Rich Batsford’s 40th Birthday / Free Control – 1st B’ham Date / Mark Smallman / Dj Chromatouch

For this month’s Live and Free at the Adam and Eve we saw a very special concert with two of the finest midlands artists, a great chillout dj and a some special guests

Rich Batsford celebrated his 40th Birthday as well as his debut UK album and album relase and peformed a great crowd pleasing set with some new material and 2 special guests. Great talent and brilliant audience rapport. If you havent already head on to his website and get yourself a copy of Valentine Court. You wont be disappointed.

Free Control were up next with their first Birmingham appearance, and they were quite simply awe inspiring. The room was packed with people and like most mr elephant gigs, there was a wide range of people. Aside from the roaring response during their set, they also were congratulated by so many people throughout the night, they are already wanting to come back. Big shouts also to some truly inspired live visuals from The Lab (as he’s the resident visual maestro with Free Control, and their very cool management.

On the decks this month there were 3 great sets from Mr Elephant regulars. Mark Smallman, Vj Chromatouch and our resident Marc Reck. The room was still dancing at closing time, but despite the clocks going back we didnt get an extra hour.

Next month we are well excited to be welcoming the return of Munch Break and their home cooking djs back and Mr Elephant favourites Jam Jah will also be returning.

This month it’s the return of the Custom Made custodian and all round superstar dj Mark Smallman!!

Mark is one of the few djs who can play chillout all the way through to drum and bass. He knows how to rock the party, and his (and shona’s) award winning custom made events are testament to his wide musical tastes and party rockin style.

Mark has played at 2 of our previous events and the whole room was full and rockin from start to finish, so its no surprise that this is going to be one of the highlights of the party rockin mammal sessions for us so far.

Elephant Residents Liam Blendstate and Marc Reck will be once again be attempting to trick Mr Smallman with an wide array of visual and audible delights from film scenes, to monkey swing, so come along and see if the special guest can keep up, or if he himself will flumox the dastardly duo.

As always its free entry before 10.30pm and £3 after, there is absolutely no dress code, though anyone wearing a smile will get preferential treatment.

And it’s at that summery venue in moseley..you know the one with the big soundsystem, the cool bar staff, friendly security…but never quite enough room for 4 decks in the dj booth? Yes folks its at the award winning Bulls Head, and we all hope you can be there to dance the night away in a carefree fashion
