Annual Benefit Night:

A BIG THANK YOU to DJs, helpers, and everyone came along to Kabu 2009... we raised £1785 for the BCSW charity.

A once a year night with a difference. Two rooms of female DJs playing a wide, wide range of high quality danceable music: electro, funky house, breakbeat, drum'n'bass, techno, disco, bassline and dubstep, soul, party beats, reggae mashup and hip hop. And a can-can troupe to boot!!

 


Featuring:
Full on décor and projections; the Red Hot Frilly Kickers can-can troupe and the Sirenz dancers; a covered outdoor chillout balcony and the gorgeous Tequila Fairies, plus fruit and ice pops.

Expect a great atmosphere and an up for it crowd!

 

 

The charity this year:
Bristol Crisis Service for Women. They offer support to women in emotional distress, and particularly to those who self-injure. More about BCSW.
