Michelle McManus for all the wrong reasons
Local arts centre in November last year.
Everyone's favourite king of sick love songs, V/VM, perform whilst wearing a pig mask.
The set consisting of:
Elton John's "Can you feel the Love tonight"
Motorhead "Ace of Spades"
St Winifred's School Choir "Grandma We Love You"

The culmination of the set was Michelle (Pop Idol) McManus's song "All This Time" being mutilated and distorted as the ENTIRE AUDIENCE of approx 100 people are dragged onto the stage by Fast Lady (the evening's support act), for a drunken singalong.

My mate (the promoter) then jumps off the stage and headbutts the floor. Eyebrow explodes, and its time for a trip to casualty!
In a bloody drunken haze he asks me to let the bands into his flat and let them drink "anything they want".

The flat contains:

1 bottle ginger beer
several bottles of rum
1 bottle of absinthe
Tea

New cocktails:
Grog - rum and ginger beer (try it, its great!)
Tea and Absinthe - not so good.

Mate returns from casualty, with a new cool scar, and goes to bed. I pass out in the living room to the sounds of the bands talking about how vile tea and absinthe is.

Michelle McManus - thank you for the music, I'll never forget that song.
