CROWD:
Not a very big crowd tonight but this event still in its early stages, so we looking forward to what they have in store for us in the future. In other news, plenty dread heads inna d' place! Even the odd bald-head rasta could be spotted. At one point we thought we saw Damian Marley, but our hopes were probably just a bit too high. Generally everyone was approachable and yuh could mingle. Yuh know how we do!
VENUE/ACCESSIBILITY:
Bedroom Bar is a fairly decent sized venue located in Shoreditch, in the city of London. Not totally central,but still fairly easy to get to. We take one bus there, then a five minutes walk from Shoreditch High Street, so it can't be that hard for people to get to.. Plus we coming from far, so yuh know....
A wide range of drinks available, friendly bar staff, good service, nice space, and a late night licence! What more yuh want?
VIBES:
Well yes.. the session was nice! Music was on point tonight. Along with 'xoThermik Sounds' there were performers like Cartz, Wundah, Amy Othieno and Lante London, members of Blessed Youth Entertainment. We even had some talented individuals in the crowd who made sure to take advantage of the open-mic session. The only downfall we had to comment on was the late start... We felt we were waiting a bit too long and some people looked bored. Other than that, it was real good to hear some live Reggae vibes... We want more!!
FOOD & DRINKS:
The bar was filled with different beers, wines, spirits and cocktails. But £3.80 for a Corona?! Am I wrong in saying that that's a bit over the standard price? Though I guess yuh could argue the fact that we in London; a city where anything is possible. There was no food being served, but we come to jam and feel the vibe not eat, right? Besides, there's nuff places nearby where yuh could nyam yuh food.
SERVICE:
This one could take a cool eight. At first mr. barman like he wasn't too familiar with Caribbean accents, but after a while he got the hang of it..but that's minor. We still got service with a smile! TJJ thanks you. Promoters, a bit more work to do for the future, but we have faith in you!
COST/VALUE:
Entrance fee: £4.00 on the door...
The good music, the cool vibe, the nice people, definitely made it worth it!
The only thing that concerned us was the starting time and the turn-out.
But other than dat, feel d' rhythm, feel d' vibe!
Nuttin' but d' best... we keepin' it Phresh!
