The Newcastle clubbing scene : 2009

it's a little dried up river bed here

i have no major complaints as far as clubbing goes this year. the list of DJs i have seen in newcastle this year is immense.

things like Beat Therapy, Nuero, Transfusion, Warp and Elements hve been good for the local DJs (speaking from a trance point of view)

but i still feel like newcastle is missing that other club, to rival digital for the massive name bookings, maybe legends, maybe the acedemy?

I'm genuinely sorry if the amount of facebook spamming i do is causing anybody any real irritation, but if I'm honest I've always regarded sending out too many messages as being akin to handing out too many flyers or putting up too many posters ie impossible.

I personally don't have a great deal of respect for facebook other than as a medium for insulting my friends and advertising events, but I do appreciate it could become counter productive to annoy people too much as at some point it may put them off from coming to the events I'm advertising.

The Magda thing is unfortunate as I've ended up setting up 2 events for it due to a cock up, so essentially you get twice as much spam i suppose.

I will say that the thing a lot of the more clued up clubbers on forums etc fail to realise is that the majority of the general public don't have as much knowledge of upcoming events and often need a lot more re-inforcement of dates etc before it actually sticks with them.

FACEBOOK - FUCK OFF

boils my piss ( no offense 2 u geoff ) - buy tickets , buytickets , make money , buy tickets

time to delete some annoying persons i think from my 'friends' list , lol .

im just annoyed its winter and theres not any 'illegals' on in fields or farms this time of year

daint worry about it man geoff

Facebook can be a pain in the arse like but I just remove myself from said groups or events if they get too much. I honestly must've received at least 50 message about GG's birthday on Saturday!!

As for Newcastle's scene I'd say it's done pretty fucking great taking everything into consideration, probably haven't been out as much for years. Do agree about the serious need for another decent, large-ish venue to rival Digital. After Digweed at Legends on Saturday I'd love for someone rich as fuck to buy it and do the necessary upgrades/work as it's a cracking venue/layout/space!!

I'd have to say that this year the nights I've enjoyed most have been outside of Newcastle, but I think thats only because I've got to the point where I want to try out other nights/venues around the country

Neuro is by far the best night in my opinion, only night I will go out of my way to go to every month

to lazy to travel these days/year lol- highlites - the tyne events / tyne tees and lowgate farm , appart from that , not alot ( notice these are non 4 walls venues )

clubs are poo.
too much health and safety, too much control, too much alcohol, not enough freedom.
in my humble opinion
my best this year was on a farm and even with legals it was top fun. and the tyne tees detox.

P.S. I Blatantly put that post up on the wrong thread (again!)

There are no "nightclubs" in newcastle its never been the same since foundation closed.

todays youth prefer scripted 'nights out' in well lit swarve venues for no other reason than to pose for facebook snaps pretending to be having the coolest time ever

dark clubs with underground music filled with absolute clips and sweaty bird girls are a thing of history and its a dam shame

word - oap's speak the truth

too true

as opposed to scaling back your warehouse party to the 5th floor of the vermont????? lol

read this phrase dude..... "PROMOTION"

that means advertising , marketing and promoting an event by mediums other than fadgebook

well you said it and the numbers and success of the nights don't lie

but come to think of it ...at least BETTER than those who RIP global underground artwork lol

was that newcastles 2nd legal warehouse party in may 2009 after the 1st one on pilgram street in may 2008

pike, just for this comment alone i should put you on the guestlist on sat21stnov

do it


you cant find me on fakebook

ah yes pilgrim street. a corker.

Are you still whopping on about that Jody Wisternoff flyer?
