For those of you that know, Bigger Than Barry is a club night originating in Birmingham. These guys hold some of the best nights in the country & constantly book the hottest DJs & usually have venues rammed. Last year, they booked the crew as well as my homegirl Goldielocks. I got to Birmingham, was violently ill, fell asleep at a bus stop & paid for a train home (despite the fact I already had a return ticket) in a dizzy haze. I missed the event & ended up spending more money than I would have been paid. Not a good look.
Well, this year they did it all again. And I was damned if I was gonna miss out this time.
When we got there, the place was rammed. & I mean rammeeeed. You could not move. The line-up? Shower:
Oneman, L-Vis, Tayo, Mumdance, Vinyl Is...need I go on?
Oneman did his thing with one the best sets I've ever seen. I swear, that man is next level with his deck skills.
We followed & MY WORD. I was not ready.
I was on a chair & after we dropped "I Spy" (& spun it back 3 times!), that was it. The crowd went mental. I was standing on a chair so I could be seen & I got pushed off it because the crowd was skanking so hard! So, what to do? Only one thing I could do:
I climbed on top of the beach hut & did the rest of the set there (big up Sugarbear on that one).
Big up the Notts crew for traveling all that way to skank out!
Big up Charlie Victor & Natalie Esq.
...Now I never saw this happen, but I think it should become a fixture of all Tomb Crew gigs.
Shout outs to:
James Cresser, Skanky, Josh & crew, Laura McBeth, Mr Clip, The BNTL Crew & all the people who turned up & made it such an amazing night.
BIGGEST of thank yous to the Barry Crew for having us.
