As well as the musical collaborations i’m equally as excited about collaborating with 2 of my favourite Vj’s in 2011. I’ve worked consistently with both Liam (Blendstate) and Tony (The Lab) ever since we met at Project X (Tony) & Mr Elephant (Liam) in 2007, and although we’ve collaborated on a lot of …

Great performances @ Live & Free # 3

Massive elephant noises to everyone who came down and filled the Adam & Eve with appreciative sounds to the great array of talent on show from our 3 special guests this month.

Flame of Fervour were dark, gritty, acoustic with a very cool sound and great musicianship, the flamenco & latin fusion of the Hidden Half ignited a huge response from the audience, and The Heels, once again, set the whole place on fire, with one hour of inspired musicianship, and plenty of crowd pleasing ska….literally a band so large the brass section wouldn’t fit on the stage! :)

A review of Mr Elephant’s 2nd Birthday by Dominic Brotherton

Since its inception in 2007, Mr Elephant has been on a steadily increasing diet of eclecticism, celebrating some of the best underground club nights, djs, vjs, live bands, dancers, performers and inhabitants that Birmingham has to offer. Now with 5 residencies all offering different slices of Birmingham’s nightlife, it seems appropriate to celebrate Mr Elephants success by sticking 2 candles in a cake to mark its second birthday, but on the 23rd May there was a whole lot more on the cards than our average birthday party…

For a while now i’ve been wanting to create and tour a proper dj/vj set with narrative and performance, and while we’ve had a few outings and opportunities, we’ve only really scratched the surface.
