Blueskypie Secret Party Roundup

Guests of the latest Blueskypie ‘secret party’ enjoyed a wide variety performances encompassing mime, music and even a bit of stand-up comedy in Googies Arts Café in Rendezvous Street on Wednesday night.

Featuring acts either based in or with ties to the area, the entertainment ranged from the bizarre to the thought provoking. The Subterraneans, performing for the first time, produced an engaging set of what can only be described as ‘yet-uncategorised-turbo-revolutionary-folk’, at one point incorporating a loud hailer. Local singers and guitarists Dan Lucas and Marty Radcliffe performed, with a stand-up comedy slot from James Abbot.

Compere ‘Henry 18th’ and mimes from Shhh! Productions kept the audience amused and perplexed in equal measure during the breaks, and the evening was rounded off with a 20 minute DJ set from Pete Blue which brought guests onto the dancefloor.

Normally performing in clubs around the world, Pete Blue accompanied a projection of poetry and images, along the theme of Apathy, created by Blueskypie organiser and promoter Louie Burns.

Speaking after the event, Mr. Burns was pleased with the result. “I think the last part made people think, but ended the night on a high.”

Typically coy about the next event, scheduled for late January, Mr. Burns would only reveal “It will be called Revive. It will be a bit more relaxed next time!”
