beatyard Weekender @ The Bernard Shaw/The Twisted Pepper Wed-Sun
The bank holiday is upon us, and it’s only a week or so until Halloween, which means there is a potential 2 week party frenzy on the horizon. While you continue you mull over your latest fancy dress invention you may as well wander into the many venues offering sweet bank holiday parties and leave the dress up until next week.
Remember when all the Power Rangers connected their entire range of giant robot Dinosaurs to make one mega Godzilla sized robot? Well, that kind of metaphor springs to mind when thinking about this week’s clubbing opportunities, because the best of the best all seem to reside under the same roof(s).
Flying the bank holiday banner this week is The Beatyard Weekender, courtesy of Bodytonic Music.
Bodytonic ran a trial version of The Beatyard last year, and due to popular demand they brought it back for its first official run. From Wednesday until Sunday across a number of venues, The Beatyard Weekender is offering the best in live music, media and culture. With top local and International music from both bands and DJs, galleries, installations and AV shows, there is surely something for everyone at The Beatyard this week.
So tonight why not visit The Bernard Shaw at 8pm and catch some live music From Bull Munro, Chantylace, Bently Jnr and other guests. Or maybe head to the Twisted Pepper for the same time to catch a Banter talk hosted by Jim Carroll on the stage, Comedy act Milk & Cookies in The Mezz or the Beatyard Cinema in The Basement. I know it’s a bank holiday, but sure it’s only Wednesday!
Thursday offers more treats from 8pm with a Theatre, Film, AV and DJ showcase in The Bernard Shaw, while the Twisted Pepper plays host to more comedy, and a Screening of Banksy Documentary “Exit Through The Gift Shop”. Clubbing Guide regulars MR. Jones close off the night with the Magda and Marc Houle Album Tour.
On to Friday with an 8pm kick off once more, The Bernard Shaw will be hosting the All City Records & Radio Show. At the same time in The Twisted Pepper, Scribble present the internationally acclaimed DJ Yoda, performing an AV show titled “Stop, Look & Listen” with support from DJ Kormac. Later in the night is MUD, headlined by nu-disco king Aeroplane, with Mu-ziq and Meljoann stopping by. Absys Records will also be partying due to their latest release.
Saturday afternoon welcomes the Mini-Mall at The Bernard Shaw with all your favorite stalls and, Oh yes; the big Blue Bus is back with its awesome pizza! The Twisted Pepper will run a Fashion Stage from 12-6pm, and later POGO will welcome Jazznova for a DJ set, while Barry Redsettaz will run a 4 hour Pogo showcase on the Stage.
The Bernard Shaw looks to have an ‘All Day-er’ on Sunday with more than 12 DJs set to appear. The Twisted Pepper will close off the Weekender with Moodyman and Optimo Espacio running the show until the wee hours.
The Twisted Pepper will have the Basement and Mezz running as the cinema and Comedy lounge respectively all weekend for that extra touch of diversity.
Above is just a taste of what each venue has in store for the next 4 days, so check out www.bodytonicmusic.com/events for all the detailed info and ticket sales.
Once it’s all said and done, take a short breather than figure out your costume for next week. Me, I’ll be returning from the g-rave! I’m sorry…..
