greg downey this friday?

there was about 10 people in when I was there, and they only had enough jaegermeister for 1 jaegerbomb. Whats the point in putting a night on if you aren't gonna promote it and just hope it does well off its name?

Canny shocking night alround to be honest

Downey played a quality set tho - seems they were more interested in plugging the Judge Jules night than this one

No Jagermeister, lovely warm bottles of lager - great stuff

And the lasses toilets were a piss take - werent open upstairs so my lass had to go downstairs, then they closed so she had to go upstairs - i missed half the night trying to find the toilets for her

With all due respect JG was nothing in comparison to Promise in its hey day. It did very well with the bookings it had though around 2000 - 2002 Promise was easily one of the top 2 or 3 nights in the country, only bettered possibly by Gatecrasher IMO.

From 2003 - 2005 it was never as good as it was in the early days, once it went monthly the bookings became too predictable and the crowd slowly got worse. The only 2 monthly events that came close to how good it once was were the last ever event and the Hardwick 5hr night in 2004.

And Promise at the attic? Isnt even worth mentioning IMO.

my point still stands - it's the closed minded ness of people that they think they would turn their nose up at a night simply cause it's not what/where it used to be, rather than giving it a chance on the strength of the line up it puts on. 2 really good local jocks simon garrington and Luke terry plus a guest, for the same price as a packet of tabs is a winner in my book. Maybe if it was backed by a big night, trying something new in the area , people might have a different attitude and give it a chance, say it was called Gatecrasher North?

However, from the sound of things the venue and the management there are really letting it down, not taking it seriously or getting behind it. they should be doing everything in their power to give the paying punters a good night and spread it's reputation

as for the numbers, i'm only going on what the DJs and promoters have said - so yes, it's hearsay - thats all i'm commenting on.

To be fair ive been to Promise at the attic and it was shite, so my criticism is made with this in mind

it's centrally located club, lots of floors, intimate rooms, i'd say on paper it's got GREAT potential.

i was seen with you, while you were wearing a tux in the cosmic. your view is null and void

no, i wasn't - but G did .. he'd been a rent-a-date or something......................

Did he play Wide Open Space on Friday?

The obsession goes on with this tune, lol.

did you go to work today?

Nah haha. Woke up at 9, was suppose to be there at 7

i woke up at half one, with my USB lead in bed with me!

Fuck nars what time everyone left here, can remember you leaving, then attempting to set up the decks in the kitchen which was fucked off when I saw the critical state of the leads/wires under my decks then just woke up to my manager ringing my phone this morning :spangled:

it was the best "lets go over the town to watch the match" session av had for a while like! shame about the result

the problem is promise put downey on and myst put duguid on the same night, i honestly cudnt care about the name of the night, when i get the choice to see duguid (havnt seen before) or someone who iv seen a good few times (in newcastle alone) then its a no brainer imo. more origionation needed me thinks.

was there any promotionat all done for this night apart from a thread on this board and an event page on facebook? I totally forgot it was on till wednesday or something?
