The kegs rattled along with four hours of great selections from DJ Sean (Baker Island) at Two by Two Brewery Tap in Byker in October. I'm sure these DJ events make the beer better; it's usually the other way round.

We are hugely indebted to DJ Sean (Baker Island) for his wonderfully eclectic and enticing set at Two by Two Brewery Tap in Byker last night. And many thanks to the marvellous team down there that always look after everyone so well.
If you weren't there, you missed a treat, what with the bloke dancing with a Jack Russell in his satchel and all the free pies (thanks to the chef) but at least you can hear how it sounded by clicking / tapping on the picture below.
I'll post the set list here when I've deciphered it; I've called Howard Carter's great grandson for help.
For legal reasons I have to confess that not all of what's written here is 100% true.
