I had to go to the Dance TV launch earlier in the evening so I got down a bit late to the Fierce Festival launch party (generously sponsored by Tiger) on Friday night.  Not that late, but late enough to miss a performance by Miss High Leg Kick.  I liked The Vaults – all the exposed brick and recessed areas gave the evening the kind of underground feel you’d expect from Fierce.

Good times were had by all, I think.  Although from the chat on Twitter in the morning there were a fair few sore heads around Birmingham.

The festival starts in earnest on Wednesday 21st May with DV8’s To Be Straight With You and Jiva Parthipan’s Terror Of Living/Necessary Journeys, both at Warwick Arts Centre.  Tickets are available now.
