Napoleon's revenge! Ghetlow and ATD in Belgium

So last week, we went to Belgium for our friend's jam: Pirate Cypher 6 (good name isn't it?).

Zorro was invited to judge and he had the best weekend ever: internet, coffee and everything else he loves!
Jamie Bell of ATD came too, he didn't throwdown or really got involved but he represented in his own way (falling asleep during the battles lol).
I went too and entered with the local legend: bboy Hayabusa!

The gossip is that:
-It was very cold
-It snowed
-Living with a couple whose names are Yu and Me can be a bit confusing!!!
-It was very cold
-We had a lot of Chinese food (not real Chinese food according to Zee)
-The battle took place in Waterloo
-It was very cold
-Our plane on the way back got delayed by 5 hours and Jamie's plug almost set the whole airport on fire

In other news, we won the whole jam, it was tough but we came through.
Here's the quarter final against some big dogs woof:



Jamie loving the debit card!

Yu, our host with the most!

Dundee Voyage

On the 21st January Ghetlow Pirates were invited by our good friends Tony Thrills and Matt Finish to perform at Breakin Rules at the Dundee Rep Theatre. Young deck hand Loi made a little film of the trip to preserve the memory, we had a great time and were proud to perform our first ever theatre piece as a crew 'A Pirates Life For Me'

Break Mission Manchester!!!

So last weekend, me and Zorro took the win at a jam in Manchester. It was fun.


Here we are repping the Tshirts after the jam! ("It's a celebration b*tches!)


Our favorite battle of the day was against Beans and Shane, Ghetlow fam and that. HYPE!

#UNITY in the community

As the Pirates like to have fun and drink Rum, I got stuck into organising a chilled but fun Funk soul and HipHop night in a local boozer where you can come along, get merry, dance a gig, meet nice people and have fun.

The other weekend we were asked to go and perform a small piece at the Dundee Rep as part of Breaking Rules. There is more to come about that, but before that gets a post, during rehearsal period we were lucky enough to have the young SOZ (Son Of Zorro) come down to visit with his dad, providing us all with inspiration and keeping us in a youthful state of mind...have a look what the big man got up to...
