DJs 9pm - 2.30am
FREE ALL NIGHT!
This was an extra big night for us as we put on two shows in one evening!
The Scribes
played both sets at the Kaff bar and the Albert, with the first gig being for the Brixton Buzz beer launch.
Also playing at Kaff was the marvellous Mrs Mills Experience, and back at the Albert we had the usual drinking and dancing with DJs playing party-sized earfuls of ska, electro, punk, rock'n'roll, Motown, dancehall, big band, Mrs Mills, Beyonce and rockabilly till 2.30am!
PHOTOS FROM THE DANCEFLOOR:
We're very much involved with the Brixton Buzz beer project (all profits go to the local Soup Kitchen) and we were delighted to find out that the beer had sold out very quickly indeed - in fact, the whole load had gone within 52 minutes!
Straight outta Bristol and Plymouth, The Scribes put in a fantastic hip-hop set at Kaff.
After the Kaff show, the party continued at a packed Prince Albert, a short walk away, where the crowd were even wilder.
THE SCRIBES
Serving up a witty, unique brand of intelligent, gritty hip hop, this Bristol trio were described as 'UK's hottest hip hop' by 24-7 Magazine and scooped up Exposure Music's 2011 Award for 'Best UK Urban Act.'
The Scribes are hotly tipped as one to watch for 2013 with their own headline tour across the UK and support slots with the likes of Annie Mac, Souls Of Mischief, MF Doom, De La Soul and Wu Tang Clan's GZA, and are steadily establishing a growing following nationwide to add to their already significant fan base, with appeal reaching far beyond traditional hip hop. "One not to miss"Music Week "Raw and exciting, honest and sensitive, a soulful brand of rap" Metro UK 'Some of the sickest hip hop to come out of the UK, filled with banging beats and heartfelt poetry' UndergroundHH.com
