Have You Been To: Crap Music Rave Party

Name: Tomás Ford

The Event: Crap Music Rave Party

Why should punters visit you? Crap Music Rave Party is the dumbest party of all time. I'll play any request you make, so long as it sucks. Then we dance to it like a pack of dorks. It's fun.

What’s the history of the event? The parties started as a late night Edinburgh Fringe Festival thing. It was a sold out hit, so I've been touring it around Australia and Europe! It seems to be getting dumber as I go.

Any advice for first timers who want to visit the event? Hit the Facebook event and chuck up some requests or write some on the night. Bring some glowsticks.

Who's performing this time around? That'd be me, Tomás Ford, the worst DJ in the world. I get around as a musical comedy cabaret kinda guy when I'm not doing this.  

Do you have any plans for the event in the future? The show heads to New Zealand for a month and Edinburgh Fringe after this. I have grand plans for a tour of roller rinks later this year, but we'll see how my insurance goes.

When and where for your next event? Two nights at the Oxford Art Factory from 11pm on Friday, 13 May and Saturday, 14 May. Come after Eurovision!
