PROMOTORCYCLIST
I have also put on monthly gigs in Cardiif at an underground club called Tafod..
The nights were called Lunaria, as defined below, and were held on a Full Moon..
As well as booking/ hosting the acts, I also did sound and lights and a bit of dj-ing. When things got a bit too much, I drafted in help from my good friends Simon from widelode ( visuals) , alan morse { dj, artwork ), jez ( sound ), owen from csp ( promotion) ash from spillers (dj), pascal ( dj), and of course my wonderful partner louise ( dj, photography, promotion, decor and inspiration )
Acts that I put on included
Right Hand Left Hand / Strange News From Another Star / Gallops / King Alexander / Black Cesar / Big Naturals / Martin Carr / Broken Leaf / Evils / Alex Dingley / Graveyard Johnnys / Yeltzin
and some great dj's such as Daf from spillers (ODG) , Mark Foley (musicbox) , beev and ben from da p-town cru, and even bringing the legendary dj rascal ( amsterdam ) out of retirement..
