that Gilles P himself will be playing at a local bar
called The Lounge, for only 15A$ (about 4£). Waouuu! I arrived at the
bar at 9.3O PM, cause capacity was small, as said the flyer...Nobody or
almost! A local AJ live band played quite good for one hour then a local
DJ did a pretty cool warm-up. And Gilles P arrived. A cool guy, we had a
little conversation during 1O minutes, he's in tout in Oceania-Asia for
1O days then will go to NY to meet the Masters at Work! Nuyorican Soul
II is in good way. Other infos: new Urban Species Lp will go out in
march and 4 Hero's LP in april. Now, the set itself: about two hours of
tasty groove, starting by vintage AJ classics or JB's instrumentals,
then sophisticated D&B (4 Hero's mix of Black Gold of the Sun, 2 or 3
tunes from Roni Size's New Forms LP) and at last You can do it Baby by
George Benson...The dance floor was packed up from the very beginning
'til the end, sweaty and screaming. Quite a good night, don't you think
?

Sorry for my english, i'm français...
