The Dinner Party Manifesto Part I - Politics - Setlist

So another month another Manifesto and the end of the triptychs ... April saw us take on Part I of the Dinner Party Manifesto - Politics (with Religion to follow in July).

To a Vauxhall Griffin crowd mainly free of Roller-Disco interlopers, who have now moved on elsewhere, DJ Bid-Up and Another Guy Called Gerald played two rather different sets with a shared (loose) theme, whilst chocolate Manifesto Maundy money was shared out amongst the credit-crunch victims amongst us ...
