Here's some photos from last night's Half My Heart Beats (keep scrolling down if you want to see the playlist too). We went back to our roots somewhat last night, moving into the kitchen bar where we held our first ever club night back in September 08.

Apart from some overheating speakers that cut out a couple of times, we thought it went really well. We only found out we'd be in the kitchen bar at the last minute, but we might try to swing it so future nights are held in there. Watch this space.
