Slabs of the Tabernacle 001 @ The Big Joint

So the first Slabs of the Tabernacle is upon us. And to start things off, we have a full night of techno appreciation planned at the Big Joint.

As our first guest we are delighted to welcome The Third Man. Fresh off the release of his first E.P. ‘Before We Begin’ on ai records, he will be coming to Scotland to play his first live set north of the border. Expect to hear some heavy Detroit influenced sounds.

Joining in the night’s proceedings we have the Slabs residents D’Souza, Ingram and Hobbes to ensure that the first night goes off with a touch of gravitas.

And to make it easier for you we are running free mini buses departing from the Halt Bar, Woodlands Road from 10pm onwards.

For 5 pounds* we hope to entice one and all to make it along for a very special first night.

*Anyone wearing a tabernacle may enter for 3 pounds.

When the wind changes

A slab celebration of some of the absolute hummers - past and present -in the music world.

Here's a list of 7:

7. Shecht DJ & pure humming puss to boot - guten morgen! Timo Maas

6. Shake it UP UP - gies a kiss? Divine

5. All round hampot - Ooo arr ya? Brandon Block






4. A little bit special is this lad, I'd go as far to say his face can burn the eyes of your soul - who's the piggy in the middle? Paul Oakenfold






3. The original albino blues brother - Johnny Winter (On the right!)





2. The rudest boy in reggae music and perhaps one of the strangest too - Yellowman





1. And without doubt in first place is a reggae legend from way back when. Nuff respect to the King Stitt!
