God,
I ballsed up going to bingo last week. I drove in Friday 28th, but because wacky
game Bongo's Bingo starts at 7, I
parked up before the cut-off point for parking. I totally forgot to
pay. Then I dropped my ticket next to my car. I went back to get it,
and found the fine slapped under my wiper. For fuck's sake.
We
got into The Albert Hall just in
time, and from this point the night improved significantly as we
played through the game. None of my group won, but the lucky bastards
that did won mind-blowing prizes like a bottle of Archers, £100
cash, a bottle of Morgan's Spiced, a Henry Hoover, an inflatable tube
man complete with fan, a life-sized Bruce Forsyth cut-out (which was
later seen on the upper balcony raving to Paul Johnson's '99 hit Get
Get Down) and finally £500.
Utter
carnage but great fun as per. To round off the night, the Bongo's
Bingo team had a special guest:
Harvey, Lisa Maffia and Megaman from naughties
garage outfit So Solid Crew!
The trio belted out a garage medley including their own hits, most of which I
think was only recognised or remembered by myself. They polished off
their set with their 2001 no.1 hit single, 21 Seconds, which everyone
went expectedly batshit to. I was under the impression that I was the
only person old enough to remember their other hits that aren't as
played in clubs these days. Great performance.
Other
contributor acts to Bongo's Bingo nights have included
Vengaboys and
Westlife, so keep your eyes peeled
for retro music stars at future events up and down the
country.
