Club Tip CMU Approved
Approved: The Canal Party 2009 (CMU Friday Tips)
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 12 June 2009
VIGSY’S CLUB TIP: The Canal Party #1 at The Grand Union
The people behind Canal Party #1 are dubbing the Park Royal as the new Ibiza – perhaps slightly ambitiously – though when the tube drivers go on strike, it probably takes as long to get there from here in Shoreditch as Ibiza. Anyway, some of the ‘best of the west’ London promoters are uniting for this, the first of a number of joint events planned for this summer at The Grand Union Canal terrace and courtyard. It’s a brand new venture featuring some tough jocks; one of my fave’s Phil ‘Phlash’ Asher from Inspiration Information, Stuart Patterson from East Village/Soulsonic, Matt Brown from Sancho Panza (NB SP always rock the carnival) and Barry Ashworth from the mighty Dub Pistols. With a BBQ until 8pm, and some sort of mini photo booth thing going on, there is sure to be a bit of a festival vibe here, even if the sun doesn’t shine quite like it does on the White Isle. That said, the weather forecast is actually quite good, so make your way to Park Royal for an all day extravaganza with reggae, disco and proper quality house sounds until the sun goes down, and then some.
Saturday 13 Jun, The Grand Junction Arms, Canal Bridge, Acton Lane, Park Royal, NW10 7AD, 5pm-4am, £7 plus booking fee in advance from ticketweb.co.uk or Honest Jon’s Portobello Rd. Press Info from Rosalia at FerraraPR.
