Grandmaster Flash tonight in Worthing

Buzzer · Jun 14, 2015

Anyone else go? Jesus wept, all my dreams shattered - 20 quid for a wedding DJ.

You don't expect one of the pioneers of hip-hop to play UB40 'Red Red Wine' and then get a sing a long to Tom's Diner and then Soul 2 Soul followed by a sing a long to the effing Fugees.

And his mixing skills...he's had 40 years to hone his skills, I expected something better than wacka wacka wacka.

Bloody hell, that was gut-wrenchingly bad. I'm a Brighton fan so I'm used to mediocrity and I find my solace in music. Tonight was the equivalent of that first game under Russell Slade when we lost badly to sodding Orient. F**k sake.

My brother's just texted me. He's mixing Staying Alive with Kiss Kross 'Jump Around' (or whatever it's called). My brother has also left....

I think that sentence alone should have told you all you wanted to know ...

I hate it when illusions are shattered. I remember trembling anticipation with the thought of seeing George Clinton, dreaming of those wonderful Parliament/Funkadelic moments and witnessing a shambolic,out-of-it-figure barely able to play a note ... or indeed construct a meaningful sentence

And I bet he's sh*t at chess too. What a fraud.

I remember seeing Stiff Little Fingers for the first time. They opened up in the dark, playing the opening bars to Alternative Ulster at half the speed....the lights came on when the song kicks in and the singer was in a black shirt and pegged trousers.

I once told him to 'go **** himself' to his face after he acted like a prima donna when I was hosting a show for him a few years ago.

It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

Hope it was advertised as a DJ set. Sounds pretty grim.

Wow what a come down..

I saw him DJ in Pacha in Ibiza (larger upstairs side room) around 2002 and thought he smashed it.

He did play David Bowie 'Lets dance' which i have to say i rather liked at the time..

You do Worthing a disservice, you cheeky scamp! Seriously, the venue at Worthing Pavilion is superb and the promoters, Atom, deserve many plaudits for organising events like these - the Charlatans gig recently was phenomenal, a complete success. I'm just very miffed at this lowest common denominator rubbish that Flash played last night.

This story reminds me of a mate of mine who was a compare type and introduced Womack and Womack many moons ago.

They were by all accounts dreadful and even bought their kids on stage as something to do and did the bare minimum for their money. As their set ended, he went back on stage and said ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, That was Woeful and Woeful’. He had to make a quick exit as the big black bloke tried to get back on and punch his lights out.

Admittedly, I wouldn’t have had great expectations of Womack and Womack but it is amazing how bad some of the circuit is. I’ve seen better pub singers than when I got dragged along to Edwin Star in the 90’s. Truly awful.

He's changed his name to ' Grandfather Flash ' and is now moving to Worthing after spotting a rather nice retirement home on the coast :moo:

Street kid gets arrested he's going to do some time but he's out on bail out of jail and that's the way it goes :rave:

I saw Grandmaster Flash and the. Furious Five at some venue (The Venue?) in Victoria in the 80 s. They were brilliant, theatrical and electric.

Shame it's come to this.
