Rumfest 2012 Recap
Last week Rumfest hit the Excel centre in east london, and responsible adults that we are we thought what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than to ‘Sample’ fine rums from around the world. I mean what could go wrong?
Here’s what went down:
12pm: Rumfest opens to the public….
2pm: We arrive… it is a Sunday our day of rest after all.
2:20pm We’ve been inside for twenty minutes and it’s like a party in full swing, we’re already getting that warm on the inside feeling that neat Rum and crackers provide, and people are dancing to the sound of Soca music.
3pm: We decide that maybe it’s a good idea to grab lunch, noticing that some of the people around us are falling asleep in their chairs as we eat.
3:30pm “Thank God for that pie and mash!” We head back in…
4pm: “How much for a bottle of 8 year old Ron Fortuna Nigaraguaguann please?”
4:30pm: Half an hour left… “Quick let’s see if anyone’s giving out free samples!”
5pm: “Whadya mean it’s finished?”
And there you have it, thank you Rumfest, it truly was a carnival for people in denial of winter. Next year we’re going for both days!
Tomorrow night is the launch party for a new exhibition called the Maker’s of Carnival. Photographed by Pennie Smith it documents some of the key people involved with making our beloved Notting Hill Carnival happen.
The exhibition will be held on the corner Portobello road and Lancaster road during the carnival, and will also be available to view online here.
For the pre-launch event Red Stripe have teamed up with Boiler Room to throw a pre-carnival party of epic proportions… stay tuned for a recap.
We’ve just about recovered from the final day of Puma Yard, which featured Norman Jay’s Good Times carnival sound system as well as the legendary David Rodigan. This was definitely one of the highlights of a staggering two weeks of events.
When we arrived David Rodigan was in full swing hyping up the crowd and then Norman Jay appeared in his customary hat. Somehow in the space of a day they’d managed to install a replica of a caravan on the stage which housed the DJ booth where Norman Jay and David Rodigan pumped out their carnival sounds. One wonders: Will Puma be hosting a carnival party?
