We have an ART EXHIBITION (from local and regional artists of all styles), LIVE PROJECTED VISUALS (headed up by SKUM's VJ YOG YOG, SKUM DJ's, STALLS, FOOD, IN CROWD PERFORMANCE FUCKERY and FUCKLOADS more lined up to seperate this event from the half-arsed ones you're all no doubt used to.
Tickets are a dirt cheap £8 (or we can arrange party discount tickets for parties of 5+ people) and it'll be a little more on the door, with free programme on entry, so GET THE FUCK ON IT!
The day is going to filmed/recorded/photographed for the first SKUMdvd, if you object to this we can paint your face or you can jog on!
