Welcome to the Team DFH Friday Night Music Hullabaloo.
Team DFH Music Cabal... Because Team DFH operates more or less like a herd of cats, this diary series doesn’t actually have a formal name (once it was “Friday Night Feel Good Music", but somehow that just doesn’t work with tonight’s offering) but we’re here on Friday Nights to let our hair down, maybe light up a fattie, and get some groovy on.

Note: this approach is totally ineffective, I'll just warn you in advance.
