This isn't just a summer mix. It's more specific. It's a summer NIGHTS mix, and it's made for those warm, barmy evenings when all you want to do is sit outside with your closest friends, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a nice cold beer.

I don't know Cat Empire, but that's my fault. From what I do know, (most of the rest) this really works. Bob, Dusty, Beck and the wonderful Bjork and Bowie. Really bloody great!
