How would you define culture with music?
Roger chose the tunes that have gone into space to represent mankind on Voyager (a link none of us got). John F decided to do it with acts from the European Union as a playlist for Boris. My vague theme came after reading the Mojo review above – things that used to be shocking but are now mainstream (we played the LP whilst people gathered). Si, Jez and Matt had more random but no less valid reasons for their choices. – There was beer (alcohol free Brewdog was a revelation) cheese and growlers with Bloody Mary ketchup – Highly Recommended!
