They’d been ploughing along the winding grit-laced roads for about … More A Magical Night

An immense venue dons a thick, heavy cloak of darkness, Hundreds of sweaty bodies are pushed and squeezed together inside, Multi-coloured strobe flashlights illuminate the setting, Synchronised intricately with the baseline of the deafening music, Drinks spill, glasses smash, and valuables lie scattered across the sticky floor, The speakers vibrate and boom all night long, … More Just Another Crazy Night
