The launch night went with such a bang! After a day of stopping traffic we whisked the ladies off for a quick chinese then off they popped down to Santiago's for a quick drink and a twizzle of their tassles!
Once the crowds were calmed with free booze we started off with a few tunes from The Shanghai Syncopators (half of Devil's Jukebox). The sleazy blues of Dr Bordello went down mighty fine. Then a turn from the wonderful Anna Fur Laxis (left) and a beautiful fan dance by
Cecilia Rougue (right), much to the joy of the crowd. AND... they got filmed and put on the Yorkshire Evening Post website!!! How exciting is that?!?! Click on the title of this post to see a vid of these saucy ladies giving it their best. Just try and ignore the bits with me talking. Fun game: try and listen for the drunk in the backgroud who kept shouting at me and trying to nick the camera! The cheeky scamp :0sLater we had floor stamping tunes from blues legend Tom Attah (below left), followed by more Shanghai Syncopators, culminating in the singer indeed singing and dancing on the bar in nothing but boxers and nipple tassles... oh no, wait, he also had on sock suspenders :0D
The night finished with a happily-pissed-on-free-booze crowd all homeward bound armed with artists' briefs and the like, and Nell and me gurning like Posh Spice in our happiness...
