Unfortunately as you may know, Fluxbabes Kelly and Gemma have now left the company and are therefore now retired, sob sob!! Kelly is now living in Birmingham so we thought it would be great to all meet up and have a night out in her neck of the woods!! Rozi our manager braved the experience too.

We left Norfolk at around 11am , I was driving so it was essential we had Sat Nav. We made it there in approx 3 hours (my car is not the fastest in the world).

As soon as we arrived Kelly cracked open a bottle of bubbly and the opportunity then arose for us to take part in our favourite past time....talking! We chatted and gossiped all afternoon and before we realised we were wasted. Yay.

We then took ourselves across to the local pizzeria called Davinci's, which had great food, atmosphere and was very trendy. We then fuelled ourselves with Pizza and more alcohol and then strolled across to a Bar call Morstons. After more Wine and Pear Cider (Gemma) we caught a cab into Solihull to a club called Aparay, where Kelly's fella had reserved us our own booth which was great as we had somewhere to sit after we had done too much dancing. After consuming most of the clubs supply of pink champagne and cocktails it was time to get a taxi home via the kebab shop!!

Once back to Kelly's at around 3.30am - we pasted out only to wake up very early to a cooked breakfast courtesy to a very talented chef!! However didn't rate the eggs very much (suspicious black bits - think this was part of the saucepan) however the rest was delicious.

With our breakfast we had the offer of bucks fizz but declined this very abruptly!

After a few hours it was time to head home and Rozi very kindly offered to drive - we stopped off at the services half way for a Magnum Ice cream which was certainly the highlight of our journey home.

We will all meeting up again very soon in birrrrrmingham for another girly weekend - cant wait!

As some of you may recall from previous posts, my brother is in a band called KUDA. They’ve been a bit quiet on the gig front the last month or two as they’ve been busy working on their new video for ‘Fake Traitors’. But fear not! They have more gigs planned for the next few months over towards Peterborough.

The video has been kept under tight security and so our first viewing was at the launch party held in Dr Thirsty’s in town at the weekend.

Before the showing of the video they performed an acoustic set, doing some covers including Kings of Leon, Queens of the Stone Age and Keane, which went down well and had everyone singing along.

Then after much anticipation, the video was aired. It’s really good, and everyone was impressed. I will admit I had an emotional moment (as I do at pretty much all their gigs I go to) and felt rather proud of my little brother (who probably won’t be happy at that comment, even though he is younger, but rather a lot bigger than me!). Well I felt rather proud of all of them actually!

Check out the video or search 'Kuda Fake Traitors' on YouTube.

Some behind the scenes shots..

I thought I'd share a little bit of info on just one of the many projects we help with Sponsorship...

Formula Jedi:

A little bit of background: "Originally created in 1996 as 'Formula 600'. The name was taken from the Honda 600cc motorcycle engine that was fitted to the rear of the Jedi racing car, constructed by John Corbyn at his Northamptonshire workshops. The idea for a race championship was developed because the Jedi chassis was being used very successfully on sprint and hillclimb circuits throughout the UK.

Formula 600 was therefore created and backed by the British Racing and Sports Car Club (BRSCC) to produce identical performance single seater racing cars, that would provide a cost effective way to go motor racing. It would also teach the young and old about using slicks and wings. In 2000, Honda UK gave their support to the formula and the series became 'Formula Honda'."

All the cars are built to the same spec to keep it even, the regulations aim to keep the performance close between cars to make the races extra exciting. Many of the drivers have gone on to bigger and better things - so watch this space.

Adrian Flux are sponsoring a local driver - Rob Sayell (pictured left).

On his first meeting at Silverstone, got off to a slow start - as he missed the first race due to electrical problems, however our sponsorship enabled him to purchase new tyres that transformed the car helping Rob to finish 12th and come first in his class!

The next outing is in May, at Croft - so fingers crossed and Best of Luck Rob!

Last week it was my birthday (nicely timed with the Easter break) so I decided to make the celebrations last as long as possible - a week in fact!

They started on the 4th with a night out in Islington going round a few bars on Upper Street. We had a few drinks mixed with some banter and taking in the interesting characters that were about and believe me there were a few! At the end of the night we all decided we were hungry and with some time to kill before the train home we headed for a pizza place. It was the most random thing –we ordered our pizzas and paid for them, only for the chap behind the counter to then call the branch further down the road to make and deliver the pizza to us!

Next in the celebration plans was a family get together around mine for some drinks (and pressies of course!) on my actual birthday, followed by a meal and some drinks a couple of nights later, where we sat discussing the finer points of boats and ships. Random? Oh yes.

From Friday onwards the remainder of the weekend was spent in St Albans and London and started with a Dominos Pizza – we don’t have one in the Kings Lynn area, and as Dominos is the best, I couldn’t resist! The rest of the weekend was spent in a blur of shopping, red wine, markets, restaurants, red wine, shopping and cocktail bars. Oh and not to mention playing the slightly addictive game that is Professor Layton and the Curious Village!

The celebrations will be finished later in the month with a night out in town with the girls doing our very best to avoid certain pubs!

There normally would be a mass of photos, however, this year I was far too lazy and just couldn’t be bothered to take my camera out with me, so I do apologise.

On Saturday 21st March, a beautiful sunny day- woo hoo! Me (Keely) and Sammi headed to TAZ's Motorcycles in Peterborough for their Alpinestar (bike clothing) opening. Where they were joined by none other than Double World Super Bike Champion TROY CORSER!! -see above.

We got there in plently of time to arrange our freebies even after thinking we had gotten lost- only to find out we were literally a 100 yards away! Doh.

When we finally got a chance to speak to Troy (there was HUGE queue), we both managed to sneak a picture with him and a Autograph- in between handing out some free Bikesure Calenders and Mugs...

Oh and also some more posing on the bikes!

We both really enjoyed the day as we don't often do the Bikesure events so we made the most of running about and getting pictures on the bikes as well as checking out all their clothing and talking to the bikers.

We would both definately do it again, I think Sammi would make a great Bike Babe and looked fab in the leathers!

Last weekend my other half was asked to Dj at gatecrasher Birmingham with the likes of Dj Spoon. It was for a night call 'In bed with Dave Spoon'.....

So we hired a bus, filled it with party people and set off for Brummy!

All was going well until the Sat nav ran out of battery just as we were arriving in Birmingham! We spent the next hour and a half driving round in circles trying to find our way to the club. After asking several drunken passers by for directions and being sent on a wild goose chase we eventually made it there....phew!

Luckily we were able to jump right to the front of the queue, where we realised the club operates a strict dress code. We were asked to line up while they checked our attire and if you weren't wearing the correct dress code they gave out yellow and red cards....

The card reads...'it's not what you wear, it's how you wear it. You are the kind of person we want in this club. Please try harder next time!!!!!' Hillarious!!!

Gatecrasher is such a classy club and the atmosphere was truly amazing. Below are the gorgeous dancers, who were sprayed gold and wore angel wings.

Dave Spoon played from 1am till 3am.So we boogied on the dancefloor and mingled backstage with our swanky VIP wristbands LOL!!




(Dave Spoon is the guy wearing the chequered shirt) but more importantly below is Dj Craig Chambers and Harry Pearce who rocked the place from 3am till 5!!



Below is a video of their final track of the night.........

I have to admit they definately gave Spoon a run for his money and the crowd absoloutly loved them. It was definately the best night out i've had in a long time!

We left the club at around 6am just in time to catch the sunrise on the journey home.....lurrrrrvly!!

Watch this space for their next appearance at Gatecrasher in May when the likes of FAITHLESS will also be gracxing the decks!!! AWESOME!!
