AW62 was a month ago, a weekend long celebration of the life and music of Andrew Weatherall at The Golden Lion in Todmorden. The line up this year was close to perfect- Richard Fearless, Fantastic Twins, David Holmes, Scott Fraser, Duncan Gray, Matt Hum, Adrian Sherwood, a literary event with Lee Brackstone and David Keenan, and DJ support sets from Rusty and Rotter on the Friday and Curley and Sherman on the Sunday. In between, on the Saturday afternoon from 2pm through 'til 8, The Flightpath Estate DJs played (that's me, Martin, Dan, Baz and Mark). The sets weren't recorded but as usual we've recreated our five hour long set, drawing on unreliable memories, notes made on phones and the CDs and USB sticks we had with us.
Baz played first, on for an hour. Martin, Dan and me then played back- to- back, three tracks each, rotating with each other- I think we got four rotations in each- before handing over to Mark for his headline slot, an early evening hour. In the middle there was an auction and raffle- that was very much a 'you had to be there' event and has not been recreated in the set below. This picture captures me and Martin in the booth, both of us looking a bit like we've just put on the wrong track or put it on at the wrong speed.
There are a couple of tracks we've left out of the recreated set (and yes, that's a bit of a tease- there may be news about our second compilation album coming soon and a couple of tracks we played in the pub are as yet unreleased but cold feature on Sounds From The Flightpath Estate Volume 2 later on this year).
The five hours of music can be found at Mixcloud. It takes in everything from dub to Dexys and much more besides....

Sounds like another excellent night. Well done on slipping Suicide into the set
nice!
Headliner 😆😆😆
Ha ha. Headliner goes on last doesn't he
When Talk Talk came on I'd have been blubbing; such a powerful & emotional song.
A Man came up to me on the Sunday and thanked me, said as he walked in Talk Talk was the song playing and it was the perfect song for his first time in the Lion.
