Breakout Rocked Again...

...Although, it was quiet compared to our last event.

It was always going to be though, after all there's a big difference between a Bank Holiday Saturday and a Thursday night, especially as most of the students that live near the venue won't be back until next week. Our theory that the venue would be full of Bristol Uni freshers did not come to fruition. It seems that all of the venues in the centre of Brissle had the same idea, and obviously, the students went there.

Still, the night itself was quality, even if I say so myself. My confidence that we are putting on an original, entertaining night is growing stronger with each event, and we got loads of great feedback from the twenty odd people that were there, all of whom were jumping around on the dance floor by the end of the night.

Representing, we had:


King Kong vs. Hornblower

Original Breakout members, Tom & Will (H2O and Wilbur back from their 2003 glory days!)


King Kong drops Jonny's favourite d'n'b tune; the Marky & XRS Classic, LK. (It's there behind the trumpet and conga's, honest. My mic seemed to pick them up more than the music)






One more video for you: Benny Page's "Turn down the lights" gets people's feet moving.

Finally, Jon 'hornblower' Winder proves that not only can he play the trumpet, but he knows how to dance to drum'n'bass too...


So, despite being half empty it was a fun night. I guess we're still in the very early stages of building up a reputation and getting our name recognised, but we'll keep plugging away.

Plus, here's an advanced warning for you. Eagled-eyed readers may have noticed next month's posters in some of the pics. We've already secured a quality line-up and we've got a full six weeks to promote it so we're hoping for a better turnout. It also gives people plenty of time to sort out getting the Friday off work ;)

It's basically the same again (why change a good thing?), but we also have locally renowned DJ James Small coming along to play an eclectic breakbeat set, a second bongo player, but the thing that I'm looking forward to the most is the live double-bass player who's coming to join in the fun...
