Bingly Bongly “Spring Roll” was a ray of sunshine. It blossomed into full colour at 491 Gallery, Leytonstone, in partnership with “Sofa Sundaze”: a fortnightly chill out.
Bingly delivered its tried and tested mix of eclectic grooves. Strong bouncy rhythms punctuated by the constant invention of beats drawn from a global palette of sounds. These beats take you through the musical memory of travel. A journey into far flung places. Into many cultures that keep the mind buzzing with associations as well as feet tapping.

A real brick-a-brack of soulful beats best illustrated by Bingly Jon himself while on the decks, or later still, performing on drums, part of a trio whose lively mix of progressive soulful drum and bass warmed many to the dance floor.
Indeed drummers jammed while DJ Vicky kicked ass! Paygan cruised the brake beats highway while Pete Ardron glided with his own ethereal compositions.

All the while a constant moving gallery of images flowed continuously round all the walls of the main room whilst upstairs some strange and organic balloon creations by Hippy were there to greet unsuspecting hedonists. Wicked!

Thanks to the 491 crew, Jon Bongly and the DJ's, but most of all to Elliot and Pete for helping create such a colourfull visual feast :-)
