TY @ Cargo/

Oh You Want More…
I’m a massive fan of TY. So much so, that I think I weird him out when he spots me in the crowd, like a crackpot fan. TY, London born & bred, is possibly the most eloquent rapper about. He doesn’t mince his words and always has an interesting point to make. Plus he’s got some amazing bangers in his artillery.

He’s playing sweatbox Cargo in at the start of Feb & Soho Theatre at the end of Feb. Check Check.

All Star Lanes @ Brick Lane


Last satursnacks we took the south london crew way out of their comfort zone to the new All Star Lanes on Brick lane. Brick lane’s got everything now hasn’t it? Bagels, Bowling, Big Chill Bar, Curry, Dirt, Bricks…. Anyway, we had milkshakes, beers, chips and bowled away in their fancy velcro shoes, all in honour of Mr Pete Sale. Snazzy place, lots of easyjet orange chairs, some nu wave rockabilly’s loitering in the corners as well as some very sexy waitress outfits. A good blend of Agent Provocateur & Amy Winehouse before she met David Blaine or whatever that scabby dude’s name is.

Giles Peterson Awards @ Cargo


A regular fixture in the Hobnob diary, until a few years back when I realised that everyone was too cool or connected within the music biz to have fun. Still, it’s a great opportunity to see great music.

Just wish Mr Peterson would find a new venue for his awards, as all my breadbins shy away from cargo and it’s sweatbox factory chicken style dancefloor. Why not Scala G?

LIVE: JAZZANOVA + ROBERT MITCHELL TRIO + DORIAN CONCEPT + QUIET VILLAGE + MAMA MILK + STACY EPPS + JONATHAN JEREMIAH + KUMAR

DJS: GILLES PETERSON + TRUTH & SOUL + RED RACK EM + THE BPM
