Argus - What’s On - 30th May 2008
Dynamite Boogaloo @ Arc
This was the relaunch of Dynamite Boogaloo at the Arc. We moved on from Audio where a combination of smoking ban, credit crunch and change in licensing laws meant our attendances took an absolute hammering. We struggled on for about a year at the Arc and then gave up. I was ready for a change anyway - so didn’t mind too much.
The photo of Dolly Rocket was taken by by Russ Bell at the monthly Dynamite Boogaloo Saturday Seaside Special at Komedia.
Original photogrpah of Boogaloo Stu (Stuart Alexander), his parents, Dolly Rocket and Gwendoline Christie
This was taken in Stu's flat on Donald Hall Road in Brighton, by Monica Curtin in 2003 or 2004. We did lots of photos in the other rooms, while my Mum and Dad sat having a cuppa in the lounge. Then Monica said that a group photo just had to happen…! Gwen was a really good friend of mine for many years but we’ve lost touch now.
