Just found this, the special T-shirt we made after the first year of the
Solid Steel night at
Ruby Lo to thank everyone who played.
Ruby Lo (short for Ruby Lounge) was a basement bar in London’s West End near
Bond Street, down a side street by
Selfridges.
DK and I were the residents each month, the night was only £3 but we didn’t announce who was playing, you had to trust that we’d get decent guests. We really wanted to do a residency at a place where it was intimate, had seating and a DJ booth on the floor rather than a stage. As it turned out, the booth was in the middle of everything with a dancefloor on one side and seating directly behind so we were virtually in the round.
