Friday the 3rd at the Welly saw December's instalment of it's monthly drum n bass event Shinobi - THE night to head for if you're after some rolling beats & twisted bass (their words, not mine). The night was started 2 years ago in it's previous incarnation as Stealth at the Fez Club by three local boys, before they took it to its bigger and better location in the Welly ballroom.

This month's episode saw the confirmed DJ - SS - pull out just days before the event, although fortunately his shoes were more than filled by the technical wizardry of Mr. Simon Bassline Smith. Resident DJs Mikey J, Ransom, Connect and MC AOB were also joined on the night by MCs Steppa, Warren G and other special guests.

The back room chill-out soundtrack was provided by the sterling efforts of residents from the Welly's own reggae extravaganza, Champion Sound. The tunes were slammin' and the dance floor was jumpin'- check out the Shinobi/Eat Your Words festivities on Boxing Day for the next hit of all-round-griminess.

Why was the lion scared? Because the jungle was massive.

Band Interviews - Sweet n Sour at the Welly Club 22/07/2004 Mad Action Interview By Andy Dykes
	After the show I go backstage. Admittedly it's partly to use the toilet, but also to catch up with the bands, particularly Mad Action, with whom an interview has been arranged. The lead singer and guitarist/backing-vocalist from Kasabian are immediately welcoming, allowing me to use their toilet without fear of violence or harassment. Read more...

Interviews Music - About UNDER THE INFLUENCE By Dean Shakespeare
	Back in the mid 90's, after the Hacienda and Madchester hype had died down, the press pigeon-holed the whole new breed of guitar music coming from the U.K. and labelled it Brit Pop. At the forefront of DJ's and promoters at that time showing an interest in this music in Hull was DJ Priya (Welly) and the Room nightclub. Read more...

Music Reviews - 10,000 Things at Jaz Bar - 26th October 04 By Caroline Murphy
	So what do the music magazines know about the sensitive side of a group of sexed up 20-some-Things! Their stage show gives anything but that impression, but close-up and personal in the smaller venues of Hull Jaz Bar and Shrewsbury Buttermarket, I can tell a different story. Read more...
