Love Music, Hate Racism were holding a night down at Fabric on Thursday 30th of November. Along with performances by the Babyshambles and Heartless Crew, the Monorex boys were invited down to do a little art installation for the night, with the finished piece set to be auctioned off for charity.
Now after a considerable drama getting inside the venue even though we had a canvas in tow, we set up the space for Teck1 to begin. We were positioned alongside the Hate Racism stall who was selling cool badges and t-shirts with slogans like “FUCK the BNP” emblazoned on the front.
The crowd who were made up of mainly 18year olds loved the stall and were joining the cue to get their hands on the merchandise.
Although frequently being asked the directions to the nearest loo, the stall wasn’t the only thing to have some popularity. Teck1 whilst hard at work was, at random intervals bombarded with bouncy young girls who wanted to comment on his art or have him sign their arm. Now that’s what I call celebrity status. One girl was so baffled that I overheard her asking whether Teck was actually part of the event, or whether he just decided to randomly paint in the middle of the super club.
After numerous youngsters asked us for drugs and even one individual asking for the Ice from Sam’s drink we went our separate ways with Teck’s finished piece looking very in keeping with the crowd and also most importantly the event.
I loved the event and just a shame I couldn’t stay till the end. Many thanks to Dave Smith, for organising the event. We all had a great time.
