A Legendary Night is Born - Friday Night Raw

It started by accident it's set to become an institution

Oh dear what have we done. It was a standard Friday night at Tuskers. Customers were enjoying the buffet and winning free drinks at Cut 4 It. A happy jolly atmosphere when someone casually suggested going on for a late drink. The result was party carnage of the highest order.
It was a mixed bag group consisting of the Tuskers management and staff, the Irish boys, McSpicy and Off. The plan was simple enough - go and enjoy some gentle reggae sounds at the Rasta Art Bar but it didn't pan out like that. A couple of bottles of Sang Som, a litre of 100 Pipers, vodka and red bulls later and the night took on a life of its own.
Some ascribed the beginning of the chaos to Jonesy's accompaniment to the bands opening with Amazing Grace, others to the Amazing Irish Boys rendition of Finnegan's Song but perhaps it was just collision of several people needing to blow out.
We were joined by Tong and the Riverside crew after they had finished their final set of the night and reggae night craziness took hold.
When the Reggae Bar closed the ever growing group retired to Jacky's (or Jerry's to those in the know) van for what was supposed to be a nightcap. However several rounds were just a precursor to more insanity and a trip to Spicy where one of our group 'who shall remain un-named, singlehandedly shut down the entire sound system - Go-Go dancers were literally FROZEN in place, like some sort of bad 50's SciFi movie'
When we all finally emerged the sun was in the sky and the birds singing their dawn chorus.
You would think that would be enough but the following week the event was repeated with similar reults when we were joined by a party of visiting Irish maidens who also enjoyed a tipple.
Once a week is just too hard on the mind and body but every fortnight seems reasonable so we have now, probaly foolishly, statred 'Friday Night Raw' on the first and third Friday of every month. If you like to party late into the night and enjoy a good time why not join us next time.
