Long live impromptu shows

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed—but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that pro

Due to catastrophic weather conditions band’s travelling down to London for a gig I was involved in were forced to cancel. Having already hired a large-ish space in East London and confirmed a couple of local bands it seemed a shame to cancel the event entirely.

As a solution we found a place that did furniture hire in London and turned our room into a cosy lounge like space with band’s and DJ’s alternating between lampshades and sofas. The superb Kick Up The Fire, fresh from an appearance on BBC Radio 6, played an intimate acoustic set. Meanwhile, I did a little DJ set and also managed to drop in The XX‘s new demo “Open Eyes which has been doing the rounds lately.

Good effort!
