Swing DJ sets

I have to base this blog on the assumption that only people who know me are reading what could only be described as a sporadic, barely comprehensible mishmash of the dull minutae of my life. Given that, it seems to be a little pointless to give the background to contextualise every one of my random and disjointed posts. But just this once, I shall briefly explain that I am (among other things) a swing dancer in Adelaide, Australia, and that I DJ for swing dance events around town (and, hopefully, soon interstate). Any more questions? Leave a comment and I'll post an answer!

Regardless, I've decided to post my set lists for posterity and (however unlikely)random interest. Chyah!
