W.A.B. will be igniting the day terrace with some blazing hot rotations, until, Ibiza legend DJ Alfredo; joined by Terry Farley and support, invites you back inside to deliver the finale. The Father of The Balearic Beat will keep you moving until the early hours of Sunday morning no doubt. DJ Itchy Rich will spin the beats inside Number 90 into the evening, whilst NVWLS supply cosmic beats to accompany the beers throughout the daytime on the open terrace. South London DJ’s Raw Silk are joined by Michelle Manetti who’ll be laying down a spicy blend of house beats with a kick, in keeping with the Bloody Mary theme of the day.
