La Roche Rumba - 6th June 2009

So today is the first Sunday of the Month...yes it's Farmers Market day...

but also it's La Roche Rumba night. The Southside's premier metalelectrofunkcountryhiphopdiscopunkrock club.

It's held on the first Saturday night of the month at Pollock ex service and social club, on Titwood Road [near Crossmyloof station]. We've not been before, but we did catch Rumba in the Park during the Festival and it was a great night. I've never been in the social club but I can imagine cheap drinks and carpet. We can't make it tonight but hopefully we'll make it along in July. Anyway I'll leave it to La Roche Rumba to describe tonights line up.

So this month we have a very special guest in the form of former Bluebells man, Ken McCluskey who, armed with nothing more than a harmonica, will be squaring off against the formidable figure of Mr Bruce Morton manning the decks. And as if that wasn't enough we have a Rumba début in the shape of Dignitas. They're sick, they're funny and they're probably rummaging through your dirty underwear or torturing some household pets at this very minute. However, they'll curb their more base and troubling predilections on Saturday and perform a range of songs that touch on such light-hearted topics as suicide, cannibalism and scatology. We're lucky to be catching them just before they set off on their tour of schools and children's homes. Try to get in early as they'll be on around 9/9.30. La Roche Rumba Facebook

Free Comedy Night at the Ivory Hotel

The Ha Ha Raw Comedy night at the Ivory Hotel has become a regular event over the last year or so. We've been along a few times, but not for a while. ....so when I walked passed the Ivory hotel the other day, I was pleased to see it's still going strong and attracting quite a crowd.

I am a bit of a coward when it comes to comedy nights, I am always a little scared I am going to be picked on, but I have to say I really enjoyed it. It's a bit of a mixed bag, there are a round ten acts on the Sunday night ranging from professional comedians, to people who are just starting out.

It's on every Sunday from 8.30pm

The good news it's a free event, so if you don't like it you can just leave..
