The history of Roast taken from the Land Of The Giants flyer<\/a> – 1994
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Way back in the Summer of 1991, was the birth of something which took London by storm! “SUNDAY ROAST”, not dinners, but Sunday afternoon raving to the best Acid House DJ’s around. Being nothing but original, ROAST introduced MC’s which gave the music a new look and a new style. This made the music underground, and unique to the ROAST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turnmills was the place to be on a Sunday afternoon with DJ’s TAMSIN, YOUNGHEAD, GROOVERIDER, RON, KENNY KEN, FABIO, TOP BUZZ and DOMINIC, with MC’s MOOSE, FIVE-O (and occassionally CHALKY WHITE). This concept of DJ’s and MC’s were unique, and that’s what made ROAST different from the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boxing Day 1991, voted the best ROAST ever, which was at LINFORD’S FILM STUDIO, where the word “Jungle Urban Underground Sounds” was starting to be used, but played only at the ROAST. Early 1992 saw us take up residence at Linford’s Studio every Sunday night, pulling crowds which could not be matched anywhere in London. With the music and MC’s progressing in the true ROAST style. Late 1992 we moved on to the SW1 CLUB, DJ’s and MC’s still unique fo the ROAST. With the crowds getting bigger we outgrew the capacity of the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boxing Day 1992, with ROAST being so unique in its style we decide to take centre stage at the LONDON ASTORIA. To everyone’s suprise except us, The ROAST Crew, we packed it to over its full capacity, attracting people from all over England who had heard our famous tapes but never been to a ROAST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1993 was the year JUNGLE really took off, the music and style unique to the ROAST became mainstream with every \u201cTom Dick and Harry\u2019, not only plaving it but promoting and copying the style of the ROAST. None of those mentioned knew how to originate their own stylee or concept like we did, \u201cSetting the standards for others to follow\u201d (quote – MC MOOSE 1991).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1993 saw ROAST still on the move packing every venue to its capacity:- ROCKET VALENTINE SPECIAL, RAW CLUB, MINISTRY OF SOUND, $.WV.1, BEL AIR and back to ASTORIA for another Boxing Day Special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1994 …..more Jungle promoters than people, but we at the ROAST stick to our unique and original concept, that’s why we bring to you THE ASTORIA once a month. The VALENTINE SPECIAL, The SHOCK, EASTER PARADE, BANK HOLIDAY BONANZA and now “THE LAND OF THE GIANTS”, all DJ’s and MC’s are chosen because they are all GIANTS in their own way \u2014 just like the ROAST!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Due to Zatopeks, Linford Film Studios closing down the Roast has been forced to move to a new venue.

The new venue is SW1, which is at 191 Victoria Street, Victoria, London SW1, near Victoria Station.

We will open at 10pm and close at 4am every Sunday night.

So remember there’s only one way to end your weekend and that’s with the ROAST!

Yours Sincerely
The Roast Crew!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
