Yes yes! In Summer 2004, breakinbread turned six years old and founders Skeg and Rob Life made it an event to remember.

Since breakinbread's humble beginnings in the back room of a suspect pub in Brixton, in 1998, the club night has grown from strength to strength. Five venues later, London's longest running night on the funk and hip hop scene is now proud to fill-to-bursting the 500 capacity Rhythm Factory.

One person who knows how hectic the night can get is Rachel, The Girl On The Door. Although Rachel has worked for breakinbread for 18 months, both on the door and in the office, she spends relatively little time within the club itself. Her perspective of breakinbread is quite different from those who only attend the night.

In the case of 'The A to Zed of breakinbread', Rachel was also The Girl Behind The Camera. The photos in the exhibition were her response to many a chat with Skeg and Rob about breakinbread, its history, the places it's been and the characters it's met along the way.

The hip hop scene may have a reputation of taking itself too seriously but breakinbread has always tried to add some fun and a party atmosphere into the mix. This exhibition was a lighthearted and personal look at what goes on when Skeg and Rob aren't on the decks.

Even when they aren't playing, music is still a way of life for breakinbread; from the minute they wake up in the morning until the time they go to bed at night, they are surrounded by it. Each photo was 7x7" in an attempt to show how vinyl, in particular, follows them everywhere they go.
