Soundsystem rocking…soundsystem rocking!
Never got to a gig so early in all my gigging days! Was chilling in the bar over a Redbull spiced up with tequila la la, awaiting the delayed arrival of my mightiest mate Messy. Known each other & buzzed together since the late 90’s.
Happy in & out, upside down, back to front & side to side! Crowd was buzzing to the DJ’s delicious tunes & growing steadily in numbers long before The Happy Mondays took to the stage. Old skool was ruuuling! I was hyper as a hyena.
We wove our way enthusiastically through the throng to the front & secured a space for ourselves at the railings before the stage. Winter layers were swiftly abandoned & with abandon we got down & boogied to the beat. The crowd about us that night was full of euphoric faces, a reflection of our own, living the moment, dancing until we were dizzy & dripping.
The Mondays played a bloody blinder! And so too did the crowd! For we are the party! 24 Hour Party People indeed! Still buzzing, just cannot seem to come down. No harm at all at all ’cause I never wanna come down.
