A year today 💔 We miss you Dad..

This photo was taken in Rome just over 10 years ago when I got married. In true style, Dad thoroughly over-enjoyed himself that day, making the most of the occasion, heckling his way thru my meandering speech, bringing the jokes & the vibes, the life and the soul of a party, as always..

Thank you for my start in life Dad, particularly passing on your love of music. For that and everything else - I’m eternally grateful 🙏

Hope it’s more peaceful where you are, it’s a bit of a shit show here right now 🌍

Love you ❤️❤️❤️ by @jamesdpriestley

Proud to announce the release of ‘Hearts Not Hype’, a documentary made in partnership with @audiotechnica_eu celebrating 20 years of Secretsundaze

Filmed over the course of our 20th anniversary in 2022, it traces Giles & I meeting at school all the way through to the modern day with the birth of @spirit_of_sundaze_ensemble. Featuring exclusive interviews, never-seen-before images and words from Paquita Gordon, @colleencosmomurphy @marcelluspittman and dancefloor regulars, the film offers a window into what Secretsundaze stands for, has achieved and why 💛

A massive thanks to those involved in bringing this together, especially Edward at Audio-Technica, Aaron & Jake at @heard.agency @___jerrydobson @harpergfuego and everyone else who’s been a part of our journey till now, much love to you all 🙏

Perugia bound.. 🇮🇹 💛

Looking forward to playing at @tangramclub tomorrow with brothers @djstucci and @max_pdj

I first played for Stefano in 2007 just after my debut EP on @willsaul9 Simple Records dropped. Stefano had ordered a bunch for his record store and contacted my via MySpace to see if i wanted to come n play. We’ve kept in touch since and played together half a dozen or so times over the years ✨✨✨

Have a deep connection with Italy, the country the people and always have an extra special time playing there.. ❤️

And can’t wait to get deep with Umbria’s food game for the weekend too 🙏 😋
