Ok. 'low me to start by saying, I have been travelling to nights out in Birmingham longer than you have been alive, (probably) The last 8-10 years, I have been doing this solo. No drama, I am the hench-est of wenches, but recent years have seen my crew dem grow, and last weekend there was an impressive fkn collection of Manny manz travelling down to a night held in Birmingham's best kept secret venue, PST, tucked away, but nice and accessible whatever your mode of transport.... but I am getting ahead of myself.... Free before 9.30pm? £6 after? Boom! The line up so sweet! Judge for yaselves
With so many Ruffneck Artiiiiists resident in B-Town we thought it only fair to share custody of the dog. So we proudly present the first PST takeover! Ruffneck Ting Residents and Special guests will be bringin FLAVOOOUUR All night long for just £6 !
So, some crew are driving down, some are (keen as the proverbial) are getting the 5.10pm megabus, arriving at 7.30pm... what? Ya heard me!
Not I! Booked myself on the later one, arriving at 9.30, am special ya see. Then my home girl, Jasmin says she coming too! Yay turned to Booo pretty quick when, on arrival at Shudehill, we're told our bus had broke down and the replacement would be an hour late! Raaaa!! Pint o lager and a bottle of wine later, we arrive.... good connections mean that the promoter, Mr Stringaaa, and Russell, who runs the venue, came and collected us from the bus stop, near New St Station, so we would miss no more than was necessary!
Legends!!
Arriving at this small, but superior venue is no quick thing when ya know everyone, even more so when half ya neighbourhood are in attendance! Big ups to those who made the trip, cos I KNOW you will all make that trip many more times now ya know how they do! Vytol, if i'm not mistaken, was smashing it by the time I reached my spot at the front, MC Trafic on the mic, who I'd seen once before down in Bristol at a Ruffneck night, and both dj and mc made a deep impression on the Mcr crew, we will def be seeking out their names again...
We were scattered around the room, Dina, Jamie, Jona & Vanessa were halfway back and fully in the zone, Daryl, Bronte, Victoria were, frankly everywhere, integrating like bosses! Mr Bloc2bloc was making impressions of his own and networking like a (wavy) boss! Hooking up with Stringaaa is a ting we will all live to see the fruits of, trust! Anyhoo.... I think (but don't quote me) Dazee & the ruffneck crew followed, dam, we all, without exception, have some serious crush on that gal – she rocked the joint! Dam.... *drools.... Dawn Raids turn.... oh my! It felt fully like home! With a cheeky lil Happy Mondays dubplate, stamping our city firmly home, the boys owned it – Bristol take over? Pah! Manny is BACK!
