Promise - Ikon - Dave Pearce & Richard Tulip - Sat 18th Feb 2006

:tut:

Don't think it's down to making money for a living, I'm pretty sure he'll rely on Promise for that............not



Looks like it could be down to Ikon I think, Ikon whether you like or not have a big following on a Saturday night and will be wanting to make as much money on the bar and/or door as they will any other night as they are a business, and businesses don't run at a loss hence the ridiculous hiring of Pearce - who will pull in all the divvys and Deakin is probably banking on the hardcore Promise crowd showing up

Mark should come on here and answer your questions coz this thread is just going to turn into a load of bollocks like the other one

Exactly. I doubt they'd hand over one of their busiest nights without getting something in return.

I avoided ikon for 2 years now bunch of charvas, and idiots you end up getting in a fight straight away! Good line up dave pearce is ok dj judging by his past radio 1 shows. I havent heard richard tulip play yet!

the hardcore promise crowd?

no way. dP at Ikon? and why does he need to come on here an explain himself? he doesn't have to.


it's abouit making money of the promise brand - and who's to blame him.

ikon is well busy on a satu night - BUT by having the Promise brand above it - it can only add to it - but it won't be bringing in the original promise followers - it'll appeal to the later followers who came for the occasional big names and do the arena events.

If this is was a one off to make a bit of money why use the promise name???

This is the new promise, fucking deal with it!

all we hav 2 do and wait and c what its like u never no it could b great

To Be honest this is not about cash or Promise return .
Ikon wanted us to do it
Dave wanted to do it
So why not ?
i,m not about to enter into into a debate about this as my involvement in clubs in now marginal .
Just though i,d give a short reply
Promise is looking at a really good venue out of town currently plus some in newcastle .

fancy asking

I must say it's a dissapointment, this is not the big come back i'd hoped for! As a pretty big supporter of Promise, I would personally rather Promise never returned (as Promise) than have this happen.

But it's pointless slating Mark for it, every single one of you would do the same at the end of the day. If it makes plenty dosh to try to get Promise back as Promise, then so be it. Although, I also think another name would have been better.

It will be a total charver night like, just usual charver Ikon crowd, with more charvers.

Needless to say I won't be going!!

It's done a 'Ministry of Sound'

leave off dave, i know his radio show is a disgrace but everytime ive seen him hes rocked the fuckin show, far far far better than fergie or jules as radio 1's djs go

now THATS a joke

not at all, jules is a consistent let down, and fergie is beyond a joke... he made the whole fuckin arena stand still with his set at godskitchen, crap mixing, poor tune selection, and not keepin with the pace going


where as everytime ive seen dave he played decent trance (no dj sammy in sight) his mixing has been tight enough so dont see what everyones problem is


end of

ive seen dave a few times, once he played an alright set, but the last time he played promise was on the same night as katana cancelled which was a let down, and at the end pearce played an awefull set which made me leave around 1 o lock! i couldnt beleieve what i was hearing! total let down, especially when i payed £15

Not a bad point like, Fergie was horrendous at the Arena...literally everybody was standing still thinking..what the hell is this shit

Jules I think is good though, deffo beter than Dave

tuned into fergie last wk and wasnt sure i liked what i was hearing

some dodgy techno electroclash hybrid - is this what he done at the arena?

i've seen both jules and fergie play good in the past and both play bad also, i've yet to hear DDP even pull off a mix, i thought he was playing a set of scot project style breakdowns the ammount of double beats i could hear

aye something like that, was absolutley awful, killed the atmosphere completely!!

Then obir came on and WIPED the floor with him.

seen dave a couple of times and he is 4 better then fergie with that stupid fucking hat:evil:
