A stalwart of the UK Jungle and Drum ‘n’ Bass scene for 15+ years, Shy FX will be performing at The Dog as part of BRKNK on Saturday 10th. As well as Shy FX there will also be Charge, SDM, Triple M, Lucky Darren and Skydro. It kicks off at 8pm and kicks out a 2am, tickets are £8. I’ll be taking photos during the evening so if you see someone struggling to focus in the dark, say hi.

Brknk & 10Ton have organised a £1 on the door event at the One Eyed Dog on Sunday 30th. Dubstep, Fidget and Mashup will be served up by Charge, SDM, Triple M and Vortechtral. Knowing the nights in The Dog, this will be going off.
Breakneck is celebrating the 1st Birthday of 10Ton this weekend, Portsmouths premier Dubstep and Grime night down at Theme. These guys throw down a pretty heavy gig so get down and check out SKREAM, AUDIOSLEAZE, ODIN and SDM.
The Breakneck and SUMO Crew bring you this full throttle night of utter carnage. This one will slap you round the face and drag you on to the dance floor till your shins give out. It will no doubt go off something crazy. Just a shame it’s on a school night, but hey, don’t let that stop you.
TUESDAY 28th APRIL 2009 – 9PM-3AM at Liquid Superclub, Stanhope Road, Portsmouth. Check the Facebook Event Page for further details. Banging.
The Breakneck, 10Ton & Sumo guys are throwing down a pretty heavy session this month. 3 venues in one night. Theme, The Little Johnny Russells and The Wedgewood Rooms.

As you may know each year we run a home brew competition in February where the winning brew has the opportunity to be brewed by Irving & Co Brewing Co. and sold around the city in the summer. Last year’s brew, the Strong Island Hopper Ale, was hugely successful being one of Inving’s best selling ales and selling out so quickly it went through a second brew run. This year’s winning ale is Dry Dock No. 1, originally brewed by Lee Immins, went on sale in some of Portsmouth and Southsea’s pubs over the weekend.
We spoke to The Hole in The Wall in Southsea who said the new ale went down a storm with it being their best seller on Sunday and with almost two barrels empty by the end of the Bank Holiday weekend. Those guys at the Hole in The Wall and their regular ale drinkers know their stuff so for us this was amazing early news with the ale.
To officially launch Dry Dock No. 1 we are having a launch party with the lovely souls at The Belle Isle on Thursday evening. The ale will be on full flow, come down and try a pint or two. As well as being on sale all around the city the ale will also be available in Chichester’s Belle Isle too, so you can drink it away from home for the first time too.
Just over a year ago, a group of Strong Islanders were sat on the Isle of Wight ferry on our way to the yearly Randonnee cycling event; 60 miles around the island spread across 5 checkpoints. Whilst on the crossing we couldn’t help but admire various enthusiasts and their custom team jerseys. Fast forward a year and it is my great pleasure to unveil the Strong Island cycling jersey. Made as a one off for the event, the jersey is our way of representing this city and all the values that come with it. Thanks to the combined designing efforts of Chris Ballingall and Tristan Savage, we were able to produce this clean, retro looking jersey that 11 of Southsea’s finest could wear to conquer the island’s endless hills. Well done chaps.
