Street Gig - Barefoot Dancing In The Rain

Persisting it down most of the night, but I manage to stay (mostly) dry. There's Sophia and her friend who sing choruses on 'She Loves You' despite only knowing 4 words, one of which is 'Yeah'. Think about it! There's Lars and his Bono... See More

Big Dave Albion Decides To Ride His Bike

Big Dave Albion is a big friendly bear. Well usually he is. Tonight he's trying to kick off against almost everyone. My people never fight, I don't want it to change. At the last second Dave decides to ride his bike home instead. So still no fights, but damn, that was close.

Bitter And Twisted Lilly Allen Style Sing-A-Long Chorus

James and Ruri are making a video about the whole folkdisco experience, so I'm out ridiculously early for a change. They filmed me a bit a couple of weeks back, but they need more. The boys get some good shots, and some crazy footage of... See More

Street Gig - Crazy Falsetto

Tonight is a hazy memory of happy drunks. Forget most of their names but Erika, Sarah, Josephin, Erik, Alex, Per and Aage stuck. Aage had this crazy falsetto like Curt Cobain on 'Lake Of Fire', he'd be good at cartoon voiceovers. MC Sami... See More
