Drum 'n' sax

Drum 'n' sax
A small crowd gathered ’round these two guys having a good ol’ bash underneath the railway bridge over Old Street. It sounded quite fresh, but the sax (is that a soprano sax I saw before me?) was a bit annoying on its own; what it really wanted was some propa ruff bass — or even some evil, thunderous ghetto death bass — to go with the really quite shit-hot d’n’b drumming the guy with the hair was doing. Still, all very impromptu and street and basically yeah. I particularly liked the guy stood at the side of the sax player just looking involved and generally caring a lot about it all.

Incident at 333

Incident at 333
Walked past 333 on Sunday night to be treated to a display of about 15 visible police officers, an SPG van and about 4 or 5 cars. There was something going on inside; the police outside were hanging around the entrance but not going in, eyeballing everyone who went past, so this photo had to be from a distance. I overheard a few sentences as I walked through the middle of it, can't remember exactly what they said but the overall impression was of a fight-suppression episode.
