hold up. you gotta pay into this block party and it ends at 11? wow. what a great country we live in
Something like this would be held in London weekly during the summer and would be £6 entry max if not free! In saying that Bodytonic and Hidden Agenda do have good events but for only one recognizable name I dunno if I can be arsed!
