Detox 4th May

that was only this event due to him having to shift the venue - u can't say thats every detox though?

when was that then???

certainly not broomley

yeah we had amber dee in the techno room so what???

it was mint seeing her play on abilliard table

and the old skool room had uep, smurf, varty , richie etc...

the only one who played hard was ranga / nicol

and the gig i enjoyed least - at that place on westgate road had james, jonny, pete wallis, chris littlewood, richie in the back room


maybe the backroom at freaky dancing at the cosmic ballroom is more to your liking???

peter samplers, gav, jonny , james,

TBH the 3rd room has always been quiet with not a big following but us lot.....thats why its nicknamed the stanley room these days, i feel sorry for the dj's who get shoved in that room cos they know it'll be quiet

2nd room used to have a much better following of waifs and stray like hippies, rothbury there were about 6 people in that tent all night, art centre EVERYONE bar those trying to escape were in the main room.

but hey you cant please everyone

i can say that about broomley and last castle too.

broomley at one point all rooms were boshing out ridiculous shite and stairs etc were full of people just trying to chill out cos they're was no break from it

With reference to rothbury a lot of people were let down due to a wank bus company

the only act that boshed it was donors and thats what we wanted them to do

the whole idea is that savage main room went tech / trancey after proteus who we had to put on at 1am due to a variety of logistical / travel arrangements and this would split the crowd so the more trancey lot would watch savage and the hard lovers would go see donors

you couldnt put donors in the booth downstairs cos you would have been able to see what they were doing and their live thing is very visual / crowd pleasing

the one thing we hant figured was that over 600 people would turn up and the heat off the gay level and the main room turning the top room into a furnace

as I said if people want their kind of event i suggest they go and book the acts and put a party on, then I can come / not come and have an opinion on your event

i totally disagree

broomley one , we see your point , but if half the djs hadnt pitched up at the wrong times and played in the wrong room sthe musical flow would have worked perfectly

the last castle , best techno room weve ever had

and the castle always had a chill out

i hear what you are saying but a lot of it i disagree with

castle had the best chill out ever....in fact it had a few if you knew where to hide....

i don't understand why people are so bitter and ready to have a dig at it. it sounds so clichéd when u say "it was all about the love of the music" - now, it's turned into something horrible. Some people resent how things change, some the success, i don't know. maybe i'm too involved in it all now, it's hard to have fun anymore i was so ill on friday even though i'd had 1 drink, i had to go home - that would never of happened in the past!

i trust that was gag

i aint on about him

i'm not bitter, i made a statement and some people didnt like it, and now i find myself trying to explain myself when really its unneccessary.......or maybe i am secretly just melt trying to keep my thread alive.....lol

In the attic

Its quite hard to keep a happy medium some people prefer it in secret locations others in the pub set up no pleasing everyone but it continues to grow event upon event

no publicity is bad publicity unless you are gary glitter

That's what happened to me with clubbing in general - too many years and too involved. Going clubbing stopped being fun. Now I just enjoy it every once in a while.

the feeling, in general seems to be bitterness towards the night - not aimed at you but the feedback that seems to be banded around

yes it was a gag....speaking of gagging.....

did richard tell you we bumped into doobs etc camping out at druridge the other week? We were on about 'RAVE POO' have you still got the footage, or indeed did you get any footage?

in the secret room!!!


the chill out room and the kitchen are also adequate!!!

I wouldnt believe everything you read on the internet

99% of comments on message boards are purely throw away

The Kitchen was quality :groovy:

aaah doobs lover of the great outdoors and purveyor of fine outdoor events on the same night as detox overboard so as to scupper our events, yes i know of said same dude

unfortunately we never did get footage of the rave poo

but i have it on good authroity we identified the culprit

jock!!!


tbh, ive achieved all i set out to with this lark

goodbye
