debut screening Drinkalottawater video, comic books, poster art, props and toys made by Mayor McCa

Mayor McCa, like all the best mayors, can do a lot of things. He's not merely a multi-instrumentalist songwriter who can play every instrument known to one-man bands (while singing and tap-dancing), he also draws comics, designs posters and makes stop-motion animation videos, like the mighty fine 'One Million Songs For You'.
'Drinkalottawater' is the title of the most recent song he has animated and the video he's made for was a bigger project; it took Mayor McCa seven months to storyboard, make the props and shoot the video, which is directed by renowned photographer Dean Chalkley and Yemisi Brookes. So naturally he's ready to celebrate its completion.
The Municipality of McCaland presents 'Drinkalottawater'. Enter McCaland and meet its leader, Mayor McCa, as he celebrates the video release by playing live on the night and introducing sets by Moshi Moshi artists Slow Club and The Hoodlums.
Dean Chalkley takes a break from being behind the lens to get back behind the decks, spinning a rockin', rollin' eclectic mix of tunes alongside G the P (Get Involved), Ollie Boat and Miss Red.
And you can enjoy a display of the Mayor's own comic books, poster art, toys and home-made props spanning McCa's prolific career.
