Well, here we go...

This was our compere for the evening, Jules Howarth. There was free beer for performers this night, and a lever/clock that could be pulled to get the act better, quicker or off stage withing 30 seconds.

Brendon Brolly doing his diabolo stuff.

Glyn from St Albans juggling 3 balls.

Big gob Jo span a staff around and threw beakers (pictured).

This guy (called Geordie, i think) continually failed with his diabolo.

Matt juggled glow balls and glow diabolos.

This is "Anthony Gatto" juggling 7 balls (between himself).

"Anthony Gatto" with "Nick Gatto"...

And after downing about 5 pints (between himself)...

... they, um, he, sorry, set a new 9 ring endurance record.

I don't remember much about this act. A french guy told a story with diabolos while Mark And Jo passed a bottle between them.... or something.

Martin from surrey tried to swing poi on a unicycle. He failed.

Geordie with diabolos...

A blending moment.

Jay Gilligan dropping balls on purpose.

Again with scarves and a dog.

Mario did some magic with a racoon and duck. He came back on stage later and performeda quite remarkable ball under cup thing. In the end the pulled a jubbling ball from under a cup and a football sized ball (almost) from under his hat. I didn't get that on film though.

Bryn did some jugging in the dark. This shot was taken using the "night sight" function on my camcorder so it's a bit blurry.
