15/03/14: Pulse welcomed the hirsute hordes as XXL hit the spot for yet another rockin’ party with a rocket-boosted St Patrick’s Day blowout, coupled with promoter Mark Ames’ birthday bash, last weekend.
Featuring five fantastic arches of furry frolics, London’s biggest weekly bears’ bash drew in yet another monumental mass ready to rock the block until morning.
Larger than life action across two dancefloors saw shamrockin’ shenanigans in the main room, with DJ Christian M whipping up the crowd for roof-raising commercial house licks that had gregarious guys cramming into every inch of available space.
Next door, retro daddy, Joe Egg, paid tribute to the Emerald Isle with a jukebox attack of Irish-themed chartbusters including our fave, The Nolan Sisters ‘I’m in the Mood for Dancing’, getting us ra-ra-stepping like it was 1982 all over again.
Elsewhere, the labyrinthine darkroom proved a popular draw as QX Club News fumbled in the shadows for anything we could grab hold of on a fruitless quest to get a birthday quote from Mark Ames (perchance we were looking in the wrong place).
Meanwhile, with the double celebrations in full swing, there were still hours more amazing action to come as the heavyweight hoe-down continued through ‘til 7am!
