i think this would be a nice idea if we can find the right venue. i really want to check out matt b's blackstar vs youthman sound dvd and i know a few of us have some good vids (filthy dancehall queen dvds not necessarily excluded, either) and would like to do something with music, too. if it works could become regular. i know that myself, john, paul, xiquet and gdw could do a shitkicking good night anyway - who's in and any suggestions as to where?
anyone into trying to sort out a one-off reggae/ragga night with film screenings?
- Thread starter stelfox
- Start date
sounds like a plan to me...an hour's film screening and then a few hours of music would make for a nice evening.
my vote for films to show would go to 'babylon' - would love to see it on a big screen.
one place that springs to mind would be cherry jam - i've been to film screening / music things there in the past so i assume they have their own projector / screen etc. and it's in west london but easy enough to get to from north / east on the hammersmith and city.

Hmmmm. This could potentially be a VERY good idea.
At first blush I think the key is to find a venue that supports both music and film and gets the "almost middle aged" massive out and about. That sounds like the ICA (err, is Doctor Beck in the house?) or maybe South Bank.
Then again these sorts of venues aren't smoke friendly.
So we could do the really obvious thing and get the Rhythm Factory. In its favour: great small venue for music; used to putting on mixed film / music nights there; reasonably smoke-friendly; easy to deal with; Dissensus people and related scenes find ti easy to meet up there.
Against: it's the only place in London I ever fucking go to

Maybe get Mcann to do a video of his records -- then we could show that as part of the do.
Is that Gervase as in Scandalbag? If so, big up fella! Don't you do your stuff at Rhythm Factory...

yeah we do a monthly at rhythm factory and i think they would be up for it, space in their diary allowing...
i still like cherry jam though as it's small. and fairly comfortable for watching films.
loving the 80s mix by the way paul. it's big! some real gems on there and sweetly mixed too. gotta love the sirens and space invader fx. and how much does asher senator sound like smiley culture?

okay, let's do this...
might be nice to find a small place with two rooms.
then again, i do quite like cherry jam and it will be a rare reason to drag my lazy fat arse out of east london for a change...
i'm proposing we scope out a likely venue, do the whole thing as a cooperative, charge a small amount on the door and we might even see some cab money/a few drinks out of it, plus it will be fun. i'll gladly invest in a case or two of dragon stout for the inaugural night.

Glad you like it fella. Lotta timestretching on the sirens to get them to fit the grooves.gdw said:
Difference between Asher Senator and Smiley Culture: at the start of Senator in Court, when he does the "a-Senator, a-Senator, a-Senator A-sher" bit... it's great, but you can tell he doesn't have that overwhelming mechanoid flow that SMiley Culture has. Glorious.
Still owe you a CD of tunes... busy with babies and dancehall mixes !!
its almost ready, got to get dates sorted out and all that but i wanted to mention it cos i want to get people down there to play if they want.
its a nice place, usually its members only.
it'll be thurs nights and once a month.
i will catch up with whats going on later after yoga.
