    Whats happened to Promise??

    I'm studying away at uni in London and was really looking forward to paying a visit to Promise last Friday. I had some mates come up for the weekend and the plan was Promise on Friday and then Shindig for Satoshie Tomeii on Saturday. All week I'd been telling everyone that was coming up what a great night Promise was and to expect something special.

    When did Promise had ditched its 'quality' booking policy. What has happened to a club that Parks & Wilson described as 'the best Friday they've played in a while' I remember seeing Sasha, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman, Sander Kleinenberg and Anthony Pappa in quick succession last time I was home.

    What did I walk into last Friday??

    Some hard house hell. It wasnt even half decent hard house hell. It was unrelenting and unintelligent.

    Had the girl - Kerry James I believe - ever heard of a mixing desk. I'd be interested to know how she chose the noise she played.

    The place had none of its old quality about it. Foundation was half empty. Young kids worshipping hard house.


    Big Mistake.

    i think u have a point.
    not about Kerry, her songs or mixing, but the direction.
    things have changed, and last friday was probably the hardest night (or 1 of the hardest nights) promise has ever seen.

    personaly, i hope this isnt a regular occurance, as i would like to see the club stick with some prog, trance, and some hard trance. but mostly TRANCE.

    it must have been a shock......

    suppose he has a point about the change in music if he likes that sort a thing, but the club was really full and the atmosphere was class!!

    think it was one of the hardest nights, but i think that was the limit it shud reach, it was dead good tho!!

    once this new room is opened im sure we willl be able to satisfy everybodys music needs...trance doesnt bring in as bigger crowd as the harder stuff, with harder stuff it goes off more often which is what i like to see, and it can only go off when its packed...promise wouldnt suit a hard house niche, but hard trance has a bit more quality about it and would suit promise to a tea!

    i think trance does pull the punters. put on PVD, AVB, tiesto (if only) and u will get loads in.
    other harder nights in Newcastle dont get that busy.
    Look @ SSNE and solid.

    Last fri wasnt busy cos it was hard, cos i dont think that many ppl in there knew who was playing, cos MIKE cancelled late.
