It’s always a laugh seeing pissed up revellers relieving themselves against the wall of the multi million pound gaffes

First and only time there, got separated pretty quickly from my friends, but ended up finding the Sancho Panza area and just stayed there. Was ok 90s deep house, but all of a sudden Golden Arm appeared out of the soundsystem about 4pm totally randomly. Followed by that remix of Prodigy-Climbatize. It appeared to be the Bedrock Special Guest unannounced. He finished with Wavy Gravy. Played a few more off his album. Plus some other non beach house prog stuff. To be honest it was a wicked surprise. Those were good days. And the jerk chicken was guuuuud. Moved to Hong Kong shortly after so its sad to hear its lost its charm. Anyway good memories.

Anyone here ever catch the 3 Tyrants at the Bonapart Pub in the late afternoon of Carnival? Seems I missed that by a year. I think it was just before Fabric opened? Would be cool to hear some stories from that.

Was pretty cool Smallman. It’s literally the last thing you would expect, especially first time there. So pretty lucky. Any of those kind of surprises happen anymore?

    I went 5 years running when an old pal lived in Queens Park which is just a 15 minute walk away. Saw Sasha twice at sancho panza, I think the first time was 1999, and bushwacka another year. Always had a great time.

    What’s the word on the grapevine, Ali? Bad Boy Yardies an ting?

    User to enjoy carnival back in the early 2000s. Good Times sound system with Norman Jay and Sancho Panza and the Bonaparte were all great. One year I got absolutely blotto and ended up falling into some bins and getting covered in chicken and rice and ting. Never saw any violence when I went.

    Cankles-McJeggings Haha any pictures of a jovial policeman putting his helmet on an old black lady this year?

    Multicultural GREAT Britain it’s best.

    The old Doris would have been shot on the spot in the US of A.

      Fucking hell, Norman Jay is absolute dogshit.

      Literally the worst big name DJ I’ve ever seen. Didn’t even bother mixing the time I saw him.

      Used to play out of a silly bus too.

      Used to be one of the biggest ‘stages’, I always thought it was rubbish.

      Norman Jay is literally the shittest ‘name’ DJ I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen Alex P vom down the side of the DJ booth, mid-set, in Bakers in Britain’s worst city.

      Norman Jay was woeful the time I saw him play too. Horrendous

      It’s Norman Jay MBE lads.

      A little bit of respect please.
