The atmosphere is already magic, once inside the red carpet of the venue and its beautiful decorations of a star dotted universe above our heads make it a show in the show, we are excited and ready for what is coming on, having the feeling that we’ve already been repaid the cost of the ticket.

The first to perform is Monkey Business, an ape in” Starsky and Hutch-style” clothes climbing, spinning and twisting around a cord dangling from the ceiling and break-dancing on it, irresistible and obviously insane like most of the crew filling the theatre.

A short break of free dance with DJ Silver Pants which just made most of the room jump up and down spilling coins all over the floor…. we love you…. ah, ah, and ready for the second appearance with the drumming band Carnival Collective dressed in turquoise and black followed by the mainly wind instruments Orchestra Du Sol dressed in red and black with their mix of music from tribal to Balcanic to end with a live rap mc and some drum and bass; simply gorgeous. We could breath happiness from all our pores!

People this was just the warming up! The ska band Cosmic added few blisters to our feet While the Loundrette girls, this year showing us their prominent pregnant bellies, were trying to keep their little “evils” quiet with lots of tequila and fags and invited us to the next party in their” brand new” council flats just down the road….

I had the feeling the DJ was the father but I may be wrong….
And here come our favourite (damn! I didn’t catch his name on the microphone, just blurred something that nobody got),

He arrived on stage with an inflatable green ball and some vinyl blue shorts, spread his head in oil and entered the balloon which by then had reached his size, oh my days, I don’t want to spoil the absolute geniality of his performance trying to describe it to you with a simple “he was jumping in it at music rhythm “ cause that would merely make me guilty of a crime to art, he mesmerized us all and came out of it completely dressed like Elvis…should I add anything else?

The show continued with Roxy Velvet and her sweet kinky performance “Lolita plays with boys” and trio of opera singers that revisited a Bon Jovi song “living on a prayer” in very unfamiliar style.
Our energy by then was gone and we just sat to observe the messy colourful crowd slowly leaving the party with a sense of satisfaction, which was palpable in the air.

The Black Jack table on the main stairs, which offered all night a game for a pound, was closed by then and we missed the chance to win the champagne prize…but we didn’t feel like we missed out much after all!
