Marisa gives it the thumbs up!

Well just look at that! Marisa Quigley from NightHawks at the Diner looks like she's having a blast with Paul Kidney and David Heard, at the Radio Festival wrap up party in the beautiful surrounds of the LuWow. A BIG thanks to DJs Matt McFetridge, Ruby Soho, Phil MacDougall and Rob Ciolli for spinning the tunes, helping create the good vibes. Thanks to LuWow for having us, thanks those who could come along and thanks again to everyone who helped out at Radio Festival.
