The Life and Times of The District Club
Starring
Mike Davies : Web Journalist , Co - founder , Sound Engineer , Musician, District DJ , Guinness critic, first to arrive and last to leave. Tantrum thrower in chief.
Nicky Elsmore : Organiser, band booker, co-founder, apparently the brains of the operation. Has an aversion to getting his round in.
Co - Starring:
Gaynor Price: The public face of the organisation. Mysterious temptress. Likes to fall down stairs on a regular basis and gives up smoking every week. Doesn't like kissing with tongues.
Dai Wells : The technically challenged relief DJ. The UK's number one Dr Who fan and plays the drums like he's building a shed. Dances like he's soiled himself (which he quite possibly has).
Daemon: Apprentice soundman and Dai Wells's generously hirsute rival for the control of the decks. Likely to play the most obscure tracks imaginable over the PA which thankfully keeps Dai off the dancefloor.
Adam Bomb tried to nick my fags , the bastard !!!! Typical behaviour from a native of a country who’s foreign policy involves staking claims on whole continents let alone unattended packets of Marlboro. I got them back eventually and I was surprised that an apologetic Adam didn’t offer the excuse that he knew what was best for me and was saving me from a life of nicotine addiction. Bloody Yanks ….. Where were you lot in 1939 ??? …. Shagging your sisters probably.
A disappointing turn out this week for what should have been great night’s entertainment. I know that Adam’s brand of loud, in-yer-face, scuzzy rock isn’t everyone’s taste but we were expecting a far better crowd. Maybe everyone had heard that the beer has gone up.
What we got was Adam’s trademark showmanship complete with pyrotechnics and all the usual bells and whistles. There was an approximate 50/50 split between originals and covers but all were delivered fast and furiously. Among others I can remember tracks from The Stones, Hendrix, ACDC and Frank Sinatra featuring. I managed to capture some video footage on my camera which I’ll hopefully post on the main website if I can ever get it uploaded onto YouTube (christ it’s slow).
We’d certainly like to see a few more people next week for The Average Welsh Band – you have my personal recommendation that they are excellent.
