Hi everyone
not yr normal blog this week but please read on....
guestlist is open as normal (fill in the form on this page, just ask for yourself etc) but this week i'm going to cover the cost of DOUBLE the amount of names on the condition that if you do get on the list you'll donate a couple of quid at the door to PRETTY N PINK (there'll be a bucket and people collecting).
Pretty n' Pink is a local breast cancer charity - check the website for details. Sketchy is hoping to raise £4000 for the charity - with the DJs having run the marathon in May and covering the cost of the now legendary ROCCER tournament which takes place this Saturday at the Olympia (come down and say hello - weather is supposed to be good - bring a carryout!!)
We're also running a raffle online - you can win some amazing prizes by going HERE and donating £5 (for five tickets) and your choice of prize. The draw will take place after the football tournament and winners will be emailed.
All you have to do is go to the donation page, donate £5 via paypal or credit card and (in the message bit) include your email address and the number of the prize (or prizes - pick up to 5) that you want, should your number come out early enough.
here's a list of the prizes - pretty impressive! (all gigs are TWO tickets)
1. BELSONIC (of your choice) @ Custom House Square (August)
2. PINK @ Kings Halls (16 June)
3. GREEN DAY @ Marley Park (23 June)
4. TEGAN & SARA @ Mandlea Hall (14th June)
5. SLASH @ Mandela Hall (30th June)
6. BLONDIE @ Kings Hall (23 June)
7. SASHA @ Ulster Hall (3rd July)
8. FEEDER @ Mandela Hall (18th Aug)
9. You + 5 @ SKETCHY + table reserved + bottle champagne (any Thursday)
10. CRYSTAL CASTLES @ Mandela Hall (8th Oct)
11. BRMC @ Mandela Hall (14th Dec)
12. Case beer
13. Bottle vodka
so get on over HERE and donate a few quid - or get your guestlist for tomorrow sorted and pay a couple of quid at the door.
Thanks
Rigsy
shit one for sketchy - tomorrow night is mark's last time DJing before the little fucker goes to live in new york and be a lifeguard.
mark's been slaying the mainroom all year and will be missed about the place. so come down and buy him a drink/give him a mild goodbye kicking.

guestlist now open - extra places this week - fill in the form on this page! (only ask for yourself and priority given to those who comment on the blog or even include a request!)
tomorrow, even more guestlist will be given away via our FACEBOOK PAGE and MY TWITTER so join/follow to increase your chances of getting in free :-)
last week was pretty stupendous - launching belsonic with the free bar (and belsonic is going to get even better very soon - big sketchy playlist acts to be added shortly!!), giving away a load of free vodka, letting people in free and then enjoying the pop majesty that is fm belfast.
^^
really dodgy video of them performing 'Underwear' - the first video, put together by WILL NEILL is, of course, much better :-)

We're so excited about this one.... Iceland 5-piece FM Belfast - probably THE most fun live act I've seen in the last five years - will play Sketchy tomorrow night. AND IT'S FREE IN! AND YOU GET A FREE DRINK!
Yup, as this gig is now part of the launch for BELSONIC 2010, between 8 and 9 it will be free in with a drink for everyone on entrance AND you'll be the first to hear about the first headliners for Belsonic this summer (it'll be announced from the stage).
FM BELFAST ARE ONSTAGE 9pm SHARP (you'll need to be down before then to get in free anyway!) and are NOT TO BE MISSED, ya hear?!
No normal guestlist this week - we reckon giving EVERYONE the chance to get in free, see an amazing band and have a drink on us will suffice ;-)
