Awesome mix

Can I have permission to play it in my dj sets?

a) only if you bring your sets to London so I can enjoy them
b) only if you pronounce segue "seeg" and not "segway" - cos, damn! that bloody annoys me when it is pronounced "segway"... it started out as a joke by a 70's dj in the UK - might well have been Dave Lee Travis, now I think of it, and it caught on as THE way to pronounce it.

It is a segue (seeg)...NOT a segue (segway)

Ah well - there you go then. It may well have entered the "english" language as "segway" now... except that if it was correctly to be pronounced like that, there would be an acute accent over the final e. Like I said, it was a trend that started in the 70s (yeah, I really am old enough to remember!

)

How many people would talk about Bach's Toccatta and Fugway in D Minor though?

Actually, it's Italian, not English. Any Italians care to pronounce it for us?

One half of the band was just in London, I believe he might have played out once or twice, however he has disappeared off the radar after a trip to spain.

I have been pronoucing it segway ... its news to me the it is actually meant to be seeg. Although the ue after the g indicates that the g should be a hard sound. eg plague, dialogue, intrigue
