East for a feast!!!
Max and i were playing records at the George and Dragon last night and it was quite a party as Jonjo was celebrating his birthday so the tables were groaning under quite a spread, including those hedgehogs of cocktail sticks with cheese and SAUSAGES, not your traditional pineapple which was lili's twist on a classic!
Here's Daryoush taking his role as boyfriend/host very seriously and offering the guests cheesy canapes!
I was there from early so helped spear a few cheese cubes then warmed things up with a little cilla black and pp arnold....I hadn't realised Jonjo was having a party so it was a treat to see him, i remember us giving Jonjo the birthday bumps at Smashing YEARS ago when he was a scrap of a 15 year old and we had to bump him 18 times in case the bar staff clocked that he was under age!!!!
And it was great to see him sitting between his mum and nan in a purple glitter wig, grazing on his nibbles!
Max turned up fashionably late and proceeded to liven up the proceedings with banging house, his first record was "that's the way i like it" by Dead or Alive and it wasn't the last time Pete Burns made an appearance on the wheels of steel! Max is the only person Richard lets mix at the George - although i've seen Nathaniel burn up the turntables with some inspired mash-ups - which puts him in the category of dj as apposed to chancer with an interesting/eclectic record collection which is my forte...
Then towards the end we were doing one-on-one-off which is always fun as you can run with a theme or completely kill someone's vibe man!!!! I like killing the Scissor Sisters with Noel Coward or Carol Channing and Max likes to murder Lil' John with Madonna!!!!! Then we shared a cab home and talked all the way home about what a GREAT set we played!!!! Aaaah, the sweet sound of self-congratulation!!!! And the other thing that has happened is that I usually have to dj in my glasses now as my eyesight deteriorated due to my advancing years!!! Still, they're Cutler and Gross and i love 'em! Speak soon, madame xxxx
