Celebration of Dance @ Bernie Grant Arts Centre, 29th April
Selma Nicholls, director of dance company Creative Engagement who run a dance studio at the Bernie Grant Arts centre in Tottenham, recently had news that the premises she runs her business from is soon to lose funding and she must find a new home, affecting many young people that use the studio for dance practice.
This event was therefore arranged as a fund raiser to help raise funds to relocate…the call for help went out, and dance crews all over responded, what we ended up with was a night of fantastic dance theatre, some of which blew me away. Hosted by Hakim Onibudo, director of Impact Dance UK and Performing on the night we had: Bird Gang, Uchenna, Ishimwa, E-Motionz, Carinne Gayle & Tashan Taylor, IronIncs and the night finished off with an amazing performance by Ballet Black.
Recent news has surfaced that the company may not have to relocate just yet, allowing more time to find a new home, watch this space, massive shout outs to all involved especially Selma for organising such a good event in so little time, all the dancers who responded to the calls for help! And everyone who turned up to support the night, much love.

The Real McCoy Comedy Xplosion @ The Hackney Empire, 10th October 2009
Back again at the Hackney Empire with a sell out crowd for a night of comedy was members from the Real McCoy plus some special guests: Felix Dexter, Leo Muhammad, Eddie Nestor, Robbie Gee, Judith Jacob, Dibbi & Special P. Felix wasted no time in picking out members of the front row to joke with, including me! Leo came on stage looking busted as usual and made it worse by inviting out a blind woman who had to kiss those mashup lips! (see pics below) she was looking extremly fine also…Special P opened up with his laid back style of telling things how they are…Robbie & Eddie killed it with the transvestite theme, but aint got nothing on Dibbi when it comes to performing as a crazy woman! The only female comedian on the night was Judith who had some funny stories to tell…Big up Audie and Heartbeat Entertainment for another night of good comedy.
Carnival Comedy Xplosion @ The Hackney Empire, 21st August 2009
Perhaps one of the funniest comedy nights I’ve covered this year, I was in stitches from
start to finish, which makes it a bit difficult to keep the camera steady! While peeps
were getting their groove on in Ladbroke Grove, the Hackney Empire was creating a
vibration of pure laughter. Curtis Walker killed it, making my temples hurt to the point
that I had to take a breather and put the camera down. Richard Blackwood is at one of his
funniest points in his career, people still ask me if the man has still got it, all they
need to do is come to one show to get clarification. Eddie Kadi made an appearance which
was a pleasant surprise as he brought some real African comedy to the stage, big up
everyone else involved and Heartbeat Entertainment once again.
