It’s been a hectic few days – and it’s my birthday today. Woohoo!<\/p>\n

Thursday 30th March<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Thursday, I put on another Offline club night at JAMM, Brixton.<\/p>\n

Compared to the monthly shambles that was the Dogstar, it’s a pleasure to put on bands here, with the venue sporting a fantastic PA, great lights and a proper stage. <\/p>\n

Trouble is, the place looks completely closed from the street so there’s no chance of attracting any passing trade – in fact people who arrived outside were texting me to say that they must have got the date wrong because it looked closed!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The cabaret was great – and thanks to the decent PA we could actually hear what was being said – but the stars of the show for me were Molloy. They rocked!<\/p>\n

Fri 31st March<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Friday we had to meet up with an Actionette in some hideous cocktail bar in the City that was so bad we waited in a nearby pub instead.<\/p>\n

Then we headed up to the lively Lower The Tone lesbian\/mixed night at The Oak Bar, 79 Green Lanes in (shudder) <\/i>north London.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The gig was great fun. I got pissed, danced about and to cap it off we managed to get a cabbie who was prepared to go south of the river!<\/p>\n

Sat 1st April<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Saturday it was my birthday party at the Prince Albert, Brixton and the place was packed to the rafters!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Belinda baked me a lovely cake with a Welsh flag (!), loads of my mates DJ’d, people danced, I got drunk again and had a fabulous time.<\/p>\n

So good in fact I managed to forget all about the extra digit that now has to be added to my already-weighty tally of years…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Celebrating birthdays is great fun – I love it. Getting old isn’t so hot though…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
