Grime etiquette
I went to see 8 sixteen 32 at the Birmingham Rep Theatre with Bobbie and her mum, who is staying with us on her way back to New Zealand. It was an amazing performance – four Grime artists trying to make it to the big time.
We were there because my friend and former business partner Mark de Clive-Lowe was their Musical Director and Producer, and he had raved about how great these guys were. And he was right to do so. They were just amazing.
Before the performance, as usually happens, there was announcement. No flash photography, no unauthorised filming, and please turn your cellphones off.
“Oh cool,” I thought. “You can take non-flash photos.”
And so I did. But apparently, that was the wrong conclusion to draw.
