Honest john Awards 19th May 2011

We were off to London and the only way to set yourself up for a big day is a breakfast at the Secret Garden Cafe in Newport.

We met the other boys and got into a new 17 seater scum bus with our trusty driver Anthony.

Soon (well after an hour of messing about) we were rollin'.

Greyham got on the sparkling French apple juice.

And Eggsy had a terrible accident, only Stan our sound engineer could help.

After Eggsy was cleaned up we stopped off so Mike could visit his favourite game machine. Minor prize also known as Pile Up (good name for a game in a motorway service station).

A few hours later and we reached our destination.
I was a little disappointed as I had thought we were playing with Aswad.

The gig was at the Water Rats and it was for Honest John who is some sort of car enthusiast. I believe they are called petrol heads by some and car dealers by others.

We hung out in the dressing room / cupboard under the stairs for a bit.

Then after a quick walk about, Eggsy got some chips.

And some of the others went to the pub across the road for beer and big plates of food.

Which I thought was very extravagant cause we had free booze and what to the casual observer looked like free fish and chips (Captain Birdseye style).

While the awards were on upstairs some of our friends, who were either hanging around or in London to see an instrumental band from Texas, popped in to say hi.

After the Awards finished it was time to do our bit.

It was a funny gig but a good gig, the crowd were there for the cars yet they seemed oddly impressed by a group of men in tracksuits from the south of Wales.

After, I played some records on my own while the others got pissed up in the dressing room and then it was time to get in the van. We also took some randoms from London back to Wales, I think they thought we were going to a hotel to party or something.

On the way back we stopped at a service station apparently. I don't remember stopping but I found this photo so we must have.

GOOD TIMES

Oxford DJ set 14th March 2011

We had spent the afternoon at MC 2hats place having a BBQ. After we had rammed in a load of under cooked meat me Eggsy and Big G got in the red bullet to go to Oxford.
We were DJing at Keble College.

We got there and met up with our contact Sam, he was ramming under cooked meat into his head when we arrived.

He took us to a room full of old crisps and sandwiches that had turned to stone.

Later the room filled up with Burlesque dancers getting changed and then this guy (who was very important) brought us a box full of yet more half cooked meat.

These two ladies were assigned to look after us, they were obsessed with internet porn. They told us about some terrible web sites and put images into our heads that would give you nightmares, still they seemed like nice girls.

Then after an hour of being told about things they had seen on the internet the girls finally took us to where we were going to play.
These guys are beer Pressure (one of them runs his own pub in High Wickham, I think that's where they got the name).
They are a covers band and do a very good Umbrella by American pop sensation Rhianna.

Then we went on.

There was a party happening.

Big G's face went all to the side, a clear indication that someone is having a good time.

I was having such a good time I did the pointy dance.

About halfway through Big G and Eggsy were inducted into the Scotch Whisky Society.

Then we were done. After Eggsy met some of the girls.

And Big G met some of the boys.

Then we went for a quick look around before we got back into Big G's red bullet.

There was just enough time for some more under cooked meat.

And then it was time to shoot back down the M4.

By the time we got home it was light and Big G was toast.

Safe.

Worcester SU 5th May 2011

We got to Worcester and had to refuel, in Subway.
Last time we came here we did the same then went for a pint across the road. Eggsy was still eating his sandwich and got thrown out of the pub.

Anywho, we were in Worcester to DJ at the SU, and they put us in a room full of crap and odd clothes most of which we tried on.

Then we had a game of Poster Smashies where you hit the other person on the legs as hard as you can, Big G is showing off his battle scars.

After a few drinks we went to the main arena to spin some Cds.

I had left most of my Cds in Mountain Ash somehow but I still had a good 2 hours of party music.

The party people were in the mood.

Big G went to meet the girls.

And he made a few friends.

I think this girl was from Wales, I think it says Ty Bach on her arm. I have no clue what that means.

A woman kept bringing us individual glasses of vodka and coke and by now Big G had drunk about 20.

We had some girls on the stage to dance.

Big G was very happy about this.

They really had some good moves too.

Then we had a few more drinks.

And met some more people who had thought it was a fancy dress party.

Big G got into the spirit and cut some moves too.

And Eggsy got into the vodka and coke.

We got a lift back to town with some of the students who all did a runner and left me to pay for the cab.

Smash up!
