The Rainbow to throw a motherf***er of a motherf***er of a party

Kent Davis by Pete Ashton

This email from Kent Davis, the adorably pantomime rock ‘n’ roll landlord of The Rainbow, deserves publishing in it’s entirety.  I must warn you he swears like it’s all big and all clever. Aw, bless.

Well what a year it has been.

Street parties, noise abatement orders, Raise the roof parties, license suspensions, Joss Stone’s, UB40′S and too many memorable nights to remember (as with the 60′s – if you remember it – you weren’t there).

How can we round things off and demonstrate our gratitude to those that matter most – the unyielding support of Rainbowheads young and old – be it our promoters, artists who have performed, friends who come regularly, residents who have supported our campaigns – or those who have just discovered us for the first time.

Simple.  Do what we no we can do best.  Throw a motherfucker of a motherfucker of a party. Anyone who came to the Rainbow Birthday bash (in the dim distant past of April) – knows just how good these can be. Format will be similar – we will be giving personal invitations to the dearly beloved, arranging a free champagne reception, free hog roast and 30 dj’s from our best loved Rainbow brands – all of whom will be restricted to a 10 track playlist (we will set the criteria) – either in the bar, courtyard or the lovely heated Rainbow Marquee on the street outside the pub.  And of course you will all be expected to come in fancy dress – 70′s style (music/film/tv/fashion etc).

FRIDAY DECEMBER 11TH. KEEP THE DATE FREE. CONTACT US FOR INVITES.

If you’re lucky enough to make it to the A-list, be sure to dress like Kent on a good day and party like it’s 1979 in order to Keep Digbeth Vibrant!
