The Mancunian DJ, Mr Scruff, once again played a brilliant set for a total of 7 hours, with a fusion of jazz and break-beat which put smiles on everyone's faces.
The evening begins with a few brave/already wasted dancers giving it their best, watched over by a lone bearded man grinning out from behind his decks. He's surrounded by a set of video screens flashing up with the well known animations and messages saying "Wobble those legs!" encouraging people to dance.
At the back of the Forum, Kentish Town, London, the Mr. Scruff merchandise stall is set out, also selling tea and cakes. Everyone who drank tea this evening raised £531.87 for Breast Cancer Care.
As the night continued, the music smoothly changed from soul and funk to dub, ska and reggae. When the new year was upon us all, Mr Scruff welcomed it in with the Countdown theme tune. Everyone became keen to show off their unique dance moves, and the dance floor was overflowing. People danced everywhere from upstairs in the seating area, to the bar, foyer and toilets.
The music swayed gently from old reggae to new funk to old skool hip-hop, and the crowd lapped up every drop. Not all songs are well known, but you can dance to anything when Mr Scruff works his magic.
The evening came to an end at the early hours of 4am, however the Forum was still packed and Mr Scruff could have continued his set for another 2 hours or so!
