I rocked up at this summers BLOC Weekender on the Sunday following a rather late night out in Plymouth the night before. As far as missions go, it was pretty random. Next to no sleep, work on the train line meant there was a replacement bus and things did not look great but at least the sun was shining.
Anyroads.. trundling up the motorway passed Exeter I had a stroke of genius ‘…Bloc Weekender is on…? I’m driving pretty much right past it… stop the bus Mr Bus Driver’ 1 hour later I was at the gates of Butlins in Minehead. Not bad going I thought and the detour had only cost me £1.35.
Ticketless and haggered, the kind promoter kindly took pity on me* and offered me shelter for the last day of what was blatantly one of the phattest parties of this year. Skream b2b Benga dropping La Roux Remix (well before it got, well y’know) was well one of my ‘moments’ of 2009.
Anyway, to cut along story short BLOC have just made their first line up announcement and raising the bar they lead with Salt N Pepa LIVE. Inspired. Full details:
