Bristols Favourite Son Returns

littlejohnnyrussells — Wed, 12 May 2010 14:38:31 +0000

The legend that is DJ Derek will be returning to LJRs on Friday 21st May with support from Albino Monkey and Dharma 77.

Hailing from Bristol’s St Paul’s area, Derek has spent most of his adult life soaked in the culture of the West Indian immigrants that arrived in England in the late 50’s/early 60’s. Derek can be found in one of three places; in a Wetherspoon’s pub (he’s been to every one in the country), on a bus (he’s travelled every National Express route in the country) or blasting out some killer tunes at one of his many gigs around the UK.

Our Newest Venture

littlejohnnyrussells — Wed, 05 May 2010 19:05:04 +0000

Some of you may have heard already, some of you may not. We at Little Johnny Russells are pleased to announce our newest venture soon to be opening in Osborne Road, Southsea. It is called The Belle Isle, the reasons behind the naming will be revealed at a later date. We’re still in the early stages of development so we can’t give too much away at this point because some of it we do not know ourselves. A relaxed atmosphere with a great quality menu is our outlay serving a selection of wines, cocktails and continental beers to accompany what we think is food of the highest order. That’s all i’m saying currently, but you can follow developments on The Belle Isle blog and on Twitter www.twitter.com/BelleIsle_PO5 for now. Keep ‘em peeled!
