Join Index on Censorship, the UK’s leading freedom of expression organisation, and the Belarus Free Theatre at the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, for a packed night of cabaret, comedy from Sony award short listed Miriam Elia and The Fix – and all-night mischief. Come and see a mischievous mix of Belarusian funk DJs, live music, cabaret and comedians – all for the exceptionally brave people who dare to speak up, and challenge Belarus’s dictator Lukashenko.

The multi-award winning Belarus Free Theatre, banned in their native Belarus, is renowned for staging underground and uncensored performances that draw attention to the continuing problems faced by Belarusians in “Europe’s last dictatorship”. Their recent performances, including at the Soho Theatre, London and the Under the Radar Festival, New York, have won widespread acclaim. On July 13 the troop performed a rendition of ‘Numbers’ in an event hosted by Index on Censorship and presented by Tom Stoppard at the Free Word Centre in London.

Confirmed DJs: Panik.com, Mr. Chips, DJ Perry Stroika and the Tblisi Sound Machine & DJ Gaz Nost.

Reviews of the Belarus Free Theatre:

“Intensely dramatic and extremely well acted… they are truly gifted, devoted, utterly focused… I feel humbled… these are people are on the barricades, they’re brave”

Sir Tom Stoppard

‘This dazzling production… shows a spiritual resilience that makes dictatorship look even more inflexible and absurd.’

The Guardian *****

‘As gripping and accomplished a piece of theatre as you’ll find in London this year… this is world class theatre, built on the raw guts of experience’

The Telegraph *****

The way it works is simple and the pricing is heavily skewed to benefit the filmmakers – commissioners pay £19.99 a month to post their briefs and directors pay just £3.99 a month to view and respond to them.  Judging by the testimonials on the site, this business model has been very well received by all parties and we think it’s only a matter of time before it’s more widely adopted, particularly towards the budget end of the creative industries where it would hold wide appeal for those starting to establish their career.  Vulture agents beware – the middle man is being cut out.

Go check out the platform, post a commission, bid for work and see the video showcase  here — http://www.radarmusicvideos.com/

Our manifesto is simple: 8 teams battle head to head, playing their best tunes each round to musically outfox each other. Making progress to the next stage depends on winning the support of the crowd who decide who gets knocked out. The winner takes the prize and the glory!

Musically, any genre goes. The emphasis of the night is for the audience to get involved and decide the outcome. Teams are positively encouraged to bring a secret weapon to the battle and throw down a guilty pleasure or personalised tune.

Once again, Big Rich will be hosting the night with DJs warming the crowd up and playing between the heats. Can current champions The I Team retain their crown?

There’s still a few spaces for new teams so drop us a mail if you fancy stepping up and demonstrating the quality of your tune selection. DJ ability is not required!

King’s Cross Social Club – upstairs – WC1X 9JE
Doors 8pm. Free.

Second up I thought it was about time that we heard some good old fashioned garage, RnB and rock’n'roll.  So here’s Rumble from Diddy Wah

Moved by the plight of the people of Haiti Shane and his girlfriend, Victoria Clarke made calls to their friends and got together with them to produce this fine rendition of classic Rock and Roll song.

Shane MacGowan’s distinct vocal style blends seamlessly into Paloma Faith’s and is then bolstered by Eliza Doolittle.  Nick Cave provides a giant vocal performance alongside Chrissie Hynde  which blows the track into a sky-rocketing crescendo where the driving musical skills of the band which included Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols, Mick Jones of the Clash, the Walbourne Brothers and Johnny Depp’s guitar solo come into their own!

Panik loves this track and, go on, it’s for charity – In fact, it’s a great track for charity, much better than that weak stuff from Mr. ITV himself Simon Cowell!  Listen to some real Rock and Roll giants!

I Put A Spell On You is out for on the 8th of March but pre orders are available here.
