Bill & Ted's Excellent 80s Adventure @ Luton Underground 7.3.2020

Following the recent Hazard gig, here we are, back again no less than a fortnight later, with this time, only a week to organise the event and rally the troops for a night of cheesy 80s pop classics. And as grateful as ever, the faithful few are by my side supporting the night! Regardless of the quiet support, the night itself was really fun, and spirits are high throughout, with ironically, the last hour being the busiest.

So thanks to all that answered the calling, and to Dave for inviting me to play again at short notice.

Hazard / Rats Nest @ Luton Underground 22.2.2020

Considering, once again, the last minute arrangements for this night - I was very impressed with the final outcome of the night. With the crap I'd had to put up with from others the week previous for just advertising this night, and with Hazard coming up to their 10th anniversary plus playing a free gig to mark this occasion next weekend, it was good to see the loyal support in attendance, with a lively crowd and both bands in good spirits. I was also extra pleased as I got to play longer than expected, with plenty of happy faces at my choices, including a flurry of people arriving after the bands had finished, and adding requests to the night. This night gave me a change to delve into a selection of music I rarely play, mixed with some newer psyche, which all seemed to work well, so pretty much a win-win in my book. Indeed, I face the next few months with plenty of extra strings to my DJ bow with some pretty diverse nights ahead, so keep an eye out for future nights.

1980 - The 40th Anniversary Special 15.2.2020

So, four months in the waiting and now just a faded hangover and few memories to go by! My God did we push the limits of promotion of this event, but only to be originally knocked by the Facebook Big Brother, cutting my invitations by 90% merely due to the slight biased Tory based description, Absolute Bowie Band playing Harpenden (of which I probably would of gone to otherwise) and then on the day, 'Storm Dennis' wreaking havoc across the UK (although let's face it, a bit of rain and a mild breeze is all that it takes to put most local people off supporting a free night!) In the end, I had to resort to +100 personal messages asking friends to help us push this night, but sadly, I can count the amount of people on one hand that actually did invite people in the end! Even after all this time, I still can't get used to peoples lethargy when it comes to a good night out!

Anyway, upon first coming up with the concept back in October 2019, I decided that this night was just too good an idea to play the once, so I tried my arm at selling it to other local venues, all the while knowing that I'd probably be wasting my time, and that G2 was the only place worthy of hosting this  night. The distinct lack of foresite with other venues these days really does seems to rule this town, so we buckled down and found our night, only for me to realise our booked date was the night after Valentines day!

Regardless, still being full of hope, we arrived to an already busy pub, and settled in pretty quickly. A good crowd all round, and I even met someone whose aunt was pictured in my poster! I'd also decided not to take requests, having so much music to work from, unless the request was age accurate/related, although trying to convince one lairy punter that David Bowies 'Space Oddity' was indeed released in 1969, and not 1983 of which she was originally convinced, didn't stop her from making her case! Ironically, she was later ejected from the pub, but that was nothing to do with us! There was also a few comments about too many album tracks, but I only counted approx 23 out of the 84 songs played, but you know I prefer to host the alternative than be a human jukebox!

So in the end, all in all we had a great and busy night with a full dance floor for the best part. Kudos to those that did support, especially to those that traveled and braved the weather, and to the constant loyal. This support means the world to us.

We're officially back at the end of March for 'The Spiral Staircase' alternative night, and I'll also be DJing at this weekends Hazard/Rats Nest gig at LU playing a mixture of new punk. For those that want more 80s, I'll be hosting an abridged version of this night in June at The Donkey in Leicester so maybe we'll see some of you there!

Legends Of Music @ Luton Underground 1.2.2020

Having only been invited to play this event some three days previous, we went in all guns blazing, regardless of the hangover from the Inferno event the night before. To be honest, covering 60 years  of music did seem somewhat ambivalent, but the night was always going to be crowd dependent, and you can easily tell where they got involved from the set below.

We covered the spread to a degree, although I don't really consider there to be any actual 'legends' from the 90s or 00s just yet, but most seemed happy with what was being played. We also had  quite a few people venturing to the venue for their first time, so hopefully we made a good impression.

Inferno 31.1.2020

A usual quiet start to the new alternative year, at least for the beginning part of the night. Having been through hell and back, plus a return journey, I’d gone through a week of migraines, and Friday was no exception. Luckily for me, my trusted concubine, DJ Sharon was at hand to take over the first part of the night to save me having to stare into the glaring screen. This was good as it meant I could actually relax and mingle for a change!

Regardless, what was meant originally intended as a relaxing, ethereal and chilled start to the year, suddenly turned at 11pm and the reference to our theme for the evening hid in the corner whilst we entered the nu-metal world of the 2000s! Still, with a barrage of requests resulting in a thriving dance floor, I’m not going to moan!!

So unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’ll be back on Saturday 15th February for my swan song event of the year, with a collection of the best songs from my favourite year in music – 1980. As I’ve mentioned, FB have deemed the night politically inappropriate and severely cut invitations to just 10% of the norm, so any sharing of the event or sending of extra initiations to friends would be very appreciated! Other than that, my events are back to normal and the alternative nights will continue at the end of March, so keep watching the skies!!

The Safety Dance Xmas 80s Night 20.12.2019

My final show of 2019, and what a way to bow out. A fantastic crowd, and a very full pub. At one point I even had to leave the pub and walk around the outside to get to the loo, although the bouncer was a bit skeptical of letting me back in! The only annoying part of the evening was my smoke machine dying on me, and the lack of wi-fi in the pub, but luckily there were no requests that I didn't already have. Still, with plenty of cheesy tracks all night, a myriad of requests and a busy dance-floor, the night soon went, and 2am came around all too quickly!

Looking back at the year, it may only tot up to 13 nights, but I still get a great kick every time I'm behind the decks/laptop, and already have some great events lined up for 2020, so with that in mind, I'd like to thank the G2 staff for all their help throughout the year, all those that continue to support my nights, and those that constantly help promote my nights.

And with that, I'm now kicking back for the rest of the year, so I hope you all have a cool Yule, and I'll be back for my opening alternative night in January - "INFERNO" although those that appreciate the nostalgia, Februarys night will be a night dedicated to 1980, so keep watching for your invites.

Dead Ringers 8.10.2019

After a somewhat shaky start with the equipment, and the warning that the trips were going off during a previous night, we kicked off the night to a somewhat busier pub than usual. Bearing in mind this was advertised as the last alternative night, I was a little disappointed at the local support, but luckily fresh blood was available and new friends made, which is more important.

As for the music played, I remember when writing the set I wasn't in the most imaginative mind set, but I was happy on the night with the selection, bringing in more new material from this past years releases including the new 10 000 Russos track obtained at the eleventh hour, plus the requests which actually made for a fuller dance floor than usual, so again, a happy result.

As this was the penultimate night for me, alternative wise, you're gonna have to wait until the end of January now for the next installment (entitled Inferno) but I'll be back at the end of December (20th) for the annual 80s xmas show. I've also more themed nights coming up in 2020, of which seemed have have taken over somewhat this year too (with only 5 alternative nights being hosted in total) so keep watching the skies for more info!)

And as always, a last thank you to those that have stood by me this year and supported the nights, especially to the loyal few that attended every night. See you at Christmas!!
